Yes, all these boxes use apps for live, VOD, and replay tv. With nearly all budget models, you get what ya pay for when it comes to the amount of channels/movies available on the apps. These are good entry level units to "get your feet wet". If price isnt a big concern, then go with the vSeeBox Elite, Superbox Elite Pro, or the Tanggula Elite Max2 because their apps have over 1500 live channels and around 12K movies available.
