Which country?
Which ISP?
Canada / Ottawa
Primus (using the Rogers network)
One additional thing I failed to mention is that I have a M*g 254 connected also through ethernet (directly plugged) to the modem in another room (with a different iptv provider- g**tv) and the only time that box chokes is when there are source issues from the channel itself. It never drops the internet connection. I have thought that the DLink home electric wiring ethernet adapter is the problem but I've switched the M*G with the formuler and the issue remained with the internet connection in the formuler getting dropped at different intervals. I also have made the ethernet connection static ip and set the mytvonline buffer time to the MAX 10 seconds and disabled Time shift with no improvement. (My iptv provider is - ip g**s)
I hope the formuler technical support are working on a patch to fix this chronic issue.

There's definitely an issue with the last 2 main release updates (last week and today's) and connecting via the ethernet port.
Like you I keep getting a black screen due to loss of Internet connection.
I connect via homeplug and never had any issues until the recent updates. Now the Internet connection keeps dropping and each time I need to go in to the ethernet settings on the box and click 'automatic' dhcp to establish the Internet connection, despite continuing to be connected to the local network, with a local ip address. Only the 'connected to Internet' status keeps dropping and switching to No, sometimes every 10 mins, other times it can be good for up to an hour and then suddenly drop.
When this happens if I click automatic dhcp, then click OK, then I have to go back in to the ethernet settings, only then does it connect back to the Internet, it doesn't connect when I just click automatic dhcp, I need to make sure I click OK and then go back in to ethernet settings to establish the Internet connection again. However, this is only a temp fix as it will then drop out again after a period of time.
I didn't have any issues before the main release of the update. The beta was fine also as far as I can remember.
I've been using the ethernet homeplug from the time I've had the box and had no issues until now.
Any chance this can be fixed soon?
I have a Zx connected with ethernet through the electric wiring home plug (I also tried the wireless connection) and I agree with Lurch that there is a problem with the Network interfaces (both ethernet and wireless) dropping the internet connection sporadically at odd intervals. This has been happenning since I got the Zx box last October and the screen would show the "loading" wheel and I had to go to settings to activate my internet connection . I have applied the 2 recent updates and the problem persisted with the internet connection dropping but the screen stopped showing the turning wheel just the picture would freeze until I reactivate the connection. I think this is a bug in the formuler Z series that need to be addressed very soon else I will switch to another brand.
