Birth of Zoetvbox...

At end of 2015, I decided to record n explain how Zoetvbox come about...

Jan 2015 - created facebook group tv box by Zoe
                     Start sharing about tv box

At that time, while xiaomi is the favorite box in Singapore. I post on other group that this is not value for money. Group owner ask me to pay if I want to start groupbuy. I have no intention to start groupbuy that time.. Subsequently, they kicked me out of their group ...
If I want to prove to people that xiaomi is not the only box... I need to let people try alternative box. So I started my first groupbuy on 10moon T2 box.

Groupbuy get tougher than I imagine. I bear risk of faulty box. I did plan to stop groupbuy but subsequent , I managed to root 10moon. With new progress, I continued with groupbuy as I wanted to share this rooted set.

While i post screenshot of CartoonHD, i refuse to tell people the app name. Yes, I found CartoonHD much earlier than anyone else, I give privileges to my box buyer. Tat time my thought is to force people to step out to share , to join me.  As long as someone share something, I will share CartoonHD. Unfortunately, I still get no help....... then someone attack me in my group... so sad that I did not get any support... feeling all alone.

I stopped groupbuy...getting wear out.. just telling people what box is good. They can buy themselves... then I come across Amlogic S805 box. I tempted to try out....a member tell me juz buy, he willing to wait.... he buy for parents. In most case, I rejected because I unable to commit n not confident since it is also new box to me but he put full trust letting me free play. I take up this ...
Since the box is for parent. It must be user friendly. I took 3wk, few sleepless night to complete my own launcher.... I know once it goes to public, it will be shared out easily. So I need to protect my work. I recalled a ex buyer telling me that she like my box and it could be a brand. I created Zoetvbox

Now 3week of hardwork shouldn't be only to limited people. I started groupbuy again with intention to share out this design. Again, supporting new user is not easy, takes time...wear out easily. I asked for help... but noone. I raised price of my box in order to get someone to help me....things not as smooth as it goes.

Along the way, I noticed that I get discriminated by other fb group because I am a group owner and done groupbuy. I noticed my work was out to public and others become hero.

I not giving up on Zoetvbox. Its my hard work. A auntie without knowledge in android ... to come to this far... l moving on...

28/Dec - I used to have a few android box.. each time app get outdated, gotta update them... too much time and effort...
In Sep, while playing 1 box, somehow got error, though it can be fixed but I'm so tired of repeat fixing, I lelong all away at $30 n keep only Zoetvbox.
So idea is to stay 1 model then focus on it... zoetvbox has recovery features, take only 4min to restore... other box no such features.
In Nov, to perfect my android box w dvb-t2 , I buy more stuff.. experiment and I success ...

All channel more than 85% signal strength n in good quality.
Dec is very busy month for me. One android box come to my attention, ie android 5.1. This box very value for $. Now, I have to make a decision if I still want to focus 1 model only... option
1) Zoetvbox
2) dvb t2 box
3) android 5.1
Due to different kernel, option 2 n 3 would mean I need to sacrifice zoetvbox launcher I loved so much or patch it. Patching is no longer easy for me........

Ok, do it... ganbatei !! .
