The Droid TV thread

I see 1.40.8 (Dstv Now) has been released. Anyone tested it yet?

I thought the other guy was mistaken when he said he loaded 1.40.8. Will try it when I get back to my place.
1.40.6 was freezing when I tried watching live tv.

tested on LIT box, dimmed when full-screen

How do you guys sideload the DStv now app on the miBox..?

 

[mercenary]

https://apkpure.com/dstv-now/com.dstvmobile.android

download that APK, put it on a USB and install using a file browser ....


or install chrome on the mibox and then browse to https://apkpure.com/dstv-now/com.dstvmobile.android and install (keyboard required)

you can use this to make shortcuts on the home screen; https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wsmlby.tvlaunchergenerator

Hi.
I don't know if this is the correct forum to post on. I have a MXQ box which has been running perfectly for over a year. This morning I tried to go onto Netflix and it's says I have no internet connection. I have tried all the online suggestions, time and date, factory reset, switching the router on and of disconnecting the wireless link and still nothing. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Might be an intermittent issue , stuff happens sometimes

Clear cache, uninstall Netflix, reinstall?

360 pages in this thread and I have to ask...

What is the BEST Android TV box that we can currently get locally?

I'm talking support for Showmax, Netflix, Plex, Kodi, Terrarium TV. Anything extra is an added bonus.

You asked for the best without a price point. That's the best device there is

Xiaomi Mi Box 4K Android 6.0 Media Player

The only real issue with the LIT box from what I can see is the Netflix app and they are working on it, I still think it's a good device it was just launched prematurely.

If you want the Mi Box, TVME are the guys to use. They are R100 cheaper than Cyber Range, they offer 1 year warranty as opposed to six months from Cyber Range and they offer free delivery. Oh, and they are local. Got myself one from them and the service was excellent.

I couldn't remember the name and I've only heard of one other person that bought from them while I've heard of multiple people buying from Cyber Range, TVME might be just as good and safe to buy from but Cyber Range has a physical store.

What do you do in a year when TVME doesn't exist anymore?

Does DSTV Now NOT have the dimming issue on any device? Because it dimms on any and every device i have including my FireTV, Fire Stick even my Nexus player - Google's native AndroidTV box! I want to get the Mi Box but it just seems like DSTV Now doesn't work properly on any Android box.

Why even have an app if it's broken on everything? Unless it's on purpose
