Ok, I finally got the juice on this RedBoxTV apk. They make it near impossible to do that update they display on their splash page. But I finally got cornfigured out.
I could find nowhere on the net for a v2.5 apk download. So, what I did was copied this https://www.redboxtv.to/apk/redboxtv_v2.5.apk to my laptop. This downloaded a file to my compute. I then sent the file to my device and used X-plore’s app installer to install.
I tried to install the update over the existing app I had already installed. This failed, so I uninstalled the previous app and then proceeded to install the v2.5 from scratch. This succeeded!
Now here comes the head scratcher for me. As I was watching Fox News on the v2.5 RedBoxTV. I had forgotten I turned off my vpn. When I activated my Express VPN it once again failed to load. I decided to change locations. I tried about 4 in the US, a couple in UK, one each in Germany, Canada, and Mexico, all failed.
I was about to give up and call it a day and uninstall this apk. Then I remebered I still have an active SS vpn. So I disabled Express and enabled SS. Did a quick connect on SS and lo and behold it worked! Decided to try several different servers and even a server in a location where I used Express, and it it worked in all locations.
I will be contacting Express regarding this issue because there is NO WAY I would ever even consider using the RedBoxTV apk without using a vpn.
Now, tbh, I am not certain if all my installing issues weren’t related to my Express VPN being on.
Anyway, above is the download file for the v2.5 and it is working for me so far.
For those that experience issues trying to load programs. Consider changing servers or even VPN subs. I plan on checking if the free Proton VPN will work.
EDIT! Beware and take caution. This apk displays 27 issues found by Virus Total. Proceed with caution and at your own risk!
