No idea if it’s smart or not as I’ve never IQ tested it bruv, all I know is it’s a Sony 4K and it’s about 8 months old.
There are probably Sinclair ZX boxes out there just as smart! Age may make you wiser, but definitely not smarter!
Lots of the guys here have kodi boxes which they buy from some Austrian. They pay 4000 baht for the box and installation but they all fail regularly as they need updating. Whereas my stealth approach to film and sport programs on the net is akin to Raffles.
I find the service is far more easily accessible and you get a far more stable stream with a hosted service. I use one who keeps his head well down so he doesn’t get closed down. Costs me £40 a year + the initial cost of a Mag 256 Box which I bought 3 years ago. For that I get all sports, latest movies, all 3pm kick offs etc.
