LOL, choose Europe instead and connect through VPN!!!
1. there is a region lock policies allows for region sold box to work in the region it was sold.
2. as suggested by
to work
you have to do certin things but the forum may not allow this because it may be against rules to mention
just return the unit and buy the canada version.
thought of that so went to set up vpn on it didn't even connect internet for the set up but still came up same notice and shut down
Dude, use external vpn, maybe in the router or in a windows/linux pc with vpn and share connection for the first setup. Are you using ethernet for the first setup? It might detect right away your canadian IP. Unless i'm missing something and formuler devs did a region lock detecting the power voltage where Europe uses 220v and Canada only 120v, but that's very complex for my brain, i would try the vpn method...
But if you can't do it, do what was suggested by Jumping Rabbit, just buy the canadian version if available or contact formuler devs so they can remove that lock i guess...

1. for vpn to work he would have to do offline setup on first run and maybe disable location status.
but the door for that close.
2. don't think formuler will remove the region lock because i believe it is against policy(someone with better info can confirm the region policy)
remember eu is pal standard and usa/canada is ntsc so some settings may be factory default for the eu version and extra changes may have to be made.

It must be related to DVB tuners.
It`s regio lock and you can not bypass this with vpn. Please contact the seller and let him exchange the unit for NA version.
So he confirm it region lock and the policy will not allow region to be interchanged.
your best option is to get a refund and buy a na version.
your cost may be to ship back the unit to Germany.
