How to Set Up IPTV on Formuler
Set up a Formuler Z-series box with MYTVOnline — add your Nexlivo subscription as a portal or Xtream login and get the best dedicated IPTV experience available.

Formuler's Z-series boxes (Z8, Z10, Z11 and variants) are built specifically for IPTV: the MYTVOnline app, the remote with dedicated guide keys, the instant channel zapping — it's the closest thing to a "proper telly box" experience IPTV has. Setup takes about five minutes.
Step 1: Connect and update
- Connect the box to your TV via HDMI and to your network — Ethernet if at all possible; these boxes deserve a wired connection.
- Run through the first-boot setup (language, network, time zone — choose Europe/London).
- Accept any offered MYTVOnline update before going further; playlist handling improves version to version.
Step 2: Add your Nexlivo subscription in MYTVOnline
- Open MYTVOnline from the home screen.
- Choose to add a connection. MYTVOnline accepts both portal and Xtream/M3U-style logins — use whichever your welcome message provides.
- Enter the details exactly as sent — server address first, then username and password where prompted. A USB keyboard plugged into the box makes this painless if you have one nearby.
- Name the connection ("Nexlivo") and confirm.
Step 3: Import and watch
MYTVOnline imports the channel list and downloads the programme guide — first run takes a minute or two. After that:
- The GUIDE key opens the EPG grid directly.
- Number keys jump straight to channels, old-school style.
- Favourites and channel groups are managed from the channel list menu — worth two minutes of setup for years of quicker browsing.
Formuler boxes remember multiple connections — if you're trialling Nexlivo alongside an existing service, add it as a second connection and switch between them from the MYTVOnline start screen.
If something is not working
- "Server not responding" when adding the connection — retype the server address character by character; one wrong dot is enough. Confirm the box actually has internet (Settings → Network).
- Channels imported but EPG empty — give it a few minutes on first run, then force an EPG refresh: fixing an IPTV EPG.
- Stuttering on Wi-Fi — these boxes have proper Ethernet ports; use one. Otherwise see fixing IPTV buffering.
- Support knows Formuler well — ask us anything.
