Before You Start
Formuler boxes use the built-in MyTVOnline app, which makes setup simple. Enigma2 receivers (Zgemma, Vu+, Dreambox and similar) are more technical and use an IPTV plugin. If you're not comfortable with Enigma2, message us and we'll guide you step by step.

- Choose to add a portal or service and select Xtream Codes (or the portal type we specify).
- Enter a name ("IPTV Éire"), the server URL, your username and password.
- Save and connect. Your channels and TV guide will load.

Formuler & Enigma2 Troubleshooting
MyTVOnline says "connection failed"
Check the server URL, username and password, make sure your box's date and time are correct, then restart the box.

Use an Ethernet cable and restart your router. Older receivers can struggle with HD streams over Wi-Fi.
The TV guide doesn't appear
Refresh the EPG in MyTVOnline or the plugin settings, and check the box's time zone is set to Dublin.
