CyberFlix TV: Review & Guide
★★★
[Movies, TV Shows, Other Originals]
[Updated 2022-02-12] CyberFlix TV is a completely free and ad-free app for streaming movies, TV shows, and other originals from free sources on the Internet. It has an intuitive user interface suitable for TV, but its source collection may be relatively limited.
CyberFlix TV is one of the most recognizable clones of Terrarium TV, so its intuitive user interface is similar to other clones such as NovaTV and BeeTV. It’s completely ad-free, which is rare among free streaming apps. However, compared to other top-tier apps, CyberFlix TV has a rather limited collection of source links. So it’s only good as a backup app.
Pros
- Absolutely no ads.
- Can resume playing from where you left off last time.
- The voice search function works well with the remote control buttons.
- Supports subtitles from multiple subtitle sites.
Cons
- Limited stream sources.
- Can’t change stream during playback.
- Can’t use the arrow buttons on the remote control to rewind/fast-forward.
- No automatic viewing history.
- No downloading feature.
Details
Limited Source Collection
Compared to NovaTV and Cinema HD, CyberFlix TV’s stream source collection is relatively limited, especially for less popular shows. But for newly-released movies and popular TV shows, there should be plenty of good stream sources available.
Movie Database
CyberFlix TV is fully integrated with The Movie Database project (TMDb). It shows detailed and useful information on every movie and TV show title (such as description, rating, and nice posters).
Downloads
Regrettably, CyberFlix TV does not provide an option for downloading a stream to a local file for later viewing. It is an important feature, especially for slow sources with lots of buffering. We hope that the feature will be implemented in the future.
Playback Features
Cyberflix TV supports some of the useful features during playback:
- It can resume playing from where you left off last time.
- You can manually add a video title to your list of favorites, but there isn’t an automatic viewing history.
What it really lacks is the capability of letting you pick a different stream during playback. And it doesn’t allow you to use the LEFT
/RIGHT
buttons on the remote control directly to rewind or fast-forward. So you must use the on-screen rewind and fast-forward buttons.
Voice Search
CyberFlix TV fully supports voice search. If you have an air mouse with a microphone, you can input your search phrase by talking to it and let the speech recognition engine in Android turn your spoken words into text.
TV-Friendly User Interface
CyberFlix TV has a well-designed TV-friendly user interface that works well with the remote control.
Subtitles
CyberFlix TV fully supports subtitles. In addition to the most popular subtitle site opensubtitles.org, it can also download subtitle files from subscene.com and three other sites.
Third-Party Integration
CyberFlix TV supports two external video player apps MX Player and VLC. It also supports online accounts with Trakt.tv and Real-Debrid, but not AllDebrid or Premiumize. The free Trakt.tv service is really handy for tracking your viewing progress and history. And the paid service Real-Debrid will provide you with additional high-quality premium stream sources with very little buffering.
Absolutely No Ads
CyberFlix TV is completely ad-free, which is the most amazing thing about this app.
VPN Recommended
Due to the dubious copyright status of the free Internet video sources, it’s recommended that you protect your own privacy by setting up VPN protection on your TV box first.
Install & Setup
The CyberFlix TV app (com.cybermedia.cyberflx) is not available from Google Play Store. But it can be found from various sources on the Internet.
If you have further questions regarding this app, please contact us. We will be glad to help you out.
Once installed, the app is pretty much good to go. If you have an existing Trakt.tv account, you may want to enter it under Settings. It will bring back all your viewing history and the list of shows you are currently watching.
If you experience performance issues with CyberFlix TV on an older TV box, you may consider upgrading to one of our latest TV box models. We have tested the app thoroughly and it runs smoothly on all our boxes. For example, our TX3 Smart TV box has high-quality and high-performance hardware, enhanced with a customized version of the SlimBOX firmware. It is very fast and reliable, and yet very competitively priced. The 4+32G model is only $65.
Useful Tips
- You can press and hold the
OK
button on the remote control to quickly play the displayed video title, instead of navigating to the on-screen play button. - CyberFlix TV has occasional updates, and you will need to keep the app up to date. Otherwise, you will experience a declining number of quality stream sources.
