There is no better place to watch the movies and tv shows than Showbox. But if you are a regular user of Showbox then you might have observed that it stopped working. There was a huge drama for Showbox last December. To know more keep reading.
Everything started in the November End When user of Showbox found out that the app was not serving any content, everybody including me thought it was a bug or a glitch. But this issue continued for more than a week.
Then there was a tweet from a user of Showbox posted that he has learned from the developers that the app has been shutdown. All the users were devastated. Then after 2 or 3 days Users started claiming that the Showbox is up again and was functional only for few hours, this behaviour happened few times.
Along with The official website of the Showbox started promoted the below which summarises that the use of this application is illigal and the movie studios are monitoring the IP addresses of the users who are watching licensed content and can sue them.
On 4th December Showbox posted in twitter that all the services are started working again with the new update of Showbox but you have to download it from third party website.
On 7th December they have tweeted stating that the application is still under the legal Issues.
Is Showbox Still DOwn?
To summerise everything Showbox service is working through the update which you need to download from the third party and they are facing Legal issues, I would say try to avoid using Showbox for some time since it has been closely monitored by the lots of Movie Studios to sue the users as well as Showbox developers. You can always watch from licensed streaming applications like Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO, etc. But if you still wanted to use the Showbox then you can use it with the new Showbox 5.24 update at your own risk.

Can’t get Showbox to run even with VPN? It starts up but won’t play anything?

Loved Showbox and I hope they find a way of getting around the problem of the movie industry. I’m not going to download the app just now because of the third-party issues I hope Showbox return’s soon rather than later.

I loved Showbox, when it was shut down I was devastated. I am a movie addict since I was a kid. So I found Newest movies HD and if I’m not mistaking they have shut them down also, yesterday on my day off I tried to watch a movie with no luck, just keep on buffering, for 8hrs, I hope it’s just a glitch. I came back to see if show box was up and I read to stay away from show box due to it being monitored by the movie industry and we all could be sued, wtf man! Give the working stiff a break.

How do I install on android and have my IP blocked so it’s not tracked?

You can use many VPN services on Android. Some are free some you pay. Look up VPN and make a choice, free are limited and will have trouble streaming. Also look at watching Showbox at 360p in the settings to get less lag and buffer, it’s not 1080p but on a small screen, 360p is fine. VPNs will hide your IP but not always. I have used VPNs to watch Netflix while overseas and to watch Canadian or European Netflix in the US it worked ok for my 7in tablet.

I really MISS my Showbox! I was devastated to hear this news. And still am. Is there any sites available that compare to Showbox out there? Legal to use besides the popular ones? Please come back Showbox!!!

I was wondering why Showbox had stopped working as I’m a regular user. I will try to re-download via the third party and hopefully might be lucky. I’m quite sad about this.

I liked it as never asked for my bank details & felt safe as many would. I really hope you work your problem out. But it doesn’t stop me using Netflix. If there was a way you didn’t need to provide my bank details I’d be happy to pay. Even my internet is through the Post Office again no bank details. You hear too many horror stories of being hacked.
