@techead you have been a star with giving updates on this device.
my suggestion start a new thread and copy from the guide what you feel you need and provide the updates.

We then ask a mod to lock this thread and final post in thread to be a link to your new Thread and guide.
hell i will even update my post to link to your thread. :)

here?
 
What is the AV port at the back ?
What fits in it ?

can we please add to the guide that until such time as LIT supports Netflix officially, the sound comes through as STEREO if you have your AVR selected to auto.

I have noticed however, that if you manually select the correct sound (DTS, DD, etc) then it DOES actually work... WEIRD!!! :wtf:

Maybe it is unable to determine what your AVR's capabilities are, so it defaults to stereo?

It's a Netflix software issue, I've read on a number of forums now. I have a well supported receiver, and the Box passes audio through just fine using Kodi.

the issue is with the Netflix app (non supported)
 
/slipping in/

Can MyBB possibly reach out to somebody @Telkom that is involved in the setup/distr of the LIT Box, and try and get some official involvement in our endeavor here to actually assist current and potential buyers.

Would like to hear about timelines for "actual" official app releases and whtnot.

MyBB is a tech website they should be reaching out to companies when they release products, find out when products will be launched in the country, do reviews, the only thing MyBB does is show us tech news
 
Hi there

I have the exact issue Netflix on my box as well (note that mine wasn't even pre-installed). Did some research and found that the issue lies with netflix and their app not able to play on certain Android devices. How true this I am not sure, but I have also tried some other methods from the internet which also didn't work.

How were you able to load DSTV Now and though which side apps, if any? I can't seem to find the app on the play store

As for the rest, no issues with Showmax, Youtube and some other apps.

Thanks

Has anyone been able to get the lit box recently added to their telkom landline account? I went to Telkom in Century City and they said HQ only added the devices to be bought on contract.
 
What a load of hogwash. You cannot even watch previews of movies. There is sound but no picture. Netflix shows an error 13. Doesn't even work. Just before you leave the store you are told there is no warrantee/guarantee on the LIT_. When you walk out the telkom store's door your on your own. Please don't waste your money. Over the air updates doesn't even work.
 
Of course there is a warranty on it. And ota updates will work when there is an update available.

Whew. So much wrong in this post ...

Where did you buy your LIT box from exactly? I'm guessing you have the name of the person that told you this?

How do you know OTA updates don't work?

When you say you can't watch previews - where exactly? Plex? Kodi? Google? Showmax?

It's a certified box by Google which requires 3 major OS OTA updates in order to be certified.

There's no such thing as no warranty, the CPA states that every item sold must come with a minimum of 6 months warranty
