@Semore Yes, you can do that too. Everyone have their own likings and ways to do things. Not many people have advance PCs or TVs, so many people would like to watch video with remote control rather then sitting and finding the free streams. This one is no monthly fees and the box is working fine for my old man. So, I am good cus I have this laptop If I wanna watch anything I can.
Most of the Pakistani and Indian Channels are on it, and also they are from their country time. So, whtever you will watch is the same on the local channels in Asia.
It have extra channels then Dishnetwork as Hum tv, aaj tv and many others are not here in North America yet.
