These TV boxes are perfectly suited for the Formuler IPTV subscription. In reality, everything takes place through the Formuler Z MyTVOnline application.
In this guide, you will learn everything about IPTV subscription; its installation and configuration procedure on Formuler Z using the MyTvOnline or MyTvOnline2 application.
A brief overview of IPTV and how it works
Television broadcasting today relies on different technologies. Generally, the channels use terrestrial or satellite transmission. In fact, with terrestrial broadcasting, television reception is done via an antenna installed on the roof of houses.
Nowadays, everything is digital, with digital television broadcast by transmitters and transmission antennas that cover the entire territory. On the other hand, with satellite broadcasting, television reception is ensured thanks to a satellite dish and a satellite demodulator. Available throughout Canada, it provides access to numerous stations and channel packages.
The disadvantage of both technologies is that the viewer has no control over the programming of their channels. Indeed, they cannot watch what they want, when they want. Program times are strictly predefined, and shows must adhere to a specific schedule. Unless the viewer has a recording device that allows them to save the selected content.
Furthermore, a new computer program has just been created to replace traditional broadcasting protocols. It is called IPTV . Indeed, this broadcasting method uses either the existing telephone network or optical fiber to transmit the television signal via an Internet protocol. Thus, thanks to the Internet connection , IPTV offers the viewer the possibility not only to select the content that suits him, but also to watch it whenever he wants .
Different forms of IPTV
There are three types of IPTV to discover below:
Live IPTV
Live IPTV is similar to regular television. In other words, TV broadcasts are accessible live over the internet while being broadcast on TV channels. It is frequently used for broadcasting sports events.
TV Replay
Replay TV is a catch-up TV system. It allows you to watch programs on a delayed basis. But what's its basic principle? A film, series, or program is made available for several days after its initial broadcast. This content is therefore available for a specific period.
This form of broadcasting therefore offers viewers the means to rewatch programs that they missed at the time of their initial broadcast. However, it should be remembered that after a certain period, content may no longer be available or chargeable.

VOD: Video on Demand
The term VOD refers to video on demand. This form of distribution allows viewers to enjoy audiovisual content either individually, by renting, or by purchasing it. Therefore, it is up to the user to select the content they wish to watch.
How does catch-up TV differ from video-on-demand services? The main difference between them is the retention period of the content. Catch-up TV offers you content for a limited period, while VOD services allow you to access a library of videos with unlimited content in terms of duration and time.
In the same section, you'll find the SVOD (Subscription Video On Demand) service . Unlike VOD, the consumer won't pay for each video individually, but will instead take out a monthly or annual subscription. This subscription allows unlimited access to a platform's entire catalog.
Nowadays, it is possible to integrate access to these platforms into the entire Internet offering proposed by an operator.
But some subscriptions, like Netflix, can also be purchased outside of your internet service provider. This is known as Over The Top (OTT) service. This term, also known as OTT, refers to SVOD offerings directly accessible from the provider, independently of the internet service provider. In other words, the subscriber does not need to go through an internet service provider.
What is the difference between MyTvOnline 1 and 2?
As a reminder, this application was designed and developed by Formuler. It allows you to take advantage of IPTV subscriptions available on this brand's TV boxes . Of course, you can install these IPTV subscriptions using the Android application, just like on other Android TV boxes.
