• 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.

go to settings, click on update, you will see no update available. on that screen just type 0227 you will see red button pop up @ right bottom corner or just press ok after 0227 and press red button and you will be able to download.:)
 
I have done the software update but now by box will not load right everytime it starts up it just goes to the software update screen and says the that the current software is the latest. I have checked to make sure that my startup app is MYTV ONLINE2 I have done a number of factory resets and if I chance the startup app it will go to that app but the MYtv online2 app will not load. even if I try and load Mytv online2 after the box has booted up it still just goes to the software update screen any help????????????????
 
uninstall the mol and then factory reset and then reinstall mol and then retry installing firmware (use the 0227 code and the red button for beta update)

did you factory reset first ?
This is exactly how I did it and others with success.

After your factory reset, uninstall MOL.
Then re-install MOL then go to Update and update to the beta MOL.
 
when I do the factory mol is removed and I have to go into the market and reinstall it anyway. when I first boot up after a factory reset MOL is not there on the main screen
 
when you have the MOL installed, go into My Apps and uninstall it thru that menu as appossed to the market. Then reinstall thru Market

try it that way
 
so we have to go withthe mol2 now ? is that how they r gonna do the firmware updates now ?

of all the Formuler boxes, currently only the z8 has the MOL2 available, but no you do not have to install it.
This issue that we been discussing here is not a new issue. It happened to my z8 a few updates ago but I was able to get passed that and this latest update went off without a glitch for me.
But I have seen one other along with 382130, with this same issue with this newest update.
