Formuler Z8 4K UHD Android OTT TV Box, Black

If you have quality internet speed and a good provider then go for a formuler z8 if you want to dip your toes in the IPTV & android box world. I've tried a few different devices for my smart TV namely a firestick and another cheap android box. I can tell right now that the Formuler z8 beats them by a fair distance (even at the price listed above).I've highlighted the main aspects of the device below:Mytvonline 2 - If you want a little background on the device, the mytvonline 2 is the most important feature of the device for me. The people who have created the Formuler z8 for an IPTV experience are constantly creating updates to both the application and the device itself for the best possible IPTV experience. The mytvonline 2 app cant be downloaded or accessed from any other device and is exclusive to formuler devices as it is their unique selling point so to speak. The app provides the greatest IPTV experience I have seen to date just add your IPTV service provider portal url and your good to go. The video quality and EPG Tv guide is great as well as the TV recording feature which did take a while to get the hang of.Apps - The z8 comes with both a shortcut to the google playstore and most importantly the market app which has popular apps needed for the z8 like downloader, filelinked, internet speed test etc. You will be able to add your favourite apks like cinema hd (the best with the real debrid feature), cyberflix etc quickly and easily. The one real draw back I found is that while netflix and amazon prime work they are in lower quality like 480p. I work around this by using the cinema hd or cyber flix apk.The remote control - Like any other devices, it will take a while to get use to. The remote that comes with the device is an RCU device which I was able to add the power on/off button to along with the aspect ratio which is all the buttons i really need. The great thing about the z8 remote is you can add hot keys to it within the app itself. It will give you the option of adding program shortcuts like I have a youtube shortcut on the red button which works great.I have used this for over a year, I have watched a range of pay per view events, sporting events, and a host of different series and movies. The price tag listed above and a 10 usd a month IPTV service has definitely been worth it.

Formuler make a quality product. The built-in IPTV interface is excellent. The box is reliable and operates smoothly. Bought it when it first released and it's now a few generations behind but I see no reason to upgrade any time soon.

This box is tiny and I mean really tiny. The power is enormous. It accepts loads of apps such as Netlix, plex, VPN etc. In fact most streaming type apps that a phone will take.Some of the apps downloadable from PlayStore don't work such as PUREVPN but a quick email to Pure and a special app was sent to me and works perfectly.The software is updated regularly although it always comes with a warning that it's up to you and if it doesn't work it cant be rolled back. Mine has always worked perfectly.I don't use it for IPTV at present as its summer but I will again when the winter is upon us.Setting up for IPTV is very easy using the TV app MyTV Online. The IPTV provider provides a very long access code to install and that's it. It just works.The picture quality is excellent. sometimes the picture can break up but that is nothing to do with the box. IPTV signals can be a little bit poor sometimes.

Fantastic little box. Bought this for IPTV after doing a little homework. Obvious first impression is that it's more pricy than other models, you can get a box for a quarter of the cost and a decent box for around ¾. Whether this is worth it depends on the person, to me it is for the quality software, good support and full remote control.Setup is quick and easy, should be up and running in 5 minutes. The main feature of course is the mytvonline app which after trying several others is easily the best out there. The EPG is fast and responsive, features like picture-in-picture and recording are all there. Anyone used to using a Sky / Virgin box will have no trouble figuring it out and feel at home.There are some drawbacks of course. It's on the higher end of the price scale, Netflix is unsupported and unlikely to install and there isn't much of a manual included. Having said that anyone with even a bit of technical skill will have no trouble and there is a good user forum.

After the service provider is contacted, a plan is signed up for, and the box number is given to them, the provider will then send a code which has to enter into your system. Entering the code can be a little tedious as it is very long. I would recommend that you trial the provider before committing to a plan. The Formuler Z8 gives good crystal-clear visuals.There is good online support and there is limited built-in recording capabilities, however with the addition of a USB stick your storage can be huge. You can customize your channel line-up/selection, record live TV, and even schedule recordings for later viewing.However, it's worth noting that while the Formuler Z8 offers an impressive array of features, its price point may be a deterrent for some buyers. If you're on a tight budget, you may want to consider more affordable alternatives. I would recommend this product.
