THE QUICK ANSWER

Get started

Identify your device and use its manufacturer’s update instructions. The Google TV system-update steps below apply only to Google TV. NVIDIA’s SHIELD development resources are a separately labelled example, not downloads for an EBOX device.

IPVANISH · AFFILIATE PARTNER

Change your IP location. Set up IPVanish.

Add IPVanish to your viewing setup to choose your connection location and encrypt traffic to its servers. Install it on a supported device, then open your streaming app separately.

Choose a country in IPVanish, connect, then open your streaming app. The service sees the VPN server’s IP location instead of your usual one. That can help you access location-dependent services where your subscription and the provider’s rules allow it, while encrypting traffic between your device and the VPN server.

How to set up IPVanish for streaming
  1. Check your viewing option. Choose the broadcaster and plan for your event or title from the viewing options above.
  2. Install and sign in. Choose your IPVanish plan, then install the IPVanish app from your device’s app store and sign in. Our Android TV setup guide explains the steps for compatible TV boxes.
  3. Choose a location and connect. Select a server in the country you want to connect through. Wait until IPVanish confirms the connection.
  4. Open your streaming app. Sign in to the broadcaster separately and open the event or title. Your VPN subscription does not include a TV subscription, sports pass or pay-per-view purchase.

EntertainmentBox editorial cover: Android TV firmware support: find the correct model-specific update
Original editorial cover illustration. EntertainmentBox

Find out exactly which box you own

A model name is the starting point for a firmware request. Before looking for an update, record the model printed on the box, the Android version and the current build shown in its settings. Menu names differ between devices.

Keep the model information beside the instructions you find. A download for NVIDIA SHIELD or another named product is not presented here as an EBOX firmware replacement. If the instructions do not identify your hardware, check with its manufacturer before continuing.

  1. Record the product label, operating-system version and current build.
  2. Find the update or recovery documentation for that exact model.
  3. Keep a copy of any files you need before making system changes.

Google TV: use the built-in update check

For a device running Google TV, Google documents a system update check. This is a Google TV menu sequence; older Android boxes may use different menus.

  1. From the Google TV home screen, open Settings and select System.
  2. Choose About, then System update and Check for update.
  3. Install available updates using the on-screen instructions.

NVIDIA SHIELD: use its dedicated recovery resources

NVIDIA publishes recovery images for SHIELD users who want to return to the stock NVIDIA operating system. Its official resource page, linked below, explains where to find the downloads and device-specific instructions.

Treat this as a route for SHIELD owners. It does not establish that a SHIELD image will work on an EntertainmentBox device. We are not hosting replacement EBOX firmware files here.

Add IPVanish once your supported box is ready

If your aim is a VPN connection, start with the VPN app’s supported-device instructions. IPVanish’s Android guide describes installing its app, signing in and choosing a server location. Its connection encryption and location choice are the relevant benefits; the VPN does not replace an operating-system update.

Check that the app supports your box before choosing a plan. Once connected, open your streaming app separately and check the service’s account and VPN rules. Use the IPVanish offer and setup instructions below to take that next step.

  1. Open the official IPVanish Android setup guide and check the requirements for your device.
  2. On a supported device, download the app from Google Play and sign in.
  3. Choose your server location and select Connect.
