Formuler Z8 - setup help

by Lonely-Environment57

Really excited that I picked up a Formuler Z8 today! But I've now spent almost 2 hours trying to get various things to work and am getting pretty frustrated. I know I'm likely missing something. Can anyone please help with any of the below?

The box came with a normal remote and an air mouse. The air mouse didn't have instructions, it was just thrown in the box as a 'free gift' from dreamlink. From what I can see, it is supposed to be plug and play but it isn't working when I put the receiver in. I've tried the receiver for my wireless PC mouse and this works fine as soon as it's plugged in. Is there some kind of pairing protocol for the air mouse?

Is there no internet browser possibility on the Z8? I need this to get filelinked onto the box - the link through downloader doesn't seem to work. I've double checked that third party apps are allowed.

I can't get google play store to work properly - when I search, I get a list of options but there is no way to scroll down or select any of the options that I can see. If I use the cursor function on the remote, I can select one of the items I can see, but I still can't scroll down and my only option is to exit.

Not very impressed at the user-friendliness so far. The instructions provided are only for initial setup and no guidance re settings, moving around the box options, etc.

If anyone can provide any assistance, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

Z8 is not Androidtv certified. That is why some apps do not have Android TV interface. You sometimes need to use mouse or the mouse button on remote to click some things on the apps.. again though it's main purpose is for iptv, not other apps.

You can get a browser from the built in app market go look in market for a browser. The free air mouse you have to press the mouse cursor on it to turn on air mouse other wise its in remote mode by default. The play store is the phone version of playstore you do have to use a mouse to work it 100% properly. But 90% of the apps you want are on the built in market like file linked and such.
