EVPAD PRO TV Box review - A great Asian TV Box for a low price

EVPAD PRO TV Box review - A great Asian TV Box for a low price

I have bought the EVPAD PRO TV box more than a year ago for my parents and it is still working great. EVPAD PRO is a small black TV BOX that has the following specifications: 4 CPU cores and 4 GPU cores. It also has 2GB RAM memory and 16GB eMMC flash memory. There is also WIFI 2.4G/5G and Bluetooth 4.0 built-in. On the back of the EVPAD PRO TV Box, you can find an Ethernet port and there is also 2 USB ports on the side. You can also put a microSD card (max 32GB) to increase the internal memory. EVPAD PRO TV box is based on Android version is 4.4.2. You can also install Android apps on this TV box, but I have never tried it.





In the retail BOX you can find the following items: EVPAD PRO TV Box, remote control, power adapter and HDMI cable. Normally, you have to download all the streaming apps yourself in the EVPAD store, but that is very easy.

EVPAD PRO Chinese TV apps

There are two livestream apps where you can watch TV channels from Hong Kong and China. These apps are ETV PRO and Easy TV app.

ETV PRO has mainly TV channels from Hong Kong (such as TVB, ViuTV), Taiwan and China. There are more than 200 TV channels in this app (currently 205). You can also find some foreign TV channels dedicated to the Asian market (such as CNN, Fox or HBO) in this app.
My experience with the livestream TV channels in this app is very good. The quality of the livestream channels is decent and it is stable (fluent) most of the times.

The Easy TV app has TV channels from all of Asia (Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Vietnam). Just like the ETV PRO app, the quality of the livestream channels is decent and normally quite stable (fluent).

I don't see much difference in quality compared with the TV channels in the ETV PRO app. They are more and less the same. If one Chinese TV channel is not working in 1 app, there is a chance that the same TV channel will work in the other app, so I guess they use different sources.

EVPAD PRO Video on demand apps

PlaybackPRO app is mostly a video on demand app for the Cantonese TV channels from Hong Kong (TVB, ViuTV). You can watch all the TV programs from the past 7 days. Most of the times, it is working great. You can fast forward using the remote control to skip the commercials. The quality of the TV programs is quite good.

EVOD HD is also a video on demand app. In this video on demand app, you can watch movies, TV drama's and variety shows from different countries (China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, USA, Japan and South Korea).

The foreign TV drama's and variety shows can be seen with Chinese subtitles or sometimes it is dubbed in Cantonese. The Chinese TV drama's and variety shows are usually updated quite fast with the latest episodes. However, the foreign TV content are not updated quite fast. I guess it depends on whether there are Chinese subtitles available.

EVPAD PRO Japan livetv app

In this TV app, you can watch the popular TV channels from Japan (such as NHK, TBS, Asahi, BS, WOWOW, Jsports, and more).
The quality of these TV channels is decent and it is again fluent most of the times. At this moment, there are 47 TV channels you can choose from.

EVPAD PRO Korea TV app

In this TV app, you can watch the popular TV channels from South Korea (such as KBS ,SBS, MBC, OGN, Mnet, JTBC and TVN).
The quality of these TV channels is basically the same compared to the other live TV apps. It is decent enough to watch. It is again fluent/stable most of the times. At this moment, there are 36 TV channels you can choose from.


All in all, EVPAD PRO TV box is a great TV Box if you would like to watch TV content from Asia. The quality of the TV channels is quite good and the price is also not that expensive. I have paid around 100 US Dollar for the EVPAD PRO during promotion period.
