IPTV on a Formuler box
Formuler boxes, especially the Z series, are purpose-built for IPTV. They run Android underneath but ship with MYTVOnline, a dedicated IPTV app designed around portal and Xtream Codes logins, which makes them a favourite for a TV-like, set-and-forget experience.
Because there's Android under the hood, you're not locked in: you can also sideload standard players like IPTV Smarters Pro if you prefer their layout.
The verdict: A strong pick if you want a dedicated IPTV box built around MYTVOnline, with the freedom to add other Android players when you want them.

Best IPTV apps for the Formuler.
Each of these accepts the same OTTV login — an Xtream Codes server, username and password, or an M3U URL — so you can switch between them without changing your subscription.
MYTVOnline, the built-in player
MYTVOnline is Formuler's own IPTV app and the reason people buy these boxes. It's built for IPTV specifically, with a clean live-TV layout, a proper guide, and support for both portal-style and Xtream Codes logins. For many users it's the only app they ever open.
You add your OTTV details once — a server URL, username and password for Xtream Codes — and the box boots close to live TV each time, much like a traditional set-top box.
Sideloading other players
Because the Formuler runs Android, you're not stuck with MYTVOnline. If you'd rather use IPTV Smarters Pro or TiviMate — for instance to match the app on your other devices — you can install them and point them at the same OTTV login.
This flexibility is what sets Formuler apart from a pure portal box like a MAG: you get the dedicated IPTV experience and the option of a full app when you want it.
Setting up IPTV on the Formuler.

Open MYTVOnline
From the Formuler home screen, launch the MYTVOnline app that comes preinstalled.

Choose to add a playlist and select the login type OTTV gave you — Xtream Codes (server, username, password) or an M3U URL.
- 3

- 4
Optional: add another app
If you prefer IPTV Smarters Pro or TiviMate, install it from the store or by sideloading, then enter the same OTTV login.

Frequently asked.
- What app does a Formuler box use for IPTV?
- The built-in MYTVOnline app, which is designed for IPTV and supports both portal and Xtream Codes logins. You can also sideload IPTV Smarters Pro or TiviMate if you prefer.
- Is a Formuler box better than a MAG box?
- It's more flexible. A MAG box is portal-only, while a Formuler runs Android, so it has MYTVOnline for the dedicated experience plus the option to add other players.
- Can I use IPTV Smarters on a Formuler?
- Yes. Because the box runs Android, you can install IPTV Smarters Pro and enter the same OTTV login you use in MYTVOnline.
