not really - unless someone wrote a google app that gets your local TV stations.everything you run on this has to be Android-aware - maybe something in the google play store...

I think this device will not help you like cable boxes or smart media/dvd player boxes. Unless you find an apps that will connect you to local programs. This device is very similar to a tablet that's missing a screen so you have to connect to a tv. Try looking for an app in google play for tv program player may help. You can subscribe to Hulu Plus, Netflix and such through device and never had any problem with streaming video.

I own this model and the Android MX2 G-Box. For $98.00, The MX2 G-Box performs 400% better and worth the extra expense. The Sanoxy mini tv box plays sketchy video that pauses frequently. XBMC is the free media app you want to run to enjoy streaming TV and movies. It's free but you must download it directly, as it's not available in the Play store. As for local programming, depends on which city is local for you and which networks you are trying to watch. NBC-Universal is very pro-active with policing and shutting down feeds for all it's affiliates.

I really don't know - so far I've only programmed it to receive stations, i.e. those with actual URLs, not feeds for particular programming. Grace Digital seems to monitor these reviews so perhaps they'll chime in with a definitive answer.

Yes. The program you get from their website (free,) has a built in broadcast module. Just set it up, start playing and broadcasting in one go.

You should be able to. Follow the program instructions found on YouTube or the internet.

Yes. When I first turned the TV on it gave me the option of scanning for local stations. I actually didn't use the feature so cannot speak to how well it works but I do know that it is offered.

I believe you can program an individual Web address like a you tube channel but the users would have to manually subscribe, haven't tried this it may be possible

It will work anywhere, you just need to load maps for the local you intend to use it in.

Just go to the local hardware and they will make it for you. It is very easy to program it.

Yes. The device comes with a program that needs to be installed on your computer.

Here is a response I gave to a similar question "As of right now local channels are limited to certain regions. I believe for example that there is a station in Indianapolis that makes some of its prerecord end content available. A company named Skitter TV is starting to get rights to not only show local channels but to broadcast them live. You can go to www.skitter.tv to see if your area is covered. I do believe they are planning on charging a monthly fee for this."

The right way is to hire an authorized dealer to program it for you. The other way is to search A/V forums and find someone willing to share it with you.

No. Your computer may help to set up, but if you are savvy, you can do all programming with the unit.

I cannot. It receives local channels, not channels which would be pay for view on cable. Although I do get excellent HD reception.

The merchant service company you process through should be able to program that remotely. Call their customer services technical department. Hope this helps. :-)

According to the c.crane site: tunein.com will work. It did for me. I wanted to see if my local NPR stations are available and they are.

I bought the unit for my parent in law. They used it to watch TV program from China. I don't know if it can receive local channels. The signals aren't very good.
