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

cpu. said:
With the Lit you would have a better chance to expand storage space to allow downloading, but the answer remain the same as in the Xiaomi Mi Box thread.

Is there any way to use an apk version of the app that allows downloads ?
 
Are there no online stores that sell this device, do I have to go in store?
Guessing I should phone first to check if they have stock?

Checking stock before you go is a good idea.

Netflix now works perfectly. 4K etc etc.
And yes sideloading still works but hardly a use to sideload anything nowadays.

Does it work on all the LIT boxes, or maybe just the newer models?
Thinking of picking up one for a friend
 
If there is one thing about the Litbox I love over the MiBox, is the ability to use an SD card as device internal storage.

Hi Everyone. I have recently started using the Telkom Lit Box. Does anyone know how to enable downloads for movies or series on DSTV now. On the tablet, it allows you to download a show and watch later. I would like to be able to do the same on the LIT box due to the inconsistent bandwidth in my area.

Add SD card, then go to settings, storage, and change it to use the SD card as internal storage..
 
I picked up a LIT for a friend a few days back. We set it up yesterday and noticed Netflix will only stream up to 1080p @ 4300kbps when we checked on the Netflix test patterns, it even takes forever to get to 4300kbps both on wifi or ethernet, his TV's netflix streams 4k just fine.

A speed test on his internet returns:
Ping: 13ms
Down: 78.89Mbps
Up: 23.74Mbps

Funny thing youtube streams perfectly in 4k but Netflix won't. Any one experienced this?

Is he on the Netflix Premium plan?

Yeah, we share an account.
I think there maybe be something on Netflix's side, noticed my Mi box can't reach 4k lately. Goes back and forth between 1080p and 2k

I'd usually say that the issue is a non-HDMI 2.0 port on the TV ... but I do find it odd that YouTube is definitely UHD ?
You're 100% sure about the YouTube?

I've seen it often that a TV will have 2 x HDMI 1.4 and 2 x HDMI 2.0 - and it's plugged into an HDMI 1.4
Also, with some Samsungs, you also need to set the UHD ports.

100% the LIT box will stream youtube 2160p with no issue, I think he's tv has 4 HDMI ports, soundbar is on the HDMI 2 arc, LIT box is on HDMI 1, surely those are HDMI 2.0? Another thing is the TV does notify that the LIT box is sending a 2160p 60hz signal. Very puzzled.

Sounds like you bought a second hand model!? New ones sold ship with Android 8. Ask @Nology to assist perhaps.
 
Its a older model but was not used. Many people have complaints about boxes bricking with update but no concrete information regarding fix except take it to Nology...

Pull out the power at the wall. Wait 2 minutes then try to reboot the box.
