Everything You Need? SuperBox S5 MAX Android TV Box Review

[@matthewjohnson8117]

So is this a better preloaded firestick??

[@blake-ge8vq]

I'm quite impressed with the new update of the Superbox S5 Max. Especially the voice command, searching for programs or movies is very fast. Well done!

[@Caligirl90110]

Is there a tv guide listing for each channel?

[@kurash2]

Can you actually watch sports without subscriptions? I am in Canada.

[@Caligirl90110]

My friend brought hers over. It’s awesome. The only downside was that we couldn’t find a tv guide listing for the individual channels. There is of course a guide showing all the channels plus live Tv. 1653 channels.

[@Grimmjow19872]

What about movies? Are they free, same for newer movies and per view?

[@DetrickROS]

@@Grimmjow19872 all free

[@ISon-GokuI]

​@@Grimmjow19872I know this comment is 2 months ago, But yeah all movies are free, And shows, Like Deadpool and Wolverine.. Bad Boys Ride Or Die, And more. It's 200 to 100 bucks i think but it is worth it I'll tell ya that. So all Movies and Shows are free, No Renting, No Buying.

[@chbucdmx5557]

I still use my s2pro which I bought about 4 years ago and still works fine except they stopped sending me updates about a years and a half ago. But I still watch movies and ppv on weekends with it. Be aware they only send you updates for about 2 years to force you buying a newer model.

[@jicamo_2493]

DIsclaimer ... YOU NEED GOOD WIFI FOR THIS lol i see alot of people complaining about buffering and etc. its cuz you are running off of Mcdonalds wifi

[@jclbuxfan]

It looks kind of cool how everything is put together. I just have a Fire TV stick that’s that has four or five apps that get pretty much anything I need to see.

[@HaideeCoriell]

The Superbox S5 Max's latest upgrade has really impressed me. With the voice command in particular, looking up shows or movies happens quickly. Excellent work!

[@billsmith6648]

❌ Yeah .... the worst keyboard of all ... Slow internet connection too.

[@OraliaLonginotti]

I've just bought this box for few months. It works so well and everything seems so good

[@Walter.Hartwell.white99.1]

Do you have to pay for the streaming service beforehand or does it come with a account to like Netflix and Disney+

[@CitroX-lo2uo]

@@Walter.Hartwell.white99.1 All movies and TV channels are free, you don't need to pay monthly fees

[@jonschlottig9584]

It's all free once you buy the box. Idk about Netflix, but it has HBO? STARZ, all.the sports channels etc.

[@OfficialMistaHyde]

How much are they paying you to say that

Is this legal or do we have to have a vpn? What app are you able to get? Can you get Netflix, Hulu, Disney plus or just live cable?

[@retgi1]

No it's not and a vpn is best used with any of these TV services.

Yes they are legal. Google them.

[@Jennlewis16]

What channels are on live tv? Just ones i would get with an antenna? Or is it like paying for cable?

[@JeanneGarza-f5p]

Can I get HBO, Showtime, and other premium stations that I get with a Direct TV package?

[@cochogro26]

Yes

[@sloth1992]

This reminds me of Kodi on a raspberry pi. I bet half the stuff doesn't work and if it does, it won't last long.

[@shauncoxon764]

These are legit. I use them to watch all sporting events as you’re able to get local channels from every region. Haven’t played for the nfl package in years. I also get all mlb, nhl, and ncaa sports.

[@DonaldDnicefromtwitcH]

All of that u mention for sure

[@thebootybandit7322]

Just got mine today really surprised with it

[@billsmith6648]

Not just in US ... Sports all over the world

[@JP-hh3mt]

This is why I bought it. I want to watch all the NFL games. Everything else is just added value.

[@DonaldDnicefromtwitcH]

My box turns off when I turn the tv off. I can turn it back on . I have to unplug and plug it back in.

[@charlesedwards1163]

I have an Xbmc box and it sucks . Hope this is much better

[@dave_r]

Hmmm... interesting product, and nice overview, though the price seems a bit too high unless you're sure you are going to use it. I like the wired ethernet option.

[@billsmith6648]

[@jorgelopez683]

Can u use this to replace your cable box

[@yabodabodooo644]

oh yea baby...completely eliminates the need for cable. local and global channels

[@kowboys7]

I received my box with the apps and app store preinstalled. If I update the box with their latest firmware, will I have to reinstall everything?

[@gwoj9836]

Would have been nice to see the tv guide. It’s literally one of the most important feature. How easy or hard to navigate. But hey thanks, I wasn’t sure if the remote was plastic w rubber buttons. That’s a deal breaker

[@AaronDavis0121]

Aren’t all remotes these days plastic …. With rubber buttons ..?

[@JmacHokie]

Does this work in Germany to get US sporting events?

[@HallTravelChronicles2.0]

Is there an app to record tv shows?

[@TashaOzols]

This box is extremely amazing

[@beg4mercy972]

Does the Superbox S5 max support multiview/multipl screens at once? If so what is the app?

[@jant2470]

so, you can only watch live TV?

[@DoeeChannel-zo1ze]

How many TV channels and movies are there?? I would like to buy this box

[@jonschlottig9584]

Plenty- it's well worth it!!

[@Orangestardust]

Why would you need to buy this if you can get a google/android TV with all the streaming apps preloaded?

[@jillnothwehr1573]

You don't pay to watch Netflix, Amazon, etc. It's free

[@theshumanat0r537]

I can download a copy of all the included apps on the device so you can run them on your phone and just stream it to tv through chrome cast. I don’t mind since none of these apps are exclusive to the box. Its just marketing

[@Carolinakid1984]

​@@jillnothwehr1573there are apps for free on fire stick and android for that

[@gomorrha]

I'm staying away from these Android based TV boxes. Bought one in the past and it was a nightmare. The software is generally buggy as heck. In another review for this box it just kicked him out of an app he was using. And I doubt the 'live tv' apps are going to be any good...Also in the other review it was only outputting at 1080p, but was capable of reading 4k. Not sure what is up with that. $359 is absolutely bonkers for a sketchy android box.

[@Robtech]

KZbin removed the first version of the review, so this is the butchered version. After that experience, I don't plan to cover more of these boxes in the future. But yeah, paying for the service mostly.

[@dretseljohnson5166]

That's true these boxes are way overpriced and they are a bit shaky. They are good at best but they do need improvements. I say build your own and save yourself about $250. These boxes at best should sell for $149 and that's at best a lot of these boxes are twitchy and shaky as a rattlesnake. Yes they do lag and freeze. Turn off just all app that you don't need in the permissions and your box may need minimum resetting.

[@theshumanat0r537]

For that price, one can buy a mini-PC, and forego all the issues that come with such an Android TV system.

[@Kita529]

Aliexpress website $115..even its nit worth..garbage

[@billsmith6648]

You got mixed up ....!!! What mini-PC will do for you ...??? mini-PC can't give you movies , show ... and many many thing for you to watch. This SB can do a lot more than mini-PC But why get mini-PC ....? ... Laptop today are cheap I had many of them .... and I had 3 SB Elite too.

[@jicamo_2493]

homie said a mini pc ...... LMFAOOOOOOOO no mini pc will give you every live tv channel there is

[@Slyceratops]

Any PC will and can give you live television, you just have to know how to use a PC. Any 300 dollar computer could outpreform any TV box . Furthermore, Superbox doesn't give you every live television channel there is.

Hi Rob. Just curious to know if this has a screen reader for people that are totally blind, and if not could I install Talkback on it ? Also, do these boxes have an app where you can watch TV or on demand on the go ? Thanks.

Not that I know of, but you can install apps from the Google Play Store. Just the live TV channels on offer which look to be nearly all in the USA.
