    Is there an app to install on z8 pro to improve sound quality? I am not talking about no sound problem, just better sound in general.

    I think the sound is like wrapped up in "cotton" so an app to open up the sound would be nice

    Any suggestions?

    I think you need to empty your cache from time to time. Installing the app as soon as it start lagging, thats way too much.

    hi

    Catch is not a problem. I do that every day. Even when I forget to it's only 10-15mb catch and that shouldn't be a problem

    I also suspect my router to mess up some.

    Yesterday both wifi and ethernet connection stopped working. I unplugged it and replugged it and it worked fine.

    Got a netgear nighthawk RAX50 router. It should be good, but is it stable enough?

    Do you guys have a good proposal for a router?

    Been looking at TP link AX 6000 and this really looks good, don't you think?

    PS

    Tuesday night picture started lagging and everything was strange to watch.

    Uninnstalled and reinstalled MOL2 and everything was all fine again.

    Can anyone explain this?

    Is it MOL2 or can the router mess things up?

    Don't want answers just as an answer, I need an expert opinion!

    Ok, I see. You only reinstalled MOL2. Thank you anyway for your tips, very helpful!!

    ok

    last night my picture started lagging/hanging/breaking up so as I said I started with un-innstalling the MOL2 app, powered the z8 pro off, waited for 2-3 mins, powered it back on, innstalled the MOL2 again and fired it up. It worked nice again! So, is the app unstable? Could there be a bug somewhere? Or is it just what a software do from time to time?

    As longshot suggested, took box an router off from power for ca. 10 minutes.

    Seems to work again, at least for the moment.

    SAM ,can I use backup/restore to save my custom favorite lists?

    hi

    should be no need to make backup. My list is still there after reinnstalling the MOL2 app

    Next time this happens, I'll try it one step at a time starting with MOL2 app. If that dosn't do the trick it is the router who messes up

    Hi

    I don't know if this will help you, but I am very keen to get my iptv work good. I have had issues with channels suddenly dropping out, freezing and then jumping or not load at all. Of course, this could be a provider issue, but if that is ruled out you're stuck with two things, the z8 pro (with mol2) and your router. Tuesday I noticed these small jumps and channels just stopped working and this is what I did

    Like you I tried to restart the z8pro but that didn't solve the problem. I then uninnstalled the MOL2 and disconnected the box. When starting it up again there was a software update and of course, that was the MOL2. I innstalled it, disconnected my router for 2-3 min and restarted it. Wednesday I had none of these problems. That could be temperary, but because the app is software and the router is full of electronics this could happen. It is not the perfect world when it comes to internet and apps and it is annoying. But as long as it is build like this we got to live with it.

    Try this sollution and let me know how you get on.

    LOL, are you asking this really on manufacturer forum from Formuler boxes and MOL2?

    well, I quess the question came out a little wrong

    I mean I can download other app, like the smarters and stuff and I wonder how that would work, compared to the app coming with the box, that's all

    I think the formuler itself is very clean and really good, but I have this problem with mytvonline2 shutting down/not responding. If you have to reset and reinnstall it from time to time I thik there must be something wrong with it. That shouldn't really be necessary

    hi

    Is there a better app to use on formuler than mytvonline2?

    I read on forums about other boxes don't have the problems with app shutting down or stop working (black screen)

    Is this a software issue or is it simply the app that is not quit good enough?

    It will be not a problem with Mol2 , because receive the EPG data from the server.
    So It would be occured because the server has different EPG info if they didn't update EPG data correctly.

    hi

    had a few problems with epg lately.

    Suddenly it just jumps back 2-3 years even if I have it set on auto time.

    Then of course, it won't be any epg, I have to manually set it back to the right year and time.

    Why does it change without me doing anything?

    From time to time when I switch channels everything goes black

    When i disconnect and reconnect to my service provider it won't open

    Just tried to connect to another provider and it opened straight away

    When I go back to my prefered provider again it opens.

    I find that strange.

    Could it be a bug in the software or could there be a problem with my box?

    Anyone else with this problem?

    yes. Press the INFO button on the remote 2 times to see the video codec information.

    ok, I found it. But there is something I wonder about

    On a channel there is the following:

    1920x1080i 50 fps 16'*9 AAC/HEVC 8 bits, SDR pic:7000kbps, net 6000kbps

    The pic and net figures differs a lot, could be from 20000 to 0

    What does these settings/numbers mean?

    Is there really such a thing like HEVC for Iptv?

    My provider claims so but I wonder?

    I take it z8pro box can take that?

    In full picture mode it says FHD or HD, but could it still be a HEVC file format if the answer is yes to first question?

    Please provide a video of the issue with sound for better understanding.

    Hi

    Isn't 50khz for PAL tv and 60khz for NTSC tv?

    That would mean if I am in a pal country I should use 50 if broadcast is made in PAL and NTSC if it's american and other ntsc countries.

    I use 60khz watching VODS and it works perfect, no lagging and stuff.

    I guess that's because most movies are made in NTSC?

    yep that is.

    Explain what you mean by shakey and bad to watch.

    Does it happen all the time or only some channels?

    just like a digital error with traces and lagging picture.

    When I see it on one channel it's all over the board

    Switched to 60khz and it got clear, but I remember doing that before and from time to time see small jumps in picture?

    Is that something that could happen?

    Any difference on 4K 60 and 1080 60?

    hi

    Got a problem that my picture suddenly messes up and gets shakey and makes it bad to watch

    I wonder what it could be?

    Got a 500/500 fiber optic line and a netgear nighthawk router- I use the maytvonline2 app on my z8pro. I use a stalker URL from my provider

    Is there an app that is better than this one?

    Could it be the router or internet line?

    Your suggestions are really welcome here

    hi

    I have changed my DNS on my router from my local one to a faster one and I wonder if I go into settings on formuler z8 pro box and change it to the same or do I use anything else there? Or don't I need to do anything on my box what so ever?

    I have a z8 pro box.

    Every now and then picture starts "shaking", getting some kind of blur and expecially football maches are terrible to watch. The ball lagging when moved, but the main problem is the unclear picture.

    What might be wrong?

    Could it be my internet line messing up? I got 500mbits line so it should be fine.

    Or could it be the iptv provider? I doubt that cause I have tried different ones and if one is bad the second one is as well.

    Or could it be some settings on the box?

    I am leaning towards the internet line but I need som good advice on this

    cheers guys
