My brother bought this box at some sort of trade show. It came preloaded with a iptv apps and it seems to work. Its like you buy the box and get lifetime iptv. It has about 9000 channels.

Reminds me of preloaded firesticks people were selling years ago… and got in trouble for it.

Well I did get a vSeebox. The main reason, I want to use the Catchup feature. I have tried several differnet ISPTVs and the Catchup never worked, so the vSeeBox. It works but not as many channels as would have thought there would be.
Now what I don’t like about it: Developer Options are restricted, big disadvantage.

Are you saying you can’t sideload new apps on the box?

I’ve had a couple different models of this box for 2 plus years now, with limited issues, works great… Live TV, local channels from around the country, all movie channels.
VOD… Movies and series.

I’ve used the V3 Plus for three months with no problems. It constantly updates and should be rebooted about once a week. It takes about 30 seconds. The benefit to me is the pre-loaded IPTV. It would take me weeks, if not months, to sideload and organize another Android box. If, in a year or two, this system gets shut down, it will still be worth the investment compared to what I’ve saved on cable. Also, in response to rileygeo.bob, yes, you can sideload new apps. I just added KODI with no issues.

Yes, you can sideload, but there really is no need with all that is included.

I have a vSeeBox V5 Pro. Overall, the box is decent and the content is solid. But don’t be fooled by their “1-year hardware warranty” claim.
I bought directly from the official site ([vseeboxus.com](http://vseeboxus.com)), since they warn that purchases from 3rd-party sellers like Amazon aren’t covered. But guess what? They don’t honor the warranty anyway.
My unit has a faulty LAN port. I followed all their instructions—sent photos, video, everything. First they claimed they never received the video. Then when I resent it, they said it “didn’t show the problem,” even though I clearly demonstrated the Ethernet cable was plugged in while the setup screen showed “Not connected.”
Eventually they said, “Thanks, I’ll forward this to the warranty department”—that was two weeks ago. Zero follow-up since.
**Bottom line:** Terrible customer service. If your box fails, you’re on your own.

Always heard preloaded boxes are bad. BUT, my inquiry to the forum is, how does one program a box like this to have all channels and do automatic updates to the device? Is anyone familiar with this? Please, as a TROYPOINT inside. I’d def appreciated any knowledge or insight in regards to this. Thank you.

The device in your post is made to look like a Formuler device but I don’t know what the specs are - my guess is that they are trying to make it look like a quality device.
They have brought a modified IPTV app branded for them, pre setup to include an IPTV service and sold at inflated price.
Not sure if you are able to load any apps you want on this device.
**I would never expect a lifetime service to work forever**. If it works for a couple of years - you may break even for the cost of buying this device.
While they continue to fund that IPTV service - it will continue to work unless it get taken down by law.
I hope that answers your questions

Not much different from any other device, you buy the box, pick your IPTV service, set it up in your app of choice. Done. Now as long as the subscription is paid the service will update the box will update also. You have the same thing for the most part, some of them have back up channels in case the first ones are down, if you wanted that buy a second DIFFERENT iptv service for your back up.

Some of them come with extra apps like Flix Vision, Onstream, you can side load but I do not believe you can access developer options. I believe most of these run on just Android OS. From what I have seen in different forums Super Boxes are crap compared to the Vsee, both in quality of build and programing. I know some people that have the Vsee boxes and they all love them. I have never used one, I did talk with a dealer and ask if he ever had any returned, I said I would like to try one but am to cheap to spend that much on something I pretty much already have. He said for all the years he has been selling no one has ever returned one.
