Yes, it works perfectly. I've been using it with mines since I got them, no issues.

Ok so I subscribed to Real Debrid and this app (Torentium) works quite well.
On my phone I d/l (share) the torrent link file (.torrent file) straight to my Google drive. On the Litbox I click on this file in Xplor (which gives access to your cloud drives) and it opens in Torentium and starts streaming the video. (Apparently Real Debrid sends you a converted stream of the torrent so you are not connecting to the torrent itself). Runs smoothly and able to pause, fwd and use subtitles. It certainly beats having to d/l torrents for content (Mandalorian!) I want to watch.

The LIT has always been Google Certified - so there has never been an issue with DSTV Now.
There was an issue with Netflix Certification at the start - but it was certified by Netflix over a year back. Now you get the Android TV interface, along with UHD and HDR Where the content supports it

Correct, without using APKs like mentioned by @Dolby
Once the box is on the latest firmware, which a new device bought now will be, Netflix is already installed on the Telkom Lit. Not sure about the Xiaomi but I suspect the same is true for it. When the netflix certification was done, it was added to the box as already installed, so you only need to install updates from the play store.

Just buy the Ematic, widely available and newer OS, in my mind it's the LIT replacement.

The one comes with a 32GB SD card, that's the only difference.
Calling it a ROM upgrade nogal.
If it was me, I'd buy the one for R1299, and buy my own SD card, because that looks like the only difference to me

Thats if you even need the SD card. I dont use an SD card, any thing that needs to be stored, is stored on a NAS device.

Rather buy the SD card separately if you think you are going to need additional space. That card is overpriced at R291 and you can also find faster Class U3 cards such as this one:
