DStv streaming a mess after app update

Let us know if this works.. my elderly mom is using a MiBox as well and she's been bitching about it not working. I'm in the UK so gonna have to guide her over the phone. Ain't gonna be fun :D
No option to uninstall updates on my MiBox.

Apparently sideloading 2.3.19 works (and turn of auto updates).
 
got hold of DSTV this morning, clueless. They will get back to me when issue is resolved.
 
Just tried reporting it to them myself. They asking me to test on other devices...
 
Ok I've just side loaded 2.3.18 (old menu FTW) working perfectly
2.3.19 works for me. I believe anything below 2.4.x should work and have the old GUI. The old GUI is so much snappier. No more black screen on my mi box.
Wonder if there is a way to downgrade the app on my LG TV. No black screens but the GUI is just extremely slow. Pita to use.

Question now is, how long will these older versions work for?
 
Hi. Also same issue for me. I downloaded the 2.3.19 apk. How do you install it and turn off auto updates?
 
I dont think it will last.. Once you change chanells you'll probaly get the black screen again.. I got happy this afternoon for nothing:(
Grumbles. What a dog show. The second that somewhere offers Premier League content on par with Supersport, I'm out (in their defence, IF you get their useless app to work, their coverage of English Premier League footy is unrivalled, even in England)
 
Side loading v2.3.19 did the trick. After installing on both Mibox and Ematic box, have had no issues so far.
 
Having a hard time sideloading for some reason. What Browser or method do y’all use to download it on Android Tv? I tried Puffin but it’s giving me an error.
