How to set up IPTV on a Formuler box
By Yanis Moreau, IPTV & Streaming Editor Last updated
Formuler boxes (Z8, Z11 Pro, CC and similar) run a custom Android system with the built-in MYTVOnline app — the easiest route is to open MYTVOnline and add your subscription with a portal URL or an Xtream Codes login. Because it’s Android-based, you can also install TiviMate or IPTV Smarters if you prefer. Here’s both, step by step.
Option 1 — MYTVOnline (built in, easiest)
- Open the MYTVOnline app on your Formuler home screen.
- Go to Add Playlist and choose Xtream Codes or Portal / M3U URL.
- For Xtream Codes, enter the server URL, username and password. For a portal, enter the portal URL we provide.
- Let the channels and EPG load, then arrange your favourites.
Option 2 — TiviMate or IPTV Smarters
Since Formuler runs Android, you can install a different player from the Play Store (or sideload). The setup is identical to our TiviMate guide or IPTV Smarters guide — add your subscription via Xtream Codes or M3U.

- Use the Ethernet port — Formuler boxes have one, and it beats Wi-Fi for peak-hour sport.
- Keep MYTVOnline updated for the latest fixes.
- Buffering? See our buffering guide.
Troubleshooting
- Login/portal rejected: re-check the URL and credentials (case-sensitive).
- No guide: let the EPG finish downloading, then restart the app.
- App issues: a factory-fresh MYTVOnline or a fresh TiviMate install usually resolves quirks.

Can I install TiviMate on a Formuler box?
Yes — Formuler runs Android, so TiviMate and IPTV Smarters both work alongside MYTVOnline.
Which Formuler box is best for IPTV?
