They've got TV in Cambodia
but real life is more comic, more tragic, and much much more dramatic.
And you can believe the news you see - unlike on the TV

If you are spending time in Cambodia watching then why bother coming? Stay at home and save on the flight

So that when I connect the TV to my WiFi, it's always connected to my vpn provider with an American IP so that I can watch more of the Netflix catalog.
why do u need a vpn?
I use my android box, cabled directly to modem
Watch Mobdro for news/ old tv shows,nat geo, TCN, etc
and use Exodux Reux for new tv shows, up to date movies

I am concerned that the speeds in Kep wont be fast enough for steady viewing.


All you tv haters. What do do at night? Cant hit the bars, ( something i never do) all the time. :beer3:

Watch almost every channel available to human-kind. All you need is a stable WiFi signal or a bloody decent 4G data package. Buy a TV that you can Cast to, and you're toastie!!!
Have installed both these apps and neither works. Redbox just gives me a "Please stand by we are experiencing technical difficulties" screen on every channel. And Live NetTV plays silly animated games then says it can't play the selected stream.

It just seems weird to fly half way round the world and then sit in watching home tv. Its like when the football competitions are on. people fly off on hoiday then stay up all night watching soccer, then sleep all day. What was the point? cheaper beer maybe? BTW depending on what you want to watch you may need a VPN because certain content is only available in certain places so your stream may be blocked if you do not trick the provider into thinking you are in Europe or the states or wherever they are based. Netflix shows different conetent in differen zones
and local censorship can mess up movies
