Thread: Showbox App...thank me later

I run my business off of comcast. Aside from an occasional outage they have been rock solid and like 68% cheaper then what I was paying before. You can ask Joe, I was making a mortgage payment with my phone lines and internet and elvis dumervils (fax). Now I pay like $350 for everything.

I wonder if I would be able to use it on my smart tv?

Or is that what you were implying?

$350 for internet, cell and home lines is still very high.

I believe he's referring to his business, not his home

Lol, my business. Not my house.

I have 12 lines, 4-5 of those 12 are toll free, 2 fax, Internet and 1 processing line. Believe me, there is nothing else out there that is reliable and cheaper. And if you know of some company please let me know.

This is similar to the Movie Box app for iPhone that runs through Cydia on jail broken phones. They run the movies off Russian servers/torrent sites so just be sure you are cool with that type of thing before installing. And of course never download the movies, they often have malware or trackers on them.

What about downloading them to an old phone that doesn't have service anymore? I have an old Galaxy Note I was thinking about getting this app and downloading movies on to it to watch during those boring days at work when I'm stuck at a Substation with nothing to do for ten hours. Would the malware and shit even matter if the phone wasn't an active phone but just being used like an iPod?

Ok I was thinking home and personal. Lol

Its more of the legal issue to be honest. Streaming is a gray area as far as copyright infringement, but when you download something you are basically taking that torrent file and putting it on your phone. Like I said earlier this is a judgment call on your own feelings on this, but I'd stay away from downloading incriminating evidence if Interpol ever gets those server records. People that download torrents use IP Masks and and anonymous VPN's for a reason. The reason streaming is a gray area is the the servers are often overseas (in this case Russia) so you are accessing the content to view. There are some arguments that "technically" streaming IS downloading. I'm just saying use caution. If it seems too good to be true and it is, it may be illegal.

Saw "Unbroken" which was released on Christmas Day. It had to stop for buffering a few times but otherwise a good show. Not bad for "free". Not a bad product. Doubt it lasts for long.

Just to clarify, the internet speeds here in Mexico are not very fast unless you live in Mexico DF. We have a mid tier package and we get 5 down 1 up.

Pretty damn but not sure they can come after you unless you download the movies.

There have been plenty of people taken to court and fined over illegal downloads and multitudes of free movie stream websites that the FBI has shut down and have arrested the website owners.

I am not standing on a high horse or anything, very possible I have visited some of the aforementioned sites...not saying one way or the other I also did NOT inhale or have sexual relations with that woman.

Just know when you use the app or visit the site and watch on PC, it is definitely not legal.

Yeah, pretty much what I am getting at as well. We are kind of in a really strange era where the technology moves faster than laws but downloading the streams to keep on your device definitely falls under Copyright Infringement/Distribution laws that have been around for decades in advance of things like the VCR.

Also just from an entertainment standpoint the "in theater" movies on apps or websites like that... if they are good movies you should really try and experience those in the theater and pay for them, even if its a matinee. If you don't you can't complain when studios have to play it safe with sequels and prequels just to make money when good movies are out there right now losing money to piracy. Sorry I'll get off my soapbox, because I may or may not also inhale.

Doesn't get much easier than tapping on an app.

I haven't had a chance to look at this yet but if its just one application it is way better than xbmc, configuration wise.
