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

Are you saying you can download stuff onto the box?

My understanding is that it's all streaming

It's an android device, with an 8gig storage, you'll be able to download to it.

Please give instructions how to achieve this.

I don't have the device, though I'd guess googling how to download to an android device might work?

The same way it works on your android phone for most part of it. I'm even running a torrent app on my LIT box and it downloads just fine to the box and sd card.

Firstly, you start by buying a UNIX self-help guide.
Take a year or two, to master the command line.......
Then, only, do you download your first LINUX distro, and start playing with it.

At this point you might hear a whisper of Android being Linux based.
Unfortunately for you, it is all GUI, and all your years of prep does not help.

Now you can pre-heat the oven to 225C, and give it a few minutes.

O wait, no, wrong instructions.
What was the question again?

It works, how well I have not tested, my one is wired, drops connection once a week or so, just pull the network plug and put it back again, and all is well again.

Works well on both my LIT boxes. One 4m from router and the other 7m and two walls.

A07, A11 and A12 have 5Ghz. If WiFi is a concern, just make 100% sure it's not A06

 

[RedhotNeo]

You're both right - 2,4Ghz - sorry

Yes mine does.. but sometimes my box reverts to korean/chineese language.. abit annoying.. tried turning off that HDMI CEC feature but my lit box does it own thing

Anybody got any update on remotely accessing and controlling the box? (i want to kick of some downloads)

I used to use teamviewer for my pc - but i notice you cannot take control of the box, you can only see whats displayed?

I also tried teamviewer.. the select button doesnt work so you cant excute stuff..

going to try other remote access applications. will give feedback which works best.. teamviewer would be easiest if it worked well
