Mag boxes

[dan]

Which genuine mag boxes are ideal for IPTV streaming in TRNC. 254 or 256? What advantages or disadvantages are there with them? Can you record by using external hard drive with a mag box?

Any Mag box works but depends what you want to use it for which will dictate storage requirements. I for example have a 250 and works flawlessly with a paid iptv service. However I also have an Nvid Shield and it Works absolutely amazingly and far easier to load with whatever you require and storage capacity is endless really . Chose the right Shield and it’s all you will ever need to watch whatever you want ( with or without Kodi)!!!!!

Cut that chord
