It has no PVR function, most of the Live TV programs that u can watch at our hours are mostly variety and news programs at HK time.

With that said, the Video on Demand programming is not bad. MyPad is the only media box that can fetch TVB programming, and it can be shut down anytime as they are getting their feed illegally.

I know this cause I thought about getting this box but decided not to.
OP already mention he doesn't even have a clue what TVB is.
What he needs is just an Android TV box / usb drive that could be easily fetch for $40-100 locally or online. It will be enough for his parents to watch most Mainland shows.
