    Hello..
    I have a few friends in the US millitary and they have a legal right to access the AFN tv services...
    In March of this year, I believe they are cutting the Service Via Satellite in Europe and will only be available online or On Base cable service!

    I can find the AFN Now app in Google play store... But it says Not available for the formuler boxes..

    I have written to AFN and get a rude answer saying "Use a box that works"...

    But I would like to know, who is resonsible for the compatibillity of Apps and devices ?

    Is there something Formuler could do to acheive this app on the Z 10 /11 and 12 series ?


    Or does someone have an AFN NOW APK that they will share?


    Thanks in advance

    I think the apps are made for AndroidTV. And maby that's a problem cause on the Formuler boxes are running on Android aosp. (Only Formuler gtv runs on AndroidTV and is google certified)

    I will test it today my friend on my Z12.


    Can so due android aosp, or not google certified and or due app itselfs.

    Netflix can't also be installed from google playstore. (Only on z12) But it won' work. reason is netflix didn't give Formuler boxes a license.


    So it can be anything.


    Goodday my friend.

    It's build for Android 6 and higher.

    I can install the self created apk file from the original xapknfile.

    I can start app but i see only circle turning. And with vpn connected to usa.

    Maby you got more luck my friend.


    Edit: works not with (some) vpn's says website!


    Goodday my friend. Good weekend.

    The compatibility depends on AFN App, their HP should show exactly which devices are supported and the needed criteria.

    Formuler can nothing do in such case if AFN doesn`t allow (with login data) on global Boxes to operate free. Guess they support only Smart TV`s or some extra Box/Boxes, please check their website or forum if they have. Fact is they would not lose anything, if the customer have legal account and login data. The Formuler Box have all specs to let such App work correctly and without issues.

    thank you guys!! Rally appreciate your assistance..

    I found the app on APK pure.... But that has just screwed up my box.... factory reset and rebuild needed!

    I do not see the point of infecting someones box..... but then again... I am a Live and let live sort of guy....

    Once again... Thanks

    I get the same Blue circle!

    If Formuler are not certificated with Google play ( I think I understood correctly) the app will not play...


    This is typical US millitary crap .... only doing half a job!

    Blame it on Trump:grinning_squinting_face:

    Ok.. while on the topic of apps....

    I downloaded the APK-Pure app downloader to download the app... Withing minutes I was getting pop up after pop up.... I had to factory reset the box.. ( A pain in the Butt as I had so many apps on it from all UK free Providers... )

    So my question is.... Is there an "After the infection" virus scanner / Remover thats easy to use and reliable for these boxes?

    Thanks in advance

    You did factory reset, everything is fresh again. Never install such downloader apps from sites, just needed apk for sideloading.
