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

[AfricanTech]

Fortunately I have an old ATV3 that the parents can use for Netflix - Litbox will then be used for DSTV now and YouTube.

The pity is that it adds another device into the mix for old people to navigate (they're both 85)

Just side load or use modded app

Mine is still working fine on A11 LitBox. It is also still showing up in the Play store when I search for it.

FFS. Both of mine give me this today



Hopefully this will be at the collection point tomorrow.

Netflix stopped working for me at midnight. Is there any work around to get it working again?

Yes - Buy an Ematic TV box like I did.

Anyways....

Hey kids, you like telkom lit boxes?
Well guess who will be auctioning 3 of them on the crazy Wednesday BidOrBuy auctions next week.
That's right, all 3 must go, bids start at R1 with no reserve.
Keep an eye out for that next week.

What did you expect from Telkom, they always screw you in the end
Grabbed two rebranded Mecool KM9 Pro at Mustek, works like a charm

Well got a good few years out of it, maybe 2-3. So kinda time to upgrade anyway.

Same here, says there's no internet connection which is bollocks.

Looks nice, but I don't want to be stuck in this situation again. Therefor I only trust Xiaomi and Ematic. Since Xiaomi does not have ethernet connectivity, and I received excellent support from Nology it was an easy choice for me to make.

Have Ematic & the two KM9 Pro now
Telkom LiT will try out some custom firmware, if not work out I'll flog it

I wonder if MyBB could perhaps do an insightful article on why this has happened, now that the guy that stole the biscuit money and fled to the USA is not so newsworthy anymore.

That would be great @rpm

Buy another box that has no connection to Telkom

Care to PM where to find a modded app?

I have tried to several versions and none are working

Abandon ware

Same here. Pls share.

Agreed, about as useful as any cheap Android box.

Allow me to clear something up.

The embedded serial numbers of the LIT units are blacklisted by Netflix. No matter what Netflix app you use their servers will reject any connection attempt.
