And it may be true because it seems like my Tvpad1's green man is gone.
Tvpad4 still working
Thanks.
Because of TVPad 1,2,3 hardware cannot support our upgrade, due to that reason we can no longer support the regular usage. Because of this we will create a pop up suggesting users to upgrade to TVPad 4
The window will say:
Dear user: TVPad will upgrade the backend system, because of the hardware requirement of this upgrade your TVPad cannot support it. Your device will be shutdown on 2016, Jan, 1st. To ensure the normal operations, we recommend you to upgrade to TVpad. You can enter your old MAC address on our official site to get a discount on TVPad4.
The window will pop up starting at Dec, 21, to match up with our upgrade promotion.
Due to this, please be prepare. If you have any questions, please contact me.

I'm surprised tvpad 1 lasted this long.
A) A few weeks ago somebody reported TVPad reached an agreement with DISH. However no confirmation from neither party.
+
Our domain was taken down + TVPad started shutting down their service for Legacy TVPads
=
TVPad is giving a percentage of each sales of TVPad 4 to Dish/Korean company. Which is why they are also forcing TVPad 3 users to upgrade.
Anyway. Lets collaborate our efforts on here.

I purchased TVPAD 4 in September and only got to use it for 1 month and everything then went down here. If TVPAD want to exist in this planet,
they better get their act together and sent out instructions on how to make All their apps working for their customers!
Alternatively, does anyone know other (free or paid) options to watch Cantonese TVB? My Dad specifically likes the 12-hour delayed TVB app, and would be interested in a service that can provide that.

You can try out SlingTV. They currently have a promotion for $99 + FREE ROKU 2.
SlingTV
I would personally wait awhile before purchasing anything from TVPad company. You never know what might happen. Don't want to throw away $200. I might write up a tutorial for another device I use.
The timing just too good plus by this time we all know T1,T2-T3 and T4 runs differently not because of the apps alone. I guess when the same trick play too many times people notice.
I do concern how long this time T4 is going to last... My T3 was not even on too long before all these things happening.

TVpad never keeps its promise. If the hardware works and people don't mind the resolution, they should keep providing service. Just like you still can use a 1st generation iPhone to make calls if you don't need any fancy features.
Not to mention they never settle in any lawsuit. I strongly believe they just want more money before they run away.
Beware and try to see other alternative is available.
I recently brought a UNBLOCK that works great with tons of LIVE stream channels that also have 7 days of play back APPs, I know Padman bought one too.
For the price only $126 (that I paid for) you might get it cheaper if you buy it from HK or China.
No need to rush into buying it when you aren't gonna get it for a few weeks(holiday shipping)
