    Hi

    I am just about to switch from my old faithful box to a Formuler box I don't fully understand the differences between the Z+ the Z8 and the Z8 Pro can anybody help please?

    I will be watching iptv mainly for Grand prix and Football (soccer) along with the odd films but I have never used a Formuler box before

    Thanks :thinking_face:

    Z+ is older box with MOL1, Z+ neo newer with MOL2. We don`t have Z9 but Z10 pro Max.

    Here are the differences, just read the specs. -> https://www.formuler.tv/specs-1

    Z8 pro would be good choice for you :winking_face:

    Thanks much appreciate your help

    I have never had anything other than a different box before so really don't know how the Formuler is different or the set up as the other box was basically plug and play once you put in their details so I am trying to obtain as much information as possible given that I am not that great with technology and have to trust my provider

    Thanks again

    Hi

    First post, and I didn't want to make a new thread. So here it goes.

    Been in the sat-world since several years and started iptv with a M*g box a few years ago (hope this is allowed). Now I've been reading a lot of stuff about the Formuler boxes and I'm very interested. But ... I find it very difficult to choose one, especially between the Z8 Pro and the Z10 Pro Max.

    Why seemed the Z8 Pro a good choice (as quoted here below) :question_mark:

    Can any of you experts help me out here? Technically I'd prefer the Z10, but I'm reading some issues here (eg image stuttering, recording problems, less remote control options, less options/apps/settings in general, ...) which seem to be better and more stable on the Z8 Pro. On the other hand, specs are theoretically much better on the Z10... I only want to be sure to have all options and possibilities the Z8 Pro has already, and - even more important - a good and stable image. Or aren't there any negative points on the Z8 Pro to the Z10?

    Apps are not needed, only iptv (channels, vods and series).

    No optical out on the Z10: is dolby working via hdmi :question_mark:

    Also I've read there's a possibility to add subtitles online -> is there a sync or offset option :question_mark:


    A lot of questions, I know :smiling_face:

    Thanks for reading, I'm looking forward to useful replies. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

    Best regards

    And for this what you need (threadstarter asked same) is Z8 pro technically mature, optimised and works really good.

    Z10 is new box with higher specs (aosp OS like Z8 but with higher version Android10), other chipset, can decode AV1, have micro sd card slot integrated etc. But it is new box and need time until every corner is optimised, like every other new box too. Like i know the devs. they will do good work with future updates.

    No matter which one you take, both will do good job.

    Yes

    For VOD yes, if subtitle available on opensubtitle.org (All MOL2 boxes)

    is there a sync or offset option

    Unfortunately no.

    Thanks, SAM!

    My doubts between the Z10 Pro Max and the Z8 Pro remain (I'v had bad experiences with 'newer' models of satboxes and iptvboxes earlier, hence my doubts between a 'stable older' model and a 'hopefully soon stable newer' model.

    So no subtitle sync or offset possible ; is there an audio sync or offset possible (for vods, series and perhaps even channels)?

    No, but if you have good subscription from some powerful provider you will never have problems with this. You can have the best box in the world but if your sub. is not ok you will not have joy.

    Buy, try and you will know if the boxes match your criteria's otherwise you will never know :winking_face:

    I would go with the z8,the z10 is jst out and is full of bugs,give it atleast 6months and it will be the best box,id never again buy any box jst released,made that mistake once and sent it bck but now 6months later it's one of the best on the market so if you want stability then you can't go wrong with the z8
