Mojoman Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 I had no issues with Netflix and Nord but Showmax picks it up straight away....unless someone has a trick I have missed?
awesme Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 so, once i have VPN... What then, how do I subscribe to IT4 as it seems they very quickly state not available outside UK, and only in UK through one of their partners. who does everyone subscribe to/how. G
Baldrick Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 I either need to kidnap an 8 year old to help or ask for assistance here.Netflix has stopped working on our TV. I get an Error NW-2-4 which means network connectivity issues and have gone though all the troubleshooting steps. I can still browse the internet via the TV so it's not a networking error. I have tried to reload the app but still no luck. What next?

Native smart TV apps stop working because their software are generally not updated alongside the apps run on it. Once an app needs to update down the line it might not be compatible with the current operating system. Google's media players at least provide updates for their systems. Baldrick and Rocket-Boy 2
NateChat Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 They come preloaded with the netflix app. Bonus is there are other apps that one can also load which gives tons of content. Baldrick 1
Duane_Bosch Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Are these things easy to setup?It's pretty much a tablet but you use the TV as the screen. Load apps from the playstore or you can skollie load apps from the internet. Most will come with some stuff like the M-Net app pre loaded and pretty much all will have netflix pre loaded. I even run Rouvy on mine. Well. not anymore but I can.
stefmeister Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Are these things easy to setup?Basically plug n play. Just connect to your network and sign in with your google account and you should be able to use all the preloaded app straight away.
Slowbee Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Are these things easy to setup?It really is plug and play. The only tricky part is figuring out the remote to hook up the wifi.

Just make sure that is you get a google certified unit, and it comes with google play store. otherwise you are going to go through endless issues. netflix wont play etc, Are these things easy to setup?connect, switch on,m log in, play They come preloaded with the netflix app. Bonus is there are other apps that one can also load which gives tons of content.so much choices, Rocket-Boy and Grebel 2

NateChat Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 I've had service with the Xiami mi. Only draw back is there's no ethernet port but you can get an adapter if that's a deal breaker. The new one also has 4k, haven't tested it yet though.
bertusras Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 I've been a longstanding fan of Google Chromecast, but I recently bought a Xiaomi Mi TV Stick off Takealot for the living room, and it is so much easier to use. Granted, my home is pretty well connected with media servers and things, but the ease of use by remote is fantastic. And you can use Chromecast as well, win-win. Unfortunately it's out of stock, but at R899 it's a definite winner. Rocket-Boy 1
cadenceblur Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 I would get the box instead though as it has more functionality
Baldrick Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Thanks for the advise. Order place with Takealot for the Xiaomi Box.
