Telkom LIT Android media box - Tips/Tricks/Apps thread

[techead]

And which one did you use ?

I took the APK from the website, there were too many other APK's floating around that looked dodgy.

hmmm... very interesting indeed. Please confirm you running 7.1.2? Have you done any updates on the box at all?

Yes, 7.1.2. No updates done on the box.

Incorrect, it's Android TV v7.1.2

But why is the interface so crappy compared to the Lit/Mi Box?

Sideloaded the Simfy Africa app but unfortunately it does not auto rotate

@ Ricebowl - think somebody misunderstood your post - you have a MyGica ? MyGica runs on normal Android and has access to the whole of the normal Play Store and is not running on Android TV. Android TV has a depleted Play Store - only apps that are optimised for TV with an easy to use remote experience are to be found in it generally.

@Shazybug - maybe try " Set Orientation " app

... and if you rotate your TV to portrait?

Easiest solution

To the Android TV guys - how do browsers like Puffin TV and Opera TV from the Android TV Play Store work ? Good ? Apparently an easy way to get the Aptoide Store on a Android TV Box.

Cape Gate Telkom Store doesn't have any stock - apparently only had 3 or so units according to staff and awaiting stock - what I was told . Enquired just out of interest while there.

Installed terrarium so far it really looks great.

According to Telkom via their official twitter page, if you got the “new version” (which I am assuming is 7.1.2 ) then Netflix is supported!?!?

Then why are we getting device unsupported errors??

:wtf:

Tygervalley didn't have any either. Dude said they still haven't received the "fixed" boxes. Suggested Somerset West may have stock.

Evening. Has anyone tried the new DSTV now app v 1.40.6 that came out today. Interface is better than on 1.40.5 but there also a dimming effect now.

Sigh! A step backward
