The Droid TV thread

PITV

A search on this site (My Broadband) for www.pitv.co.za shows up this Droid TV thread, but no actual direct reference to pitv, stated as SA's Leading IPTV Service Provider. (Yes the site is pitv and not iptv).
Has anyone used this subscription service and do you have any good or bad comments?

I have this strange thing happening with Showmax on my Mi Box where it only shows the first ten episodes in the first season of a series, even where there are more episodes and seasons available. Is it something to do with the remote not being able to scroll properly or is it something with the app?

Plug a mouse in as well. I use that for scrolling.

Will give it a shot, thanks.

Edit: No luck. Plugged in a USB wireless mouse but there was no difference from the controller. Still can only see the first season and only ten episodes in that season.

Might still be recoverable using Amlogic USB Burning tool, a male to male USB cable, and an Amlogic firmware image file.

Problem is that once recovered to the Amlogic image, you need to modify the stock firmware to load over the image you restored. Mygica don't supply a .img file that flashes using this tool, so you need to use a generic S802 image.

When the S802 image is loaded, the MyGica will think it's a different box and will prevent the MyGica update from installing. The way around it is to remove the hardware check on the MyGica firmware file, re-sign it and flash the normal way

If you manage to recover to an S802 firmware, try find a MyGica custom ROM that has the hardware check removed

Instructions if you want to give it a bash

(1) Download Amlogic USB Burning tool -> https://www.mediafire.com/?1cm8zz4b88e2f3y
(2) Tronsmart image file for S802 Amlogic device -> https://mega.nz/#!eQxygBba!p6u6Rr12eC6_Ruy5igQmcGcFCudD68QGGzpKFcuiwSM
(3) HowTo use USB Burntool -> https://www.entertainmentbox.com/how-to-use-the-amlogic-usb-burning-tool/
(4) USB male to male cable -> https://avsupply.co.za/product_info.php/usb-cables-usb-male-male-p-642

Good luck!

Thank you appreciate it. Will give it a go and see whay happens.

Anyone watching SA Sport on their Android box? We were given one and trying to see if there is an add on or something. I currently stream super rugby to the TV using chromecast, just wondering if these boxes cater for Super rugby and who's using what.

I'm actually getting insane with the pointer and keyboard of the MyGica remote, does anybody know of either:

1) a proper compact keyboard with trackpad that doesn't cost an arm and a leg and connects to a MyGica; or

2) By default, an Android AND an iOS (gf and me) app that allows your phone to be used as a remote.

OK I have ditched Dstv ages ago. Use batmanstream for Rugger on PC. Was wanting non Dstv options if anyone is using. Apologies should have made that clearer.

 

[CrenulateInk98]

Got mine from Aliexpress. Cost me $66 (list minus $3 coupon for using the app) plus VAT when it arrived here. Took almost 2 months to arrive via std post.

It is the 2gb version, link is wrong for some reason...
