In this tutorial, you'll learn how to install and configure iptv subscription on Formuler Z boxes using the MyTvOnline or MyTvOnline2 application, which supports Stalker Portal technology.

Boxes from the Formuler brand are considered to be the best IPTV boxes around. These boxes run on Android TV, so you can install all the applications available on the Playstore, including your special IPTV VPN ;). But above all, these set-top boxes are perfectly optimized and specialized for the use of IPTV subscriptions. Like Infomir's MAG boxes, installation is hyper-simple for the user. Everything is done via the MyTVOnline application.

MyTvOnline and MyTvOnline2

This application has been designed and developed by the Formuler brand. It lets you enjoy all pay-TV channels over the Internet on the brand's TV boxes. Of course, it's possible to install these IPTV subscriptions with the provider's Android app, as with other android tv boxes. But MyTVOnline brings features that are generally absent or impractical on the usual applications. With MyTVOnline, for example, you can :

  • timeshift (pause) on all channels
  • access the program schedule without leaving your TV channel
  • record live or recorded broadcasts
  • create a list of favorite channels
  • set reminders for programs to watch

All these functions are seamlessly integrated, and the ease and fluidity are unmatched by third-party Android applications. What's more, MyTVOnline makes the most of the technical features of Formuler's products. As a result, the picture is a thing of beauty. If you have a quality IPTV stream and a good TV, you'll easily see the difference between the "lambda" provider's application and MyTVOnline!

Version 2 of the application, MyTVOnline2, brings technical improvements. This IPTV subscription installation tutorial is therefore valid for all versions of MyTVOnline.

Subscription setup on MyTVOnline

Get your MAC address Formulate

This MAC address must be communicated to your all-channel subscription provider. It is this address that will enable your device "will be authorized" to access IPTV servers of the supplier.
To get this MAC address:

  • Start the MyTVOnline application
  • Go to Edit Portal
  • You should see your MAC address starting with 00:1A:79:....

Once your provider has validated your MAC address, it must send you the URL address of its IPTV server.
