Quick answer: to set up IPTV on a Formuler box:
- Open MYTVOnline from the Formuler home screen.
- Choose to add a new portal or service.
- Enter the portal URL (with your MAC address activated) or your Xtream Codes login.
- Connect and wait for the channels and TV guide to load.
What you need before you start
- A Formuler box, for example from the Z11 or Z10 range, connected to your TV and the internet.
- The MYTVOnline app, which comes installed on Formuler boxes.
- Your Elitnes details – choose a plan or request a free trial and tell us you have a Formuler, so we send the right login type.
Portal or Xtream Codes – which should you use?
MYTVOnline can connect in two ways. A portal works like a MAG box: we activate your box’s MAC address and you enter a portal URL. An Xtream Codes login uses a server URL, username and password instead. Both give you live TV, films, series and the TV guide; Xtream Codes is handy if you also want to use the same login on other devices. Not sure? Ask us and we will set up whichever suits you.
How to set up IPTV on a Formuler, step by step
Find your MAC address (portal setup only)
The MAC address is on the label under the box, and MYTVOnline shows it on the portal setup screen. Send it to us on WhatsApp and we reply with your portal URL.
Open MYTVOnline and add a service
Open MYTVOnline and choose Add portal or Add new service. The wording varies slightly between MYTVOnline versions.
Enter your Elitnes details
For a portal, type a nickname (for example “Elitnes”) and the portal URL exactly as we sent it. For Xtream Codes, choose that option and enter the server URL, username and password.
Connect and load the guide
Select Connect. MYTVOnline downloads your channel groups and TV guide. Open a group, pick a channel, and use the EPG button to see what’s on next.
Tips for Formuler boxes
- Wire it to your router with an Ethernet cable for the steadiest picture.
- Keep MYTVOnline and the box firmware updated using the update option in the box settings.
- Use favourites groups in MYTVOnline to keep the channels you watch most at the top.
Common Formuler problems and fixes
“Portal not available” or nothing loads
Check the portal URL for typos and that we have activated the right MAC address. Then restart the box and connect again.
Login error with Xtream Codes
Re-enter the username and password with the correct capital letters, and make sure the server URL includes http:// and any port number.
Buffering
Use a wired connection, restart the router and box, and see our IPTV troubleshooting guide.
Formuler FAQ
Is a Formuler box good for IPTV?
Yes. Formuler boxes are built for IPTV, with a dedicated app, a proper remote and an Ethernet port, which makes them a popular choice for live sport.
Can I use other IPTV apps on a Formuler?
Formuler boxes run Android, so many Android TV apps work on them too. See our Android TV guide for those.
What if I replace my Formuler box?
With a portal login, send us the new MAC address. With Xtream Codes, just enter the same login on the new box.
