I've set my dns to google and my ubtv is leading to a webpage (applicationoverview.com) instead of the tv listing.
Is there some setting I can change?
I'm using Gen 2 ub.
Thanks in advance

For new UB Box Pro 7th Gen, we need to run the DNS Changer then UB Live can work properly?

The option for Static IP settings, if we input 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 as DNS server address, the systems will prompt invalid DNS address entered and not allowed to save the configuration.
Is this new policy for the box?

Hi,

My Ubox gen 7 suddenly is not working since yesterday. whatever I press, it will just show me a screen with Add Apps.
even clicking on any settings will just show me the add App screen.

anyone got any idea what is wrong? I tried power off and on and it is still the same.

Hi, can I check if YouTube is working anymore? My device states the latest YouTube is not compatible with my box already, and can only run with the latest version. Checked for updates for the box but it is the latest version. Means no more YouTube?

I assume you're using Unblock TV box.

You didn't say what model of Unblock TV box you've and which version of Android it is running.

So can't advise -- whether can or cannot solve your "latest YouTube is not compatible with my box" problem.

One solution is simply to watch Youtube using alternative apps -- instead of (trying to solve problems) on the official Youtube app.

Personally, I often watch Youtube using alternative apps instead of the official app.

Yes, you'll be surprised that besides the official Youtube app -- there are many other alternative apps that also allow you to watch Youtube.

Some alternative Youtube apps you can try are:

(1) Smart Youtube TV: https://smartyoutubetv.github.io/

Latest stable version:
https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartYouTubeTV/releases/download/stable/smartyoutubetv_latest.apk

This app requires Crosswalk Project Runtime to be installed:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.xwalk.core&hl=en_SG

(2) NewPipe: https://newpipe.schabi.org/

Download NewPipe on F-Droid Web site:
https://f-droid.org/packages/org.schabi.newpipe/

(3) Youtube Vanced: https://vanced.app/

See also: https://www.xda-developers.com/youtube-vanced-features/

(4) SkyTube (or SkyTube Extra): https://skytube-app.com/

(There are more YouTube alternative apps than the above -- too many to list here)

Different YouTube alternative apps have different features -- just try more of them to know your preference.

Just note that:
Alternative Youtube apps are just like any other apps -- and may have regular updates. So you may need to manually download & update the alternative Youtube app(s) as & when required.

If your Unblock TV box is running Android older than Lollipop (Android 5) -- some Youtube alternatives may not work well.

Last but not least, you can also try to use an old YouTube TV version (1.0.5.6):
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube-for-google-tv/youtube-google-tv-1-0-5-6-release/

Of course you can use Youtube alternative apps on any Android TV box, not just on Unblock TV box.

You can also install Youtube alternative apps on any smart TV running Android, e.g. Xiaomi smart TV, Sony smart TV etc.

Some Youtube alternative apps can even be used on your Android phone or tablet !!
(Yes, besides the official Youtube app, I've at least 1 Youtube alternative app on my phone :))

Hope the above helps.
