Formuler IPTV Setup Guide for the UK

Before you start

Identify your Formuler model and MYTVOnline version. Confirm whether you should use M3U, XC or a supported MAC-ID portal.

For an overview of our IPTV service, keep three things separate: the device, the player application and the content subscription. Each can have its own compatibility requirements and costs.

Install and open a compatible player

Open the content-source or portal settings appropriate to your MYTVOnline version. Add the confirmed access format, save the source and wait for the channel list to load.

Check Hot Player setup first, then IBO Player Pro setup where supported. If you already use a suitable player, compare its accepted account formats before changing apps.

Add the right access details

Choose the login format supplied with your NexOTT account. An M3U playlist is a complete URL: paste it into the playlist field without shortening it. Xtream Codes uses separate server, username and password fields. Preserve the supplied protocol and port, and do not paste the complete M3U URL into the server field.

Name the playlist NexOTT, save it and allow the first channel load to finish. When the app uses a web playlist manager, open the address shown by that exact app and match its device identifier. Keep your playlist URL, password and device keys private.

Check playback, sound and the programme guide

1. Open several live channels and compare picture, sound and channel changes. Then try an on-demand title if included in your account.
2. Open the programme guide and check the device date and time zone. Some account formats populate EPG automatically; others need a separate guide URL supplied by support.
3. Try subtitles, audio selection, search and favourites. Repeat a short viewing test at your normal viewing time on the connection you intend to use.
4. Check your plan before adding another screen, recording or using multiview. A player licence does not increase the service connection allowance.

Formuler checks

Check the UK time zone and guide offsets. If support needs a device identifier, use the identifier requested for that connection rather than substituting the router MAC address.

If only one channel fails, note the channel and time and compare a different source. If everything fails, check the active account, selected playlist and network before reinstalling. Our IPTV not working checklist helps separate account problems from playback problems.
