I have worked around the above problem. From Formuler site and specs, Formuler Z8 only supports recording onto NTFS an exFAT file systems. However I have tried both exFAT and NTFS filesystems and MyTvOnline2 keeps crashing when I ask it to record something.

The method I used to format the drive into exFAT and later to NTFS was:

Used 'dd' command to wipe the entire 16Gb pen drive:

 sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdd bs=16M count=16G

Then I used fdisk to create GPT Label and new partition:

fdisk /dev/sdd
option: g  // Create new empty GPT partition table
option: n  // Add new partition
option: t  // Change partition type
option: 11 // Partition type is Microsoft Basic Data, according to Wikipedia is the equivalent to exFAT/NTFS
option: w  // Write changes and exit

Lastly I used mkfs.ntfs to format the partition

sudo mkfs.ntfs -f /dev/sdd1

Is there a way of accessing any log files in this Formuler Z8 so that I can see what is the problem with this crashing when recording?

I have just formatted a pen drive with exFAT file system but when I try to access it in my Formuler Z8, it says "Access Denied". What should I do to overcome this problem?

Well, until now, the only downside of the particular box I bought is that it doesn't comes prepared to record shows (or whatever) an be able to change channels while it is recording. Other than that, it goes good

Thanks for that insight of yours!

Tomorrow I'll be subscribing an IPTV service and I'll be able to tell more about the box!

Using that box and the MyTvOnline2 app' connected to a good IPTV provider ........ what more would you want......

Tweaks, more options to control features, etc. That would be nice. With a linux based OS everything should be possible!

Ok, thanks!

I'll stick to my Formuler Z8 for noW!

I have tried one other IPTV service and it worked very well.

But can this box be fine tuned? Are there are custom firmwares, interesting plugins, skins or any other cool stuff that allow us to empower the box? Give it extra features or anything like that?

Any Enigma2 in Amiko, Octagon or Dreambox up to 150€?

I've been said that Android OS is unstable and at days of European Championship league and another major events, even with a 100/100 Mbit connection I'll have many down times an instability. I bought a Formuler Z8 but I'm afraid I bought a box that will become outdated very quickly an with many known problems.

Hi.

I just setup my Formuler Z8 and some of my HD channels have no sound. I have a trial IPTV server. I'm not sure that matters for this!

you could still a e2 box with a tuner and just turn the tuner off if not required, but i agree that for iptv android based boxes have better options for iptv.

Downside of Android boxes is that they will be outdated 1 year later or so, no? Can the OS be updated?

Quote from jobedir

Enigma2 is not the best box choice for IPTV only

Which OS would be the best?

I've been reading about this one, but seems expensive without USB3.0:

Hello everyone.

Are there any reputable boxes using Enigma2 without tuner for IPTV?
