Formuler boxes are Android-based devices built for IPTV. They come with MyTVOnline, a polished IPTV app with a cable-style guide, and most models can also run Google Play apps—so you get the best of both worlds.

Connection types in MyTVOnline

  • Portal (MAC): the classic Formuler method—your box's MAC is activated and you add the portal URL. See portals explained.
  • Xtream / M3U: supported in recent MyTVOnline versions.

Setup with a portal

  1. Find your box's MAC address in MyTVOnline (shown on the connection screen) or in Settings → About.
  2. Send us the MAC address; we activate it and send the portal URL.
  3. In MyTVOnline, choose Add Portal, enter a name and the portal URL.
  4. Connect. Channels, VOD and the guide load.

Setup with Xtream

  1. In MyTVOnline, add a new connection and choose the Xtream/M3U option.
  2. Enter server, username and password.
  3. Connect and wait for the guide.

Tips

  • Use the box's Ethernet port.
  • Customize the channel list and hide groups you don't watch.
  • You can also install TiviMate from Google Play on most models if you prefer it.
