hi.. i would suggest you that, android box is not at all good. you will face so many problems. like switching to tv channels is not at all user friendly. you will get tired switching to tv channels. and even though you will have a good internet connection, but still you willl face distraction. while watching any channel on it. so dont even think to buy. its only good for youtube

The technology behind is basically IPTV. The difference is how you want the same to be delivered to you (App based(android/ios), Player based (VLC, KODI,Plex), Hardware based(IPTV Box) etc.). The availability of channels differ from provider to provider and even the resolution (size and clarity) of channels are not uniform. There are only few legally available IPTV providers for indian channels and they have subscriptions and geo restrictions. Rest all others setup servers and stream the content from Dishtv/Airtel/SUN NXT etc. which is illegal. Coming back to your original query, from the statement, it is clear that the provider is illegally operating the setup. Few pros and cons of such are listed below. Pros 1. Free 2. Most of Indian channels available
Cons 1. Illegally operated 2.Cannot guarantee the service (how long it will run) 3.Resolution of picture not uniform throughout the channels. Some are full screen, some only small box sized. 4.Needs to load the M3U file (Locally called as file) if server changes. Requires technician. 5. Clarity can be terrible sometimes even you have a good bandwidth because the streaming server is overloaded or bandwidth is peak at server end.
One of the best hardware candidate for such operation is Amazon fire stick which can work with app based setup or Player based setup. If you wish to try before you buy; you can use VLC player on PC and load M3U files and check the availability of channels and clarity.

Thanks Toni and Yousef., now I think dish tv is a better option to avoid all the hassle.
