Thanks Urie

That has probably saved me some time and effort

Urie

Thanks for clearing up the VPN question , i will attempt to deal with that at some point .

i suppose the thing is i will need to ask the supplier of the APK if they have one suitable for my Gigablue box ?

so the APK file came from a friend of a friend for me to put on my Gigablue UHD ,which i would have to also put VPN on , but as i have now found out via this forum the APK is android based and cant be loaded on to my Giga (Linux) box so i guess it must be for a Firestick , so i will have to find a similar file but for my giga box as i would like to use all the features provided .

hope that makes sense

Thanks Urie

But the tiny url file is for something else , and i would also have to add my VPN sub as well

Hi Master G

i was given a tiny url

it downloads a file .. which i wanted to install on my Gigablue box .. but the file is an APK file which i think might be for a F/Stick

Downloaded Via my PC

Thanks Urie

i just re downloaded the file ( Tinyurl link) and its comes as an APK

Thanks Master G

Is there a way to convert it ?

Hi Abu ,

Thanks

Good Evening Guys

2 main goals insight here

1 load an APK file onto my receiver ( can this be done ?)

2 load my NordVPN program .

anyway progress at least that i can connect to box , any help with the above greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance

Evening everyone ,

i wonder if someone could clear up the question .

If i have a Sat receiver that is fitted with FBC tuners is it possible to just fit a normal LNB via motor back to the tuner ? will this work as normal any issues with doing this ?

Thanks in advance :fingers crossed:

Thanks again for the quick reply , In your opinion is the one Gig mem a limiting factor ? and is there no way to expand it ? Cheers

Thanks Master G

The FBC tuners are not Deal breakers , i will have a look at your suggestions ..

So do you not recommend the SF8008 ?

Cheers

Evening

There seems to be a very good choice .. so not sure what to buy .. .. My priorities are 4K UHD, Tuner versatility Sat + DVB T , PVR , K*di style add ons and FBC .. so looking for recommendations and experiences with what is currently on the market .. Budget up to around £250 .

Thanks in advance:thumbup:

Just to Add .. i am airing towards the Octagon SF8008 .
