• 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.

yes i do
Received a new T3 today which was a replacement for an older model. I think it may be DOA. I plugged it in and the light was flashing green/red and then went solid green. I tried on two different TVs with different HDMI cables and signal not detected. I believe there is no output from the HDMI on the T3.
I do have a T1,T1 plus, T2 and a T3 and have never experienced something like this before. Typically it come right on and follow the set up instructions.

Any suggestion or experience in correcting?

Thanks
 
certainly sounds like a hdmi/power issue, yea.
So how to interupt the power to perhaps kick into gear?
Maybe insert a USB device and then power up the T3.. if no change unplug the USB while power is still on and reinsert it.
Do same with HDMI if no changes.
If still no change then you could try a Manual reset.

But one question. Do you still have the correct power supply being used on tat T3 ?
The T3 uses the 12V adapter as apposed to other Dreamlink models, which use the 5v adapter.
