New dstv now update on lit box is a fail.

The new dstv app does not log in for me. Anyone else experiencing this? When I open, the new ui shows with a rotating circle as if it's trying to connect, then after a while an error message. Doesn't get to any screen to enter details or anything.

At the 5th attempt I got to enter the pin code - nothing after - 503 or timeout error.
 
Uninstall new app and reinstall again. Sorts out the time out of app and activation code pops up

Restarted box and reinstalled, and now app works, YouTube did not crash on short video. Sleep time, so will check and test further tomorrow afternoon.

5 dashes , lines, strips - enter a digit and it moves 1 place right, might have to click select the first one with your mouse, tho not sure.

Thank you for some reason yesteday I was not getting the back screen much appreciated. The new layout is terrible.
 
DSTV update is utter rubbish!

I just went to play store and used the un-install update option, then log in again. All sorted

Not had much time to play with it, but not sure I like the new layout, but will get used to it, I suppose.
 
Hi I wonder if anyone can tell me if the box supports USB chaining via a powered USB Hub? I Have a few Portable HDD's that I'd like to play off without having to constantly plug in and out. I know that the single port won't be able to power it reliably but will it recognise the different drives if I have a powered hub?

Have not tried it but see no reason why it should not work.
 
New layout for me is faster to navigate than the old one. As soon as I figured how to still choose to show channels per category, eg. sport or documentary, it was all good. Although the old layout was super simple to use.
 
It is not giving me an option to sign in. The screen with the “Enter this code” appears. I cannot do anything else at all. No space to click on the screen or anything? Do I need to sign in using another device like my laptop / iPhone or is there a way I can do it on the LIT box. I don’t currently have a good web explorer on the box either.

You need to use another device. I used a PC and it automatically signs you into the all when you go to the website the dstv now app directs you too and enter the code on the device (PC in my case)
 
I actually used my phone to sign in with no issue

Most users have phone browsers not set to desktop version. When I tried to go to the link via my android phone it took me to a mobile version of the website and didn't get me to the page I needed.
