vSeeBox Pro Max Design and Ports
The vSeeBox Pro Max design is familiar, resembling the V2 Pro model. It has a diamond pattern on top with the vSeeBox branding. Here’s a quick rundown of its ports and features:
- Rear: One HDMI port, one optical audio port, one AV port, an Ethernet LAN port, a DC input socket, and an external antenna.
- Side: Two USB 2.0 ports and a microSD card slot.
- Front: An LED power light and an LED display.
- Base: Four rubber feet, cutouts for wall mounting, and ventilation holes.
First Boot and Remote Setup
The first boot process starts with the vSeeBox startup wizard, leading you to its launcher. The included remote is an infrared model. For a better experience, I recommend using the Bluetooth remote. To pair it via Bluetooth, press the OK button and the back button simultaneously to enter pairing mode.
Navigation and Firmware
The launcher supports both direction pad control and an air mouse cursor. The firmware is built on the Android TV version, making the virtual keyboard and other features suitable for direction pad navigation. The high price of the vSeeBox Pro Max is justified by its streaming service rather than its hardware.
vSeeBox Pro Max Streaming Services
The vSeeBox Pro Max does not come preinstalled with live TV or VOD apps. You need to install them yourself. For demonstration, I installed the available streaming apps. Here’s what you get:
- Heat Live App: 1990 live TV channels from the US, Canada, and Latin America.
- Heat Backup App: 2599 HD channels, a few in 4K.
- Elite News: 900 news networks from the US and Canada.

- Platinum TV: 3579 channels.
- Latino Max: 256 channels from Latin America.
In total, you have 10 options for live TV streaming and 11 for video on demand.
