I asked them more information, they are the sole reseller of iSakura for Europe so it's a reliable store . Europe = reliable ? lol I know what i'm talking about. Also all the stream providers are chinese, hence i prefer a chinese reseller for better communication and reactivity. The price disavanta...

Same happened with iHome. I guess nothing can be done on provider's side.
Maybe, on client side, we could delay the video to sync with the audio.

I like the stand alone boxes better, but I think it is safer to distribute APKs. One of the things that they have been cracking down on are the manufacturers of these IPTV boxes.

When you increase the number of channels with the same bandwith you must reduce the quality/service.
Simple as that.

Sure, it depends on the profile used with the x264 compression and how powerfull is the box to decode it.
