Formuler Z8 New TV

[ohappy2]

Hello, I just bought a new LG NanoCell AI TV for Christmas, plugged in the Formuler Z8 and says no signal. I changed HDMI ports, changed cables, used a cable from a device that is working and one suggestion was to unplug power, plug back in, hold down the resolution button on my remote for 5 seconds to auto adjust resolution. None of these worked.

Anyone have any suggestions? Keep in mind that the Formuler Z8 does not show up on my tv so I cannot use a menu on it. It recognizes when I plug in the box to my tv

Just got a new Formuler Z8. Entered new MAC code into https://papiao.is/main/search_nfps. Setup MyTV Online2 to the same URL.... but keep getting a Error Code: 7. Any ideas? Seems new MAC code did not go through the system in the back-end. Reconnected Old Box and it still functions fine.

Formuler and Dreamlink

I see people with this MAC issue often.
The thing is that the service wants the MAC of the IPTV application that the device is using to connect to the service and not the actual device's MAC
The IPTV application would be the DOL application and it's MAC will always starts with 00:1a:79
If you noticed that the device's MAC and the IPTV (DOL) MAC have the same last 6 digits, but the first 6 are different. The first six is what tells the server to recognize the MAC. It will not recognize the device's MAC since it does not begin with 00:1a:79 ... nor does the device itself connect to the service, the DOL does.

The dreamlink T3 models have taken the IPTV MAC ID and placed it in the server setup menu itself and no longer shows with the device's MAC as it did at one time.

Just set up my formuler z8 pro last night and it works flawlessly. Except for the EPG. Is there away to get a more consistent EPG? should i try a different portal?
thanks guys

I had to change the time to 5 hours out. I'm in Ontario, Canada Eastern time. While in Mytv Online, go to Menu on your remote, Connections, pick your service, edit it, EPG Offset and I did +5, EPG Mode UTC

I never used a Formuler, but the Z8 and the Dreamlink T3 both use MOL2 to connect and the T3 works just fine.

Hello Everyone! I just ordered the Formuler Z8 pro. Upgrading from a Mag 322 W1. I Had issues with my mag with it skipping in some channels and just not very reliable. Do you guys know if the formuler z8 pro works well with this IPTV service? Thanks!

What worked for me:
A manual reset: Unplugged power, keep pushing the red button (not the record button and don't hold it down), 2. plug the power back in and keep tapping the red button until the light on the front starts flickering from green to red. 3. push the #1 button, the unit will reset and supposedly the setup screen was supposed to appear. I guess I got lucky because my unit didn't erase my settings, everything was still there and worked....

Thank you all for your help!

Happy New Year!

Can you plug the Z8 into another tv that gets a picture for you? So you can get into the menu of the Z8 on that tv and maybe check/change resolution settings there, and plug back into the new LG you got?

I will try that... I wasn't sure if there was something I needed to do but wondered if that was the reason
