I too have the studdering. I have tried VPN'S different services and different devices and my Z11 Pro Max shudders off and on. I don't know how you can approach this but from the reads here, there is definitely an issue.

Well the first fix for me is the scheduled recordings and the beta seems to have fixed it. Successful today we will see if the next few days are as well
-
setup a scheduled recording for every day this week....The good news is that it recorded successfully today...So far so good...that was noted as haveing work done on it in the notes.
-
What bothers me is on all previous the scheduled recordings worked great and on Ver 11 it does not....I have made a couple of posts about it but no updates or explanations to why it does not work!
-
Seems that the Z11Pro Max needs some work...
-
With several sources loaded, the channel list is huge. Is it possible to lable the list somehow so you know what source each item in the list is from?
Network storage will not autoload on startup when VPN is enabled. Could this be fixed?
-
Scheduled recordings are not working. If you setup a recording for every day of the week (say Monday to Friday) and you save the setup, the first time it is used it works perfect then the next day it fails immediately.
-
When enabled, does TimeShift use additional data over what it is using to play the channe from the IPTV provider. Simply, is it using more internet data that not enabled.
-
Another bug I found is this: When booting the box, NAS storage is not mounting automatically, I have the choice checked but it is not working...I have to click on the mount choice to activate it.
-
Installed Tidal and listned to Dolby Atmos audio and it was great, but, when you leave Tidal and go back to MyTVOnline3 there is no sound. By rebooting the Z11 sound is back.
-
I have had a few days with the long lists of channel groups and have a suggestion that the DEV could consider....While not knowing the methods they are using to display the channel group lists, I'm wondering if it could be possible to insert a header with the list name. Then at least you know where you are in the list.

It would be simpler if Formuler did an upgrade to the permissions to allow write access to USB attached devices like all the other Android based devices. Other than that I have no regrets about owning a Formuler device
-
There is nothing wrong with the GTV
-
I think the video is far superior on the Z8 Pro. My son has the Z8 so I cannot do a direct comparison.
-
Good Morning Formuler Users: I have just received my Z8 Pro yesterday and I want to give you a brief review of what I think of this entertainment device.
I have been around Formuler devices for several years and this box is the best yet!
I installed it in place of my Formuler GTV and the setup was flawless. The Video output is specular in 4K and the video refresh is really quick.
I configured it to use my NAS and that was flawless. I have recorded and played back to test the results. All recordings played without any problems.
I am using it wireless 5Mhz band and very little buffering with my very slow internet (average DL 12Mb/s)
I have used a Z7+ and a Z8 and the GTV and I find this box to be the best yet!
MyTVOnline2 is so refined now that it effectively makes you feel like your on your cable tv box.
-
MIne did for sure. I was about to send a message here that the app is not in the Google Store for update but upon opening the app and going to settings I found a whole new bunch of stuff.
COOL
-
I have had similar problems with the 5MHz band dropping connection with the GTV box. It only happens occasionally but you never know when...you just loose connection to whatever you are doing at the time.
-
Found another issue...some 24/7 channels in Live TV section Video shakes like it has trouble refreshing the image
-
-
How come the GTV does not have NAS access like the Z8 and Z7+. This box is really restricted if you cannot get local network access especially to a NAS. This is the only box I have purchased that does not have this ability. Perhaps someone in DEV could comment on this?
-
Sorry wrong group. This is for GTV. I would like to have the ability to record programs on my NAS not a USB Stick
-
it don't work yet
-
What will be the code when beta firmware will be available.
-
I'm just wondering if there is going to be a beta group... I'm interested in being on the team and honestly report good things and bad.
-
I have a friend with the same problem. What happens with him is this: He logs in fine and watches TV but when he changes channels he is kicked out and cannot get any channels. He restarts the box and it will work for one channel but the second one kicks him out.
-
I have both. At this point the GTV needs some updates to compare with the Nvidia Shield Pro..at the moment the GTV cannot access network shares. The video on the GTV is really good.
-
Does anyone know how to setup the GTV to access the local network drives that are in the same domain with the GTV? I want to save my programs to a network location instead of a USB memory device.

formuler-support.tv/attachment/2089/
Please post a photo of the manual that "they" provided that says "get a a/v specialist to install"
-
I also have a Nvidia Shield so I am familiar with the Google stuff. When I go to Settings, Device Preferences, there is no storage choice. Because of this, there is no possibility of accessing Network Storage to record or play programming presently stored on the network. My Plex server accessed from the GTV does see the network devices. This is all very weird.
It looks like the box is running a fractured version of the Google system

If you don't mind me hopping on to this post. Problems with GTV.
I find that MyTVOnline sometimes looses audio suddenly without warning. I change the channel and then back and sound is there again.
For the most part, I find the GTV a real good box. Its fast and the video is outstanding on my 4K TV.
I also think a good manual on how to setup the box from the time you first turn it on would be valuable for the average user. The manual they provide in the box says get a a/v specialist to install.
-
I have it working now thanks for the help EnR...
What I had to do was unpair the GTV remote then do the ir setup.
What will happen if I pair the remote or can I pair the Harmony remote in Formular BT settings
-
I'm having no success...I'm assuming you mean the button on the left instead of the one on the right. I'm in ir mode (orange) and when asked to press the power button I press the left one and nothing happens. I looked further....after pressing the left button for 3 seconds to put it in ir mode and then press the left button to do the power with the Harmony hub, it turns off or on the TV but does not register on the hub. I noticed that when I press the button it is showing a red signal from the remote not orange (even after making sure its orange before doing it).
-
I wonder if the GTV box has an equivalent device in the Harmony database. Perhaps the Formuler people here have an idea for us?
-
When I hook the GTV to a Samsung QLED TV, using HDMI cable, Samsung cannot power on the Box
-
Trying to setup GTV with Harmony Hub and the device is not listed. Is there a compatible one to use in the data base?

2 Questions
1. I have no option for PiP(I have 2 portals, not m3u) so I assume this does not work for me if I don't see a PiP option when I press the Info button on a channel?
2. Does NAS only work for actual NAS hardware? Or is it possible to make a shared folder on my PC and make that a shared Folder between the two?
Because when I make a network location on my 3rd PC from the same folder on my main PC the folder get's added easily to be shared, but when I enter all the same info on the Z8 it does not allow me to Mount.
Thanks in advance!
I have tried on both m3u and mac address and what I discovered is that m3u channel list works PIP and mac addy does not. PIP choice shows on m3u channel list but not on MAC Portal.
-
when using MAC address portal, some providers EPG does not show when you press the OK key but when pressing the EPG key the EPG shows
-
Why don`t you use EPG url?
EPG XML URL should look like in this example: "http://provider.com/xmltv.php?username=11111&password=22222".
That is exactly what I am doing on the Z8 and it does not work if you are using M3U Playlists. EPG works perfect if you use MAC address. With xmltv URL I only get the program name but no description of what the program is about. Tried it with more than one provider.
-
It's providers side, nothing to do with Formuler, will probably be fixed soon. For now use the m3u line.
The problem with the m3u line is that the epg does not show the description of program that is named on any channel. Used to work with old version of hardware but not on Z7+ or Z8. Would rather use m3u but this makes it not the greatest. My M3U EPG works with all the other apps that I have used with IPTV
