IPTV Questions (Beginner, Formuler Z8)

by Canadalivin17

Hi guys,

Recently got into IPTV, you guys here are super helpful with all of this stuff. I understand that some of these questions have been asked but hard to find some info.

  1. I currently have Helix on my Formuler. Month is almost up. How do I cancel it and try something else? Do they need to remove my MAG(MAC?) Adress? If I wanted to use them every few months, would that cause any annoyances on their end?

  2. I understand that x treme editor is for updated EPG. The EPG on Helix is DECENT but sometimes isn't correct and doesn't exist for their 24/7 channels and international. A basic subscription for x treme editor is easy to set up and will update epg automatically?

  3. Catchup on Helix is great... But some channels give me a problem and fast forwarding/rewinding is a bit buggy at times. I don't know if this is a Formuler issue but I wish it was easier to navigate to certain points.

  4. For VOD... Is Kodi with an add on still the best option (I used to have Exodus add on back in the day) or is paying for Plex? Better?

I think that's all my questions for now. Helix has been pretty great so far, curious to try other services though that rival Helix

I can only help with two questions.

  1. you need to assign epg first to the channels. After that it will update automatically. Its a really easy to use service though. Obviously you wont get epg for 24/7 channels as these are not real channels, but set up by providers/sources.

  2. I use kodi with a real debrid account. That way, you can pull up even uncompressed 4k movies.

In answer to 4, Plex is a fantastic system, IMO. I use a friends and I pay for one and it’s excellent for our use (Anime for the teenager, Murder she wrote and other 80s shows like that for the 94yo mother-in-law, newer movies and TV series for us).
