Question of the Day: Google Maps vs Waze vs Apple Maps vs physical paper maps?
I tried 1.30, but it gave me a loading error.

I have a feeling that it's not the side loading, but rather that the APKs are for not Android TV. I can't think of one offhand - but try sideload an Android TV app ?
DD/DTS worked fine on mine ; I had an issue with TrueHD
I've mentioned this to the 'powers that be' and hopefully it'll be fixed.

I side loaded Nord VPN successfully and was running Kodi with it connected to a USA server.
Don’t see why you can’t do the same for Netflix?
I’m not on Telkom ISP, using Vox although I am using a Telkom ADSL line

Check your lan cable ? Maybe it's a faulty or cross over which is not compatible ?

Is anyone else having issues with the side-loaded Netflix? (Downloaded from Netflix version 4.16.200147)
It opens fine, and plays fine (aside from the stereo only annoyance) but when an episode of what you watching finishes it doesn’t go to the next one... the app crashes. And if you try and skip manually then it crashes too!!
Constantly have to relaunch which is getting annoying

I want to buy a lit box today. Read through the forum stupid question but why do you have to sideload the apps if google play is available

My understanding is that android and android tv are different although they run on the same core system.
So essentially you running a version of an app made for a phone/tab on your LIT box which is android tv not android which you would find on the phone/tab
Unless I’m way off here??

Honestly not sure, I’m still new to this and getting to grips with alles
I have a Mibox and got the Netflix app from the Store. DSTV Now is sideloaded.

If you search for Netflix on the LIT box there are no results
No official support, let’s hope it comes soon though
Not sure why or what’s going on. Box was meant to launch with Netflix and DSTV now official support but clearly something went wrong along the way on Telkom side... ???
i tested the same LAN cable that my , Apple TV4 , RPi , and amp are working on and no go ...

then it HAS to be a faulty unit. I would take it back and get it swapped out
