    Iptv box

    Hey guys

    With the football season hopefully going to kick off again soon I'm looking at getting a new box for iptv. I've currently got a 1st gen fire stick that I use but its very laggy. It doesn't need to be anything amazing as ill just be using it for football a few times a week. Can any one recommend a good basic box to get or would I be better off getting the 4k firestick?

    Thanks

    Formuler Z Alpha or Formuler Z8 (both Android) are good choices. If they are above your budget you could look at the Amiko A6N. Alternatively if you like the look/feel of the STBemu Pro app then you could also look at the E2 Zgemma i55 Plus box.

    I do like the look of the alpha but I'm not sure ill get the full benefits of the box as I'll only be using it to watch iptv a few times a week

    Received the box today but looks like the box is faulty. Plugged it in but the remote didn't seem to work changed the battery and with the ir receiver Still no luck. Turned it off then on again the screen had loads of different lines on it tried a few hdmi cables now won't show a picture at all. Any one advice if there's anything I can do? I was hoping to have it set up for football tomorrow

    I’ve not come across any issues with a Formuler Android box. When you were removing the HDMI leads etc, did you power the box & tv off? What is your setup? Direct to tv or through an amp etc?

    I can't quite remember now but think the box was off but tv was on as I was moving it over to try the hdmi lead plugged into my sky box. Its direct to the TV

    Sounds like a loose wire, try reseating hdmi cable in back of tv and box.
