I am in NYC using this TVPAD for my parents. Does this flash get around all the live stream and VOD problems that came up recently?
After the flash, do I need a VPN (currently not using VPN). TVPAD connected using AUTO DNS.
What should the settings be after flashing?
What are the advantages of flashing the old firmware? will current apps work and or will it be wiped and i need to reinstall?
Thanks in advance!
1) Once you downgrade you should be able to use the Cantonese app by changing the DNS. You won't need to use yuetv
2) I'm not quite sure about the vpn requirement at 5.054, based on what other people shared. You may not need it ? Not sure
3) All apps will be wiped. No particular advantage other than you won't get the restricted message.
If your work right now, I wouldn't suggest downgrading it.
Thank you!
Many thanks! You are my hero! I entered manual DNS = 158.132.187.187 and YueTV VOD works! We love you. You have saved our evening.
Here's the error message i get after it tries in install
E::faileg to seek in /tmp/updatePD.zip (Invalid argument)
E:signature verification failed
Instalaltion aborted.
I am not willing to tear open the machine to access the circuit board. Can anyone tell me where the reset button is on the TVPad4?
