I assume they could be sideloaded onto the boxes?

Device-wise, a combination of Amazon and a Now TV box probably gives you the most catch-up services for your bucks. With Now TV covering the UK PSBs, Now TV and Sky Store. And Amazon covering Prime, Netflix, Mubi and Curzon. (I appreciate that Amazon has iPlayer, Demand 5 and STVPlayer.)

Sideload appotide you can get all tv apps regardless of region from there.
To sideload find the app via google, download apk file to your computer, copy the apk file to a usb, pop usb stick into android tv, ensure install from unknown source is enabled and you should be able to install apps that way.
Heres the link for apotide http://m.aptoide.com/

A Channel once rumoured to be coming to VM now definitely won't be coming.

Pop Girl closed today and was replaced by Kix +1.

Do we have Kix on VM? Has the timeshift variant appeared today?

Can't check as my equipment is faulty.

Isn't this just another reality channel showing programmes that have been shown before?

If so, I shan't be losing much sleep over this!

Just did a search on the laptop and its showing as avalable in iPlayer - correct title is: EastEnders: Back to Ours, try searching for that.

Hi Vince did a search and it's on the red button channel 991 at 20:25 this evening.

Edit: and 6.00am tomorrow morning (3rd)

Hope this helps.

Many thanks, will have to give this a go out of curiousity at some stage. But it's not a regional issue that prevents apps like All4 being on Android boxes, it's the fact that they're not in Play Store in the first place. Or does this allow apps written for mobile phones to be used on Android boxes?

It has it's own app store which has the apps needed such as all4 etc although all4 is in the google play store so if it's a android box you have you should be able to get it via google play.
Firetv uses Amazons own version of android which all4 isn't on at the moment this is where apotide will come into it's own however i still haven't been able to get all4 working on firetv, it did work on my old mxq android tv box though.
