  • I was hoping to see that they fixed whatever is changing the pin code to ??? when we have not even set a pin code.

    In playing with trying to get my pin code back to 0000 I ended up doing a factory reset and the pin 0000 worked for that so I ended up having to reinstall all my apps and set up MyTvOnline all over again and come to find out it won't connect with my primary sub that I use my mac address with because the new update added a NEW Mac address. In the settings it still shows the old mac but now it's called ID # and the new mac starts with

    00:1E:B8 instead of the regular 00:1A:79

    Right. Just noticed that too after the update. On MyTVOnline setup I see MAC and ID. My MAC is 00:1E:B8 and my ID is 00:1E:79. It also used to be 00:1A:79 but my iptv works fine which is strange because I still have 00:1A:79 displayed on my iptv provider. LoL!

  • Hi

    I also noticed it changes your mac address hope this won't be a problem down the road when adding iptv providers. Also since the update I noticed you can no longer change the resolution while in the mytvonline you used to be able to use remote select resolution and change it from say 1080 p x60 hz or 720 x60 etc now that doesn't work. Hopefully this will be fixed

  • Hello, I want to uninstall this last update because it changed my MAC and since then I can't connect to my provider anymore!!! How can I get the old version back? Thank you.

    To uninstall it go into your settings/android/apps/mytvonline and uninstall Then go to the market and install mytvonline from there do not update it after you install and it should go back to your original mac address.

  • Nope, nothing works anymore. I installed the older mytvonline but the problem remains. I think the problem came with the firmware update, so nothing I can do. When I try to connect to my provider I got a freeze, then after 5 minutes it say check your internet connexion (my connexion is fine).

    Any ideas on how to recover my old firmware ? Thank you

  • SAM or 175n can we have a comment on this issue? I personally haven't updated my Z7+ but it seems like quite a serious bug. Is there a reason for this? Or is it just a legit bug and will be fixed asap?

    For some reason I think the problem happened when I did a reset and then installed the update. Now that I have the old version working I was able to install the update with no problem even though there is a NEW Mac address.

    I still can't get the PIN code to work even though 0000 works for the box it won't work for MyTvOnline app.

  • The Media Access Control Address (MAC Address) of your box has always started with 00:1e:b8

    There is no way to change this physical address.

    Are you saying the last 3 octets of the MAC or ID changed after you updated the firmware? (Last 3 octets of MAC/ID shown on screen don't match what is printed on the bottom of the device)

    MOL has always used a software ID that begins with 00:1a:79 to connect to MAC-based portals.

    Nothing has changed in the way MOL connects to MAC-based services between old and new versions.

    Previously when you go into settings the was only a ID of 00:1A:79:xx:xx:xx and that is what I gave my IPTV supplier as a Mac address.

    Now with the new update it has Id 00:1A:79:xx:xx:xx and a Mac of 00:1E:B8:xx:xx:xx the last 6 are the same in both.

    I am not sure why I was getting a pop up saying that it couldn't connect and to check my internet connection or my URL. My internet was fine and I was able to go to the market and upload apps and the URL was correct.

    Exactly like 175n say.

    This means also in future, you still use the ID 00:1A:79:xx:xx:xx for provider, the box MAC address 00:1E:B8:xx:xx:xx is for provider irrelevant but now also shown in the settings as extended info.

  • yes ,I have the same Problem

    Known issue. Will be brought back in the next update.

    You can change resolution from the Android Settings menu.

    Android Settings > Display > Custom display format.

    WARNING: Do not select a display format that is not compatible with your TV.

    If you end up with a black screen, press and hold the resolution button to revert to a "safe" resolution.

  • Hi,

    I have also noticed since the latest update , I cannot exit MOL. If I press exit on the remote I get the message (Are you sure you want to exit) but I am unable to select Ok or Cancel.

    As I have MOL setup to start on boot up I cannot get back to the main setting.

    Has anybody else got this problem?

    Worked fine for me. Whenever I get strange activity after an update I do a software reset then check it again. If that doesn't work, I do a factory reset then update the software. Only had to do a factory reset once some time ago when I couldn't get the box to turn off/on. Had to unplug it then plug it, did a factory reset then updated software and remote worked fine to turn it off/on.
