    Your link says

    NO MONTHLY FEES ( FREE FOR LIFE ).

    Then it says…

    So there are no fees for watching the latest release movies? How does that work???

      hi,
      i can answer this (i have tvpad 2 atm)
      these are basically databases that are stored on some server somewhere (most likely china or HK i think) on a very fast connection.
      The quality of movies are not hd by any margin, but they are quite watchable (above SD quality) and they are certainly free. The choice of movies are quite limited though, as they upload movies onto their server (again, who knows where these servers are coz obviously it would be illegal) whenever they feel like it.

      The best use of these are for watching live channels (korean (hd), hk, china, japan, and even some foxtel channels although they are NOT hd) or dramas on their database. Unlike the movies, dramas are definitely HD.

      I haven't regretted buying this one bit for the last 6 months.

        The choice of movies are quite limited though

          That's why I'm asking the Rep, are these movies legal or not?

          lol. all those Hulu deals/forum posts are prob illegal too.

        • jv on 19/10/2013 - 21:08

          you have to pay for access to Hulu, it is not illegal…

        • TCM on 19/10/2013 - 21:15

          You're wrong this time JV.

          Fact, a computer can be used to download pirated movies, TV and software. It doesn't make the actual computer itself illegal.

          The fact that this TVPad comes without apps means that it only becomes illegal when someone installs an app to use it in an illegal manner. So selling the item or advertising the item isn't in itself illegal.

        • jv on 19/10/2013 - 21:22

          You're wrong this time JV.

          Did you read their website ???

          I'm asking the Rep whether the movies they are promoting there for free, are actually legal?

          They state :

          Tv Pad3 provides an all new feature called On-Demand service that allows you to watch latest movies, anytime you want.

        • Make it so on 19/10/2013 - 21:28

          From website: "It’s legal and authentic.. "
          Uhm, I'm with JV on this one. If you don't mind that the "latest movies" are pirated, that's up to you. But call it what it is.

        • jv on 19/10/2013 - 21:41

          But call it what it is.

          Rep has mysteriously gone silent on this question…

        • TCM on 19/10/2013 - 21:48

          One question for you JV, if this phrase was not included, would your view on the TVPad change? And would you oppose it to being posted here?

          My point is, everyone knows what this thing can do. The rep made a mistake of advertising the legalities of the apps but it doesn't change the physical item that you're receiving or what it can do.

        • Store RepKenty615 @ Handy Computers on 19/10/2013 - 21:59

          I'd like them to verify if this is true and if so, how…

        • jv on 19/10/2013 - 22:03

          all of the content is against the law. the servers are in China though so good luck, major American companies have tried taking them down but since China dont give a shit about IP, no such luck

          On November 16, 2012, the Television Broadcast Co., TVB (USA). (hereinafter “TVB”), through its agent, made a public statement through the media to the American public that anyone who sells a TVpad product, or anyone who uses a TVpad product is allegedly violating the United States copyright law. TVB’s statement is false and is misleading.

          And this is being sold in Australia, so most likely is illegal here too…

          So in other words you don't know.

          The purpose of this box can be to play games, to view content from a USB source so it's not solely for illegal content.

          As I've said before, it comes without anything installed so it's like a blank Android system. How is that illegal?

          The box is not illegal, its the use (ie. viewing) of TVBs 'intellectual property' by others w/o their consent that makes it illegal. Its practically stealing.

        • jv on 19/10/2013 - 23:37

          The box is not illegal, its the use

          The product info on the website is telling you that you can legally view latest release movies for free…

          This is an Australian website with an Australian ABN and comes under the ACCC.

          It is illegal for an Australian business to make false claims

        • TCM on 19/10/2013 - 23:44

          As a TVPAD user, in regards to "latest release movies"
          The movies provided on TVPAD are very LIMITED
          and..you never find a movie that currently showing on cinema in TVPAD

          But I do not comment whether those movies are legal or not…I reckon some movies' license fee have been paid but are limited to the broadcasting region (eg. only allowed to play within china etc.)

  • [Deactivated] on 19/10/2013 - 23:24

    I have been using TVPAD since the first version, and the fact are below:
    1) If you are aiming for movies or tv dramas, I can tell that the supplies of movies are VERY LIMITED. Putting aside whether these movies are pirated or not, TVPAD is NOT a good product in terms of watching movies.

    2) If you are trying to compare TVPAD with other Android TV BOX, you CAN NOT compare them because although TVPAD use android OS as base, it cannot install any android apps nor getting apps from Google Playstore. It doesn't accept google APK files, it use its unique app coding method to avoid any other android systems to use its app.

    3) TV PAD is a very good Live TV streaming box if you are favor with Asian TV channels, especially channels from Hong Kong, China, Korea and Japan. Comparing to the paid service from TVBA (TVB Australia), you pay nothing after getting your TV PAD (TVBA monthly subscription is around $60 - $120). Again, I am not commenting whether these contents are legal or not. TV Channels is broadcasting freely to the air in those countries / cities, and what TV PAD did is just to stream these channels via internet..

    4) Finally, as what other OZbargainers said above. TV PAD itself is LEGAL as it does not provide any content but just an OS installed in an android based machine. They never claimed that those content providers are belongs or related to them…but everyone knows what this means…

  • nerd1 on 20/10/2013 - 10:45

    strange on the focus of the movies. this is a box that let you geo-shift so you can watch asian TV programming. the movies that are listed free I would've assumed are ones that are being aired in their respective countries.

    This is not very different to the various VPN/DNS services that allows you to view US TV streams here

    I've bought a TVPad2 from them before their post here. and would still like to probably buy another… will have a look at the TVPad3 being demonstrated before I decide. Hopefully they still have TVPad2s at the old price.
