Yeah....
Seen quite a few similar items like this around....
I'm sure the contents are from some illegal iptv service.....
You take a chance with things like this , like if they get caught your
$350 investment turns into a $50 Android Box...

Always use a VPN with devices such as these and you won't get tagged by your internet service provider as a pirate...which could cause you some trouble...
Surfshark would be my choice in terms of VPN

There are so many sources out there...this has been going on for decades now...
For people with a tiny bit of knowledge, you can do stuff like KODI or Stremio media centers that run apps that go out and find you anything you want spread out all over the internet...all for free if you don't need 4k or atmos sound...all you need is an android box...like a firestick or whatever...will also work on Windows PC and Linux and probably a bunch of other platforms.
If you want better quality like 4k and Atmos without buffering and hiccups, it will only cost you a couple bucks a month...
Anyway, it's all out there and has been for ages...I'm sure whatever android box goforgin bought could be retooled in the right hands to run all of the above if his source ever runs dry....

The reason to cut the cable is not to steal content, it is to not pay for what you do not use. Cable company's are selling HBO, Showtime, and other extras that streaming already has free movies on Freevee & Tubi and others have. It is a joke to pay for movies everyone has already seen.

That's why people steal content...
Cable companies won't listen....all they do is hit you with more fees
It used to be maybe a dollar or 2 a year ...now its 3-4 times a year
But its ok...they are getting hit hard with masses leaving for streaming...
They did it to themselves....

Hidden taxes and fees, in New Hampshire no tax on internet only period. No charge for local channels that are free, but cable has a hefty charge for local channels that you must pay.
