Currently got my dad/mum a firetv for iptv using smarters but they are wanting a more seemless solution with option to record also
considering getting them a Formuler Z8+ mainly for the tvonline stb look
am i wrong or are there better alternatives?
For plug and play I would say z7/z8 is definitely the way to go, it jut works and works well, especially if you need that set top box wife approval factor.
Z7+ mate.
Z8 is new and might have some bugs
can you use multiple providers on formuler? and does catchup work on tvonline if provider has it enabled?
I use a zgemma i55 plus. Gives a real sky tv look and feel. Not many providers/resellers will help setup or sell a sub for these devices as the majority don't know or want to assist with setup. However if you can find one that is dedicated to these devices you have one of if not the best iptv setup. If interested I know a very good dedicated supplier that is currently taking on new subscribers untill the end of April.
Yeah I've used a zgemma h2s in my bedroom with sly skin but don't rate them that highly for iptv maybe i55 better
You can't go wrong with the Z8. If the price scares you, the Z7+ is also a great option. Recording is a fantastic feature that is only available on select boxes, formuler, dreamlink and buzz boxes. MAG boxes can do it also, but they are dependent on if your provider has it enabled (also they are blocking portals actively so no longer recommended).
Currently have a Z8, love it. The support options and the fact they have an official forum where you can post questions and get fucking answers, is far above what the other providers have. I mean how many times have you seen people posting questions in these subs about their software packages, or their boxes not working, all because they have no where else to ask :)
Thanks got one getting delivered Sunday see how it goes
The z8 is an awesome box for those wanting a cable like experience. The Buzz TV 3900 is a solid choice as well.
