I've just purchased a GTV Smart TV Box from Deals Direct. It seems to be pretty good so far but the market app preloaded is not much chop. I used the preinstalled browser to go to the Android Market (https://market.android.com/apps) and installed an app. It showed it was downloading and is now shown as "installed" but it doesn't appear on any of the app locations on the TV Box.
I then tried downloading the .apk file from another site (Android Freeware: Best and Free Software for Android mobile platform) and copying it to an sd card. I installed the app from the card onto the TV Box and it appears to have successfully installed, but it always comes up with a force close box without ever opening.
I can't make head or tail of the Android file system but is there a way of copying an app from my Android Tablet to the TV Box via a SD Card or USB stick? Also, how can I install the app that brings up the Android Market - the real one?
