Can overseas users operate domestic TV boxes? What exactly does the so-called "overseas version" mean? Let me explain this to everyone.
First off, we need to understand that the issue isn't purely technical—it's more about copyright and bandwidth limitations. Online audiovisual resources are protected by copyright laws. Most broadcasting platforms only purchase domestic copyrights and don’t acquire overseas rights, which means they cannot provide services to users outside the country. This has nothing to do with whether the TV box itself can function overseas. Instead, it’s about how much content is accessible. Let’s take the Xiaomi box as an example:
1. Overseas users cannot register for the enhanced version of the Xiaomi Box 3.
2. Other models of Xiaomi boxes can be registered, but there are significant restrictions on apps and content (even the enhanced version has these limitations):
- Mainstream video apps like Youku, Sohu, and PPTV are not available to overseas users, even if you purchase a membership.
- Xiaomi's own resources allow you to watch Tencent Video, but a large portion of the content is unavailable, including all American dramas, Korean dramas, foreign animations, popular domestic movies, TV series, variety shows, most documentaries, etc.
- Live broadcasts can be watched, but due to network issues, the quality often suffers from varying degrees of lagging or pixelation.
- Third-party software like TV cats can play content, but these apps rely on external resources, which are increasingly being restricted by major video providers like Youku, Sohu, and PPTV. Thus, the range of content you can access remains quite limited and will likely decrease over time.
In summary, while technically it's possible to use a TV box overseas, more than half of the content remains inaccessible. Unlocking these restrictions might require additional tools like C+ routers or other advanced technologies.
