    I am having a problem installing this. The firmware downloaded and updated ok, but although the MTOL downloads, it fails to install giving a an "error 15" message. Now, I cant get into MTOL at all.

    PLEASE HELP!!

    Same thing happened with the last beta version and it done the same thing for me with this upgrade.Only solution is factory reset and reload everything.

    IPTV version seems to update, then reboots and goes back to the “start upgrade” screen again. I’ve tries several times, turned power off but still returns to the same screen.

    Any suggestions? The box is useless in its current state.

    Just installed it and now myt online app doesn't work anymore. It shows a TV channel for a few seconds and then it turns black. The same for all channels. I tried to reinstall the mytvonline app but that doesn't work still the same issue. Help please!

    Why is it "Install and use at your own risk" if it's an official update?

    It’s only for them to safe their own, so they don’t have to argue with others (customers).

    Wonder how they would act if Samsung or Apple would publish a software update with a small notice “ install at your own risk” and at the end would have failures with their phones.

    Mine doesn't work either. I am having a problem installing this. The firmware downloaded and updated ok, but although the MTOL seems to update, then reboots and goes back to the “start upgrade” screen again. It seems there isn't any MTOL installed at all to update.

    Any suggestions?

    I have been successful to install MyTVOnline 1.9.71 without problem after I did a factory reset and install everything again.

    Hello,

    Having the same issue here. Opted to upgrade MTOL, it rebooted but then goes back to upgrade screen each time it is launched. I tried reset to factory default, it tells me iptv not installed and when I go to upgrade, i get to install v1. 9.71 again (or 1.9.70 as beta) but both get same error again (launches upgrade app each time MTOL is launched)

    I'm on firmware 1.2.28. Don't know if issue with this firmware.

    Thanks for giving me any insights you may have to fix this issue or at least the apk of the previous version to try reinstalling the old app?

    Instalation went through. All looks good. Finally a favorites button in VOD section! Thanks!

    However, update is not perfect. I'm using MTOL for Stalker content and now in Live TV EPG is not loaded automatically for all channels what was previously available. Now have to go one by one chann to see whats on air. It pisses a little bit off.. Anyone else has the same issue?

    Use XC instead, EPG works much better.

    Perhaps you could explain here, for those of us who have yet to risk the update? Thanks.

    Hi Zedseven,

    Indeed for those who haven't upgraded yet. I would just recommend them to ensure they upgrade the firmware to the latest version first. Same needs to be done by updating the updater application first.

    This can be done through the market.

    And by the way, for those looking for older version, I found the old version in the market too.

    Hope you find it useful

    Hi David,

    Thank you. I can confirm that following your very clear instructions resulted in a trouble-free upgrade on my Z7+.

    Ridiculous to have to manually update the Software Updater app! But I'm delighted to have the Resolution button working again after several months.

    Hi guys,

    Regarding MTOL update, it's great to have the favorite option in VOD. However, it's not working for me. I mark the VOD as favorite but then I change page, or do something else and it unmark the VOD by it self... Any one with the same issue?

    Connected with MAC, XC API, or M3U?
