Got a trial yesterday.Is ok on the IPad. Installed the Android player on my Himedia android box. Can login, see the channels, program list but if I play I get a black screen. Tried different channels but to no avail.

Make sure you have the correct plugin - app for the video.

Make sure any other media player is closed before opening the Thai Expat TV app.

There are no other programs and player open.

I can hear the sound though. Where do I get such a plugin? I assumed installing the expattv would do the job. I also installed an update.

its possible not compatible with your version of android. did you delete and reinstall? try that

They've always been good at replying to me, so I would send them an email asking what other apps need to be installed and see if you can try another version of their app (they have 6 or 7 the last time I played with it). The flavour of Android may make a difference too.

We all assume you've rebooted you device before trying...

I called Rob and he said that perhaps the box is not compatible. He sent me a link to the web player and that works fine on my Xbox Edge browser. The Windows app is by far more powerful (buffer, search) so I went to the dreaded way of attaching my tv to an HDMI. Use a mini wireless keyboard device to control the app.

Btw compared to Ilikehd, Thaiexpat is a much better solution. Better connectivity, TV guide, search etc.

^ You can get a new STB for not very much. The best ones seem to be the Minix boxes.
