formuler z7+ keeps buffering. help!

by mewacebiz

i just got a formuler z7+ but it keeps buffering on all channels. sometimes every other minute and other times about every 3-5 minutes like clockwork. video pauses, i get the spinning wheel then it starts playing again.

i tested mag box, no buffering, dreamlink t2 also no buffering. i thought the formuler box was better and should have no buffering due to extra ram.

searching online i find old threads from earlier this year about the same issues, but i dont see any recent ones with the same issue.

any suggestions?

I suggest you do the following and if it doesn’t help, return the box and get another one:

  1. unplug modem, router, and z7+ for 2mins. Then plug back everything. Is buffering better?
  2. if not better, perform a factory reset on formuler box and then setup Iptv service again. Buffering better?
  3. if not better, return/exchange box

Change startup from Fast to Normal in settings.

That was the only known issue for buffering that I am aware of. Maybe ask on Formuler’s forum. They are usually very helpful. https://www.formuler-support.tv/forum/
