Formuler Z11 Pro MAX BT1 Edition with GTV-BT1 Bluetooth Remote Android 11 Mytvonline 3 4K IPTV Set Top Box Official UK Version BT 1

I was looking for a replacement for my Amazon Fire TV stick after it stopped working suddenly. After reading many reviews about the Formuler brand (and especially the Z11 Pro Max) against other similar brands and products in the same competitive bracket, I was impressed enough by it's offerings to try it out. This isn't like the cheaper Android streaming boxes that often flood the marketplace. This is a powerhouse for entertainment! Everything you need to get started in IPTV is in the box with the exception of external storage if required - I'm using a NAS system (network attached storage) for recordings of live TV etc but you could equally use a USB flash drive or external hard drive through the USB port. The supplied HDMI cable is of decent quality. I didn't receive the IR sensor that is listed elsewhere but as it has the Bluetooth remote, this really isn't an issue for me. Be sure to check out the Formuler Remote app to setup hot keys for your favourite apps/controls. One really nice addition to the contents is the soft-touch remote control cover! Initial setup of the box was very straightforward, with great connectivity using either the LAN port on the back, or using the WIFI6 option offering impressive speeds well above 580mbps. I love the addition of the Google Play store where you can get all the official apps for streaming music and film, making this a proper Android TV box. The only disappointment is that Netflix don't recognise the Z11 as a legitimate android device, so you have to get the app from MarketPlace instead of PlayStore. The downside to this is that you have to use the remote as a mouse type (press the hot key with 2 dots to bring up the cursor and use the D-pad, then press again to hide it). I was really surprised at how easy it was to login with my IPTV provider and have everything running within 10mins and includes the MyTVOnline app for TV which has a guide and layout akin to using SkyQ. You can even add the app to your phone which doubles as an IPTV player when you're out and about which is pretty cool. So far, very impressed overall. Fast, responsive, powerful processing and switching of apps, great sound quality and hasn't missed a beat yet. A bigger investment in comparison to a FireStick, but worth it. I just wish I had got this sooner!

Proper upgrade from the explosive twig. A bit more money but much more stable with a whole host of extra features. Only comment is the remote is a bit too clever for its own good, I ended up purchasing a second remote which offered IR only communication which was more compatible with an IR repeater system I am using. MyTV app is good, quality of the product is high.

I've had this a few months now. Never had a problem with lag or anything. Plenty of memory so if you use loads of apps, you don't need to worry about space. Bigger remote with more buttons than other devices which makes navigation much easier and losing it down the back of the sofa much harder, the remote is really responsive too. Streams on demand great and no issues with live streams either. None of the little annoyances you get with cheaper options like lag, clunkiness, apps going wrong all the time, freezing, lack of space. If you're a serious content streamer who uses a lot of apps, it's worth paying out a little more for this box!

Great bit of kit

Easy to setup. Looked at various videos online for some help, especially for usb sideloading. But all ok so far. It's very fast . Bit pricey, but I'm happy. Internet connection was easy and remote control is straightforward. Have added a mouse too. I'll have to get a Y splitter now for mouse and usb stick.

It’s fast and works really well The controls are easy to use

Box has been rock solid, picture quality is very good. Doesnt get updates regularly, however its not had a any issues for over a year now. Well worth the money

Great box. Features and picture superb
