I have been hearing a lot about a Chinese streaming box that allegedly can stream Hollywood and English product through chinese services. Does anyoune know anything solid about this box, what you can receive in the uS and whether it is legal in the US?

As of this writing I see almost a hundred views but no replies. I guess that no one has more information on this than I provided. It was a shot in the dark anyway.

Lots of android tv boxes coming out of china. XIaomi Streaming Video Box uses Cortex-A9 (800MHz) pretty slow. I just got a Minix x7 for $130 and its amazing.

I got my amswer elsewhere. The devie itself is legal but the Chinese services that show copyrighted materials in English wat no charge are nre not legal here. I am not sure there are any penalties for the user but it is past my piracy threshold.
