Digicel TV Box Hot Spot

sinnas · Postby **sinnas** » August 14th, 2018, 7:08 pm

Can anyone say how to activate internet from the Digicel TV Android box? You can use it as a hot spot for the Digicel TV app but without internet. I asked the technician and he confirmed it can be done but couldn't tell me how. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Press home button on remote, go to settings, go to first option "network settings", go down to wireless hotspot and select it, then press the left or right direction button on the remote to enable the settings.

Set your network name and password to suit, then go down to the ok button on the screen and select it, that's it

Check the speed, I got about 10% of my prescribed speed. Digicel confirmed that while it has the capability the speed is greatly reduced. Ended up buying a wifi router.

Thanks guys. I actually did this already but I don't get internet only the Digicel TV app shows. They did change the box on Monday so I'll try it again and see if I get internet now.

Digicel has an android box? How does that work?

It's the usual TV boxes but they're actually android boxes that they configured. You can't download apps etc.

Okay so I tried it again and with the new box they installed I have internet. Before I was getting Connected, No Internet. The speed is also 16.50Mbps which was tested from my cell and I'm okay with.

But they forced an update, If you confirm the update, they remove the capability, so right now, i can only program customers' boxes who have had their service cut a few months ago or before

Well I only just got mine a few months ago. But I had 2 android boxes from before so not bothering to tamper with the people thing. I'm sure there's still a way but for me I don't think it worth the risk if they find out and a fee involved for tampering.
