Guys, you don't need to hack or root the new HyppTV STB Huawei EC6108V8 as you can just sideload Android TV compatible APK files saved into a USB flash key/drive to be accessed via USB port available on the EC6108V8 unit. Somehow, my unit seems to allow me to install from unknown sources. The only thing you need to install from the Google Play Store to perform APK sideloading is a file manager (I use the lightweight IO File Manager from OpenIntents) to install the APK files (double-click on the APK file to perform install). I've managed to install the following sideloaded apps obtained from APKMirror or APKPure: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sideloading

Latest Google Play Service for Android/Android TV 9.2.56
com.google.android.gms_9.2.56_(032-124593566)-9256032_minAPI9(armeabi-v7a)(160dpi)_apkmirror.com.apk

Latest Youtube for Android TV 1.3.11
com.google.android.youtube.tv_1.3.11-10311100_minAPI17(armeabi)(nodpi).apk

iflix 2.1.17.1 (it is not Android TV compatible so you have to figure out how to navigate/highlight items in iflix by using the HyppTV remote)
iflix_v2.1.17.1_apkpure.com.apk

You need to consider what apps are compatible with Android TV device like EC6108V8:
* You must try to search apps for "Android TV", not just "Android". The difference is obvious: Android TV doesn't support touch interface, it supports remote-control navigation and it is meant for 10-foot user interface design
* You shall only install apps that support ARM Cortex-A9 32-bit ABI architecture used in Hi3719C-V100 chipset of this device (armeabi or armeabi-v7a) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_Cortex-A9
* You can safely install apps with 160dpi or nodpi screen density support as it matches EC6108V8's 160dpi screen density support. Otherwise, you will face a weird layout such as inconsistent fonts or buttons; https://developer.android.com/guide/practic...ns_support.html
* You can safely install any Android TV or Android apps for Android Kitkat (>=4.4.2 or >= API 19) or above but below Android Lollipop (<5.0 or <API 21). At least it mentions MinSDKVersion (API) >=9 it will be fine https://source.android.com/source/build-numbers.html
* Be careful not to download Android or Android TV apps from dubious APK file repository sources on Internet to avoid malware and virus. APKMirror is considered a trusted third-party APK file repository site.
* Don't call TM Unifi or Google for support if you have any problem with sideloaded APKs; you are totally on your own risk and responsibility.

EC6108V8 does not have Google Cast Receiver feature, so you cannot "Google Cast" from your Android phone or Chrome browser's Google Cast extension from your desktop PC to your HyppTV STB. This STB also doesn't have Miracast support.

Clearing up confusion between Google Cast (Chromecast), Miracast and DLNA

Google Cast is not Miracast
Google Cast is not DLNA
DLNA is not Miracast

The obvious confusion between Google Cast and Miracast is because of the familiar term "screen mirroring" is used. Both technology mirror the screen of your phone/desktop/laptop device to your TV over a wireless connectivity (WIFI; WIFI-Direct for Miracast) but unlike Miracast, Google Cast can do more that just a screen mirroring; it can also do an app casting in the background while you are performing other task in the foreground.

For Google Cast to work it needs a sender and a receiver. The receiver is called Google Cast Receiver and it is a background service and it requires a screen display. Google Cast Receiver is only available on official Android TV platform. The sender is any Android app that has Google Cast SDK sender functions. Such apps are Google Cast app, Netflix, iflix.

Chromecast and Chromecast 2 are Google Cast hardware devices that runs Google Cast Receiver service.

There was a third-party solution to allow screen mirroring receiving support on unofficial Android TV STB like EC6108V8 called Cheapcast. However the app is no longer supported http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/04/28/de...-bring-it-back/

Please read the link below and see whether it helps but please skip the factory reset part since it will reset all the HyppTV/TM settings done on your EC6108V8 device:

I am surprised with what TM Unifi is telling you that they have blocked Google Play Store and Youtube. I am still suspecting your device is not properly configured rather than the problem on the Google Play server since I can access Google Play and Youtube for Android TV (the latest one, not the one comes as stock with the device.)

Maybe try to configure your device to connect over WIFI in DHCP mode.
