Sinotec 49' smart+ tv playstore setup

Please could you tell me where you downloaded the dstv now apk from. The one I used on my sinotec opens to a blank screen.

Had a chat with the guys over at sinotec and the tv does not support Google play services so any Google owned product won't work. They are trying to resolve this but for now if you know a way to froce it to work you can try

Apk mirror might have it but not sure. I just kodi for all my needs
 
Hi Rohela, sitting with the same issue you had, could you walk me through how you side loaded kodi on your sinotec? Would appreciate you help immensely! Thanks
 
Thanks for the advice, interesting as the TV allowed me to download the apk but would not install it?

Will try from the flash tomorrow thanks!
 
Hi All

I recently purchased the Sinotec 55" STL-55E200AM Model. I was not really looking for a Smart TV but I wanted a 55" and as I have the latest Apple TV with the App Store that fits my needs. Being curious I wondered why there was no Google Playstore even though it has Android 4.4 (looks like they need Google Services which is not supported on this TV set?)

Through my discoveries, yes you can side load Netflix, VidAngle, Showmax, DSTV, etc... but it was limited and cumbersome... So Side load https://apkpure.com/ and then you will have a full alternative App Store on you TV with updates and new App releases. Enjoy

Hi Atomic Beetle.

I just joined this form as I was fed up with watching Showmax via my laptop and VGA cable on my Sinotec Smart TV Mod: STL-43E390. Tried many APK versions of showmax but does not work, I manage to open the app and can choose the movie or series but as soon as I play it I receive a message saying "Your Device Seems To Be Rooted. Playback Error Has Been Disabled" Visit http://www.showmax.com/help/android..... Will you be able to help
 
Hi FranWilder

I have just tested the Showmax app and yes there is an error once you press play on a movie or TV series after login. Netflix, Amazon video, etc... services work.

I think Multichoice has limits to Southern Africa for DSTV and Showmax due to Licensing agreements. Therefore any rooted devices like Sinotec TV's are excluded.

The TV is upgradable through Firmware via USB. I Just Hope that Sinotec SA (http://www.sinoprima.co.za/) ( 011 357 3777) get a deal with Google and get Google Services and PlayStore working on this expensive TV...
 
Hi Atomic Beetle.

Thank you for the help and reply.
I sure hope they do something soon.
 
You guys could try following the same instructions on how to install Google Play store on an Amazon Fire HD tablet (Google it). There are actually four different Google apks required to get everything working.
 
The latest Sinotech 49" Smart TV's have google installed, so you can install Playstore and all other Google apps
 
I play youtube music via my google browser, but haw do I get the music to continue to play the next video ?
Sinotec STL-49E3001M
