Service is Pretty Much Unwatchable Especially in the Evening.

I am trying factory reset. The only TV channel that is working is The Weather Channel. The others (TNT, A&E, Fox News, HGTV, Science) do not work. Movies do work, However they will occasionally stop and I have to restart them from the beginning.

have you tried doing an IPTV Reset at the Rocket website ?

Did factory reset and still have same issues. Another note, I have a Fire TV on the same wireless network in the same physical location as the Formuler and it works flawlessly on Netflix,,,etc. I am wondering if the MyTVOnline app in the Formuler z7+ is a problem?

As I mentioned before, netflix etc. is completely different than IPTV LiveTV, so don't use it as a comparison for troubleshooting your Problem.
*and BTW, you should try to use a wired connection to your router, so as to remove any wifi reception concerns.
*and BTW, FireTV is a well designed, high end, quality device, compared to the z7, generic Chinese low end STB.

If you can watch the weather network without problems, your Wifi can be removed from the equation.
If you can watch a VOD selection, even with glitches, you don't have an Account problem or login problem.
All channels you mentioned with problems are the HD version.
Do you have the problem on SD (Science 193 instead of 9193, etc.)?

Stuff to try anyway!

There is a dreamlink update to address that problem and many others . Check your update.

Was just watching the Peach Bowl on ESPN SD, not HD and the screen went black and the dreaded loading circle showed Up. Now the only channel that works is The Weather Channel. If it goes as usual, in about 20 -30 minutes the channels will start coming back. This morning most channels were working except National Geographic and A&E,, both SD.

I just checked for updates for the Formuler Z7+ and says I am up to date. V1.2.49 and V1.9.55.

By any chance does the 20 minute disconnect happen always at the top of the hour?
...and usually 4 or 5 pm eastern (9 or 10 pm GMT)

Servers requiring a reboot usually get done then, and it has been quite often lately.

Are they a fix for this Ken? That is what is happening with the 254. If it was updated with the new 322 that says its the new 254 would that stop this? Service is almost unwatchable after the reboot happens and its EVERYDAY.

If your in pot why would you jump back into a frying pan.Might be easier to get a different brand.There are a few out there that are good choices.
