    link to foxtel now in store:
    if not compatible with your device (guessing this is the case and why is not showing for you)

    apk 1.7.2

    I've read there can be issues with Foxtel now only displaying in portrait mode on Android so you may need to dig deeper see:

    Interesting you ask these questions.

    It is a Toshiba 1TB (DTB310?) Now that I have turned it over I note it states 5V DC 1.0A so therein lies the problem. The M8S probably complies with USB port only delivering 0.5A.

    Mine arrived today - also branded telebee.

    Now the "fun" starts. How do I set up a fake google account? Everything is fine until I am asked for my telephone number so that they can send "verification" to complete the login. There is a snowball's chance in hell they are going to get that!

    EDIT: Is there any way to side load a browser, say, without going the play store way?

    I have never given a phone number for any online account.
    I thought the phone number was optional?

    Have fun with new boxes guys

    Nope, I have dozens of Google accounts...
    And have signed into dozens of Android boxes.
    Never given a phone number as clearly, not everyone has a phone number ;-)

    It's an option, not a requirement

    Sorry to disagree but on my box there is no option other than to enter a phone number "To prove I am not a robot."

    new tivimate update 1.9 brings a voice search function to the app.

    Makes it super easy to find programs if you have alot of channels on your list

    this is last 1 i bought

    bought heaps for other ppl to run movies from hdd
    the remotes suck, really only using to run popcorn tv for tv shows
    still rather dl to a dedicated player with hdd in it, saves frustration.

    This.

    Google "make Google account without phone number". Do it on a PC or laptop, not the box.

    Having said that, they have had my phone number for a long time and the only contact was text only for a verification on something (that I set). Having said that, I use a few (paid) Google services, not throwaway accounts.

    But as ol'boy has suggested, it doesnt seem to actually be a requirement and a Google search (including results from Google's actual forums) states its not required.

    Does ABC Iview work correctly on these boxes?

    Correct size layout
    Correct navigation using the remote control

    Yes! It came out of beta a few months ago and is now fully Android TV compliant. Voice search, home screen integration and very easy remote navigation. One of the best Aussie catch-up apps out there now!

    In the app itself, press and hold select button to bring up menu (either in TV Guide or during playback) and a new Search option is there. Sounds like you're trying to search using the Google Assistant outside of the app. It mustn't be recognised yet if all you're getting is YT links.
