SuperBox S8 Plus is the S8 generation Android streaming box built for the whole family. It carries the three breakthrough S8 upgrades (Multi View/PiP, Built in Recording, upgraded streaming system) in a 4GB RAM / 64GB storage build, wrapped in the signature ocean blue metal case.

• WiFi 6, 1000Mbps Ethernet
• 7 day Time Shift on live TV
• 7 day Play Back on live TV
• Voice command remote

Key Features

The S8 Plus brings three brand new upgrades over the previous generation, on top of the everyday features that make streaming easy for the whole family. Here’s what each one actually does day to day.

Multi View & Picture in Picture (PiP), new for the S8 generation

Watch multiple things at once: keep your main content on screen while tracking another channel in a corner window (PiP), or split the screen to view channels in parallel. On S8 Plus, PiP covers around 250+ channels (PPV + ESPN tier), not the full channel lineup, that’s reserved for Max and Ultra.

It’s built for the way people actually watch TV now, flipping between a game and the news, or checking a second match without losing the one already on screen. Setup takes one click from the remote, no extra app or account needed. For a household that shares one TV, this alone can end most of the “can we switch the channel” arguments.

Built in Recording, new for the S8 generation

Record whatever’s playing directly on the device, live TV, VOD, or any moment, and watch it back later with no external recording device needed. Recordings are saved locally on the box (plug in your USB), so there’s no separate DVR box, cloud subscription, or extra hardware to buy. It works the same way whether it’s a live game, a show that airs at an inconvenient time, or a one off event like a PPV fight. Once saved, recordings sit alongside the rest of the library and can be replayed anytime, not just within the usual 7 day playback window.

Upgraded Streaming System, new for the S8 generation

A rebuilt streaming engine for smoother, more stable playback: no lag, no buffering, no app kickouts on movies, shows, and live sports. Channel switching and app loading are noticeably snappier as a result. For anyone who’s dealt with a box freezing mid game or dropping out of an app during a big moment, this is the upgrade that fixes it at the source rather than papering over it.

New UI

The interface, menus, and icons all got a visual upgrade, and the whole box just feels easier to use as a result. It’s a cleaner, darker layout with clearer text and simpler icons, so nothing feels cluttered or hard to read from across the room.

7 Day Time Shift

Pause, rewind, and fast forward live TV, going back up to 7 days on 200+ channels. Missed the start of a show or want to catch a replay of a play from earlier in a game, just pause and scrub through the timeline like it’s on demand content. Combined with Built in Recording, it means almost nothing on live TV is missed.

Voice Command

Speak to open an app, switch channels, or search for a movie/show, completely hands free. It’s especially useful for older family members or anyone who just doesn’t want to deal with menus.

Parental Control

Restrict content and manage what kids can watch with password. Restrictions can be set at the channel level, so certain content stays off limits without locking down the whole app.

4K Playback

Sharp, detailed picture on a compatible HDR TV, with manual resolution control to match your internet speed.

Buyer insight: The real reason to upgrade from an older generation box isn’t the hardware, it’s these three software upgrades. For sports fans specifically, PiP is the standout: they can watch the main game while tracking scores elsewhere, and the ~250+ channel PiP tier on Plus already covers most sports/PPV use cases without needing to pay for the Max.
