• The Sticky threads for the Dreamlink T3 and the Formuler Z8 devices can be shared.
    These devices are exact same devices, all except their name and gift boxing.
  • I see people with this MAC issue often.
    The thing is that the service wants the MAC of the IPTV application that the device is using to connect to the service and not the actual device's MAC
    The IPTV application would be the DOL or MOL application and it's MAC will always starts with 00:1a:79
    If you noticed that the device's MAC and the IPTV MAC (DOL or MOL) have the same last 6 digits, but the first 6 are different. The first six is what tells the server to recognize the MAC. It will not recognize the device's MAC since it does not begin with 00:1a:79 ... nor does the device itself connect to the service, the DOL or MOL does.

Delete groups

You can add or delete any new Groups created by you, there is a Sticky thread about that.
But can you can not delete the excisting Groups that are seen thru LiveTV or VODs


Only way really would be that you could get a hard copy of the Playlist (LiveTV and VODs) and open that list for editing thru Notepad editor on your PC's desktop.
Then remove the channels you want to remove and save the work.

Use that edited hard copy thru the Playlist setup menus.
You can add EPG Urls in there as well.

There is a downside to this thou.
If and when there are channel changes done at the service level, then you would not see those changes until you get a new hardcopy from the service and do the editing again and then use that copy.

It is not as difficult as it sounds and if wanting to remove a category for good reason, like the 'Adults' category so your children do not accidentally open those channels, then it might be well worth the effort :)

But also you can add or change the lock out password for any channel.

One thing to note is that them PPV channels get updated with changes often and with the hardcopy that was not updated, you'd still get the new selections that were added, but it would be that you would not see the new names of the channel, they'd always show the name as it was when you downloaded the hardcopy.


I did not know you could delete Groups from other models :eek:
 
Well, I should of said T1 plus you can edit groups. Press Group button > red button> it pulls up a box that allows to uncheck groups which stay hidden. You can add them back if needed.

I don't know how to upload a photo of it.

It would be great if it would get added to an update in the future on the T3.
 
To upload photos, use a file host site and then paste the shared link here in coded form.
mediafire.com is what I use.
It asks for your name and email to register with, but you can give a false name and a false email (as log as the email is from a legit service).

But ... I see what you are referring to and no need for a picture.

I will try and get this request to the guys at Dreamlink or we might have to talk to the Formuler guys, but I will look into that.
