Might as well try fix it this evening, so the Missus, can watch Kyk Net, or what ever is on this evening
 
I had the same issue with the linking while running Pihole. I just whitelisted the URL and it worked since then. For those running Pihole have a look.

Did you contact multichoice? Had a similar situation a couple years back and they sorted it out
 
They are so useless, 1 hour and 30 minutes conversation via live chat and all they ended up saying is I will escalate it to IT, it’s been working fine for almost a year so wtf now?

Did you do an update on the Lit box?
 
Here's a question for the techies and boffs regarding the LIT.

I know that Netflix and Amazon stream use Dolby Digital Plus for 5.1 audio. I bring this up as I remember when I used my Roku's, both Netflix and Amazon used DD+ audio and my Yamaha AVR would indicate it to me.

Now though, I am running the LIT into my Samsung TV and then into the LG sound bar. My sound bar does not support DD+ and only DD, so something must be doing the conversion from DD+ to DD.

So, the LIT is converting the DD+ audio into DD and then the DD gets passed along with the video stream instead of the DD+ stream to the TV.

OR....

My Samsung TV has an optical output which obviously can't support DD+ so maybe the tv is converting the stream when "surround sound" is the audio, I have options in settings to output PCM, DD or DD+. If I select DD, I get audio (Dolby Audio) on soundbar. If I select DD+, no audio on soundbar as it doesn't support DD+.

Unfortunately I have no way to check exactly the DD stream is being outputted from the LIT. Samsung TV shows nothing about the audio (probably because it passes it through to soundbar) and LG soundbar just says Dolby Audio.

Is anybody here able to check the actual Dolby audio stream format coming from the LIT?
