I saw this internet streaming box being advertised on the Next News Network and wondered if anyone has heard about it and what your opinions might be. It is supposed to supplant cable, Roku, and many others.
Here is Gary Franchi with the Next News Network pitching it.

I knew Billy Mays.
Billy Mays was a friend of mine.
You’re no Billy Mays.
Fast look at their website.
It seems that they access web videos and streams, rather than regular TV channels. If that is all they offer, their rates for their equipment are excessive.
One can download various internet video players that cost nothing.
I would have to read more about Tiger Stream before I bought their equipment.
I am leary because they do not show a listing of channels they access.
Who is Billy Mays?
So let me get this straight.
$400 - $800 investment + monthly internet bill + extras.
I have a love hate relationship with Comcast/Xfinity.
$180/month
I can record tons on the Xfinity DVR.
I can get the local harness racing channel live.
I can watch PCNC which gives me Pennsylvania legislative coverage live plus the PA Farm Show and lots of PA related coverage.
I can watch most cable channels on my phone or tablet.
100mbs+ Ethernet, about half that on WiFi.
Includes phone service.
Reliable...for a change.
Since we mostly don’t go out anymore on demand is very nice.
Expensive but really works for Mrs p6 and me.
Sounds like more Chinese "technology"! (IOW, they stole some design and mass produced it!)
Billy Mays was the WORLDS BEST AS SEEN ON TV pitchman. He died about a decade ago somewhat mysteriously. Some said it was cocaine abuse. Others said it was a crack to his head.
He was very entertaining to watch.
People I know always have phone trouble..
Ours has been great.
Video:
The guy only showed the box. He never showed how the screen would look or what actual channels might be accessed.
Read the comments on the youtube video page. Most of them don’t seem very impressed.
Probably not the link you intended.
Search Amazon.com for "Android box".
My scamdar is hitting a nine on this one.
My guess is that it’s a basic firefox internet box with adblock and not a streaming service.
No way, NO way, you can offer NFL/NHL/MLB/Movies for free with a legit streaming service. Those all cost $$$ for the service provider.
I bought my first high definition media player 6 or 7 years ago. Right now I have a Sony and a Western Digital, both that cost 1/5 the price of this streamer. They are also both wireless and don’t need some huge antenna to connect to the Internet. That looks more like something out of the early days of wireless. If you ask me this is overpriced garbage.
Tiger Stream gives you the opportunity to stream movies, TV shows, live sports, boxing and MMA events, live streams of your favorite TV channels, and 3D movies, all in HD! The movie selection is unlimited
Sounds like the BS antenna commercials out there, "Dump your cable and satellite TV" if all you want is over the air content that is.. They show Netflix and say no monthly fees? Good luck with that!
