Which IPTV on ANdroid TV for chinese live TV?

I am trying to install this for mum. She currently has Nvidia Shield with mypad4k subscription. It works well but the chinese live channels sometimes goes down. Does anyone know any alternative? Need .APK to install with login.

Don't TOP UP too much...

davidw89 — Thu, 19 Aug 2021 16:11:19 +0800

I purchased a mypad4k from this seller on Shopee:
https://shopee.com.my/areeshdaryan

I loaded up 6 years of mypad4k membership. Then mypad4k stopped running and he moved my account over top MYiptv4k. This worked ok for 6 months. Yesterday, the account stopped working all of a sudden (says 0 days remaining, and after I log out, I cannot log in again). I asked him to fix but doesn't seem likely able to, as my top up code is linked to mypad4k.

Don't make the same mistake as me. Only load up one year as there's no telling how long these IPTV company last.

How to leave a job (Expat)?

davidw89 — Mon, 02 Mar 2020 20:18:56 +0800

I'm currently working in a toxic workplace and I would like to leave. I have a working visa in Malaysia. I was wondering what is the consequence of suddenly leaving? The HR department threatened me and said if I leave, I will be detained in the border. I don't know how much of it is true.

Is it possible for employee to cancel the working visa?

What would be the best way forward if I want to leave.

I am ok if I don't come back to Malaysia in the future.

Just wanted to ask, are people experiencing flickering on some channels like tvn movies, tvn fhd, celestial fhd. Most channels work fine. I'm suspecting it might be a server issue.

I am watching from Google Chrome, PC.

Bank account that uses an app to verify?

davidw89 — Sat, 07 Dec 2019 08:49:25 +0800

Hi

I will be leaving Malaysia next year but would like to retain my Malaysian bank account. I am currently with HSBC and they send me a text message to my Malaysian phone number to verify every transaction. This will not be possible for me as I will be living abroad. Is there a bank that offers an app that can verify transaction or something and decent interest rate and no fees?

I have a 2015-Mid 15" Macbook Pro. The battery needs replacing (service message). Happy to replace myself and purchase the parts of Shopee but from the videos, it doesn't look like it's a simple process. Where can I find a computer shop that can replace this with decent batteries?

I'm interested in coming to Malaysia as a digital nomads for up to 6 months. I will most likely be based in Kuala Lumpur or Penang. What websites can I use to find a luxury apartment preferably close to public transport and having amenities such as a quiet reading area, pools, gym and spa? I have had a look on airbnb but the prices are a lot higher for long term.
