Is there a way to have the DSTV Now apk app added to the Mibox home screen?
I can only access it via the Side Launcher app.

I was actually looking into this yesterday myself, this works well.

Also got setup with the same application and it works great!

Is that using the Telkom media player?

Nope it's on my MiBox

That looks very neat and tidy I have to say.

Is that their default launcher? It's the same as the Nvidia Shield I think?

May I ask how did you install chrome? Each time I try to side-load it, it fails.

Yep all is default bud, just removed some of the system pe-installed stuff that I would never use other than that I haven't played around with a single setting.

Mmm nothing beyond the standard way of installing, I downloaded the latest APK from the net and dumped it into my OneDrive. Then I use ES File Explorer to connect to my OneDrive and install from there, prefer that method then I eliminate the whole find a USB and copy process...

Damn, mine kept failing.

I just found this out:
Signed into google play store from my laptop and then chose my MiBox as the device to install chrome.

Wouldn't this have put your icon back on the homescreen:

EDIT: Does your sideloaded chrome icon show up automatically on your homescreen?

So nobody used a hard drive on a MiBox to play videos or for some other reason?

Jip I do. What do u want to. Ive got a terrabyte hard drive hooked up to my Mi Box. Works 100%

The latest version automatically changes interface for android tv

It's still not available on the play store though

 

[Yuu]

If what that other poster said about the Telkom LIT box availability, expect the app to be live closer or on the 20th September. Not too long of a wait unless someone shares the apk from the Telkom box .

It's still not available on the play store though

A friend of mine, bought a MXQ Pro from BoB. He has an error when trying to play something inside the DSTV Now app. "Device is rooted".
Is there a way to get by that? We tried a few Hide my root apps from the play store, with no success.

It's been mentioned like 10 posts back just downgrade the app and try another version of the APK.

I've installed a Root Hide app on my MyGica, and now DSTV Now works.

Thanks, missed that, sorry. Any idea on what version of the APK I'm looking for?
