• 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.

Anyone having issue with EPG on the latest release ?

Usually I see EGP downloading on the top right when I boot up the box and its not coming anymore.
And Don't see the EPG preloaded until I click on the channel and start watching.
Other than that, I love the new interface and feature added. Thanks DL :)

are you using the EPG from the service or is it another EPG source?

I had a bit of trouble with EPG not loading, but when the EPG guide is open and I am at the beginning of the channel list, it did populate.

Im using the server EPG.
Sorry can't reproduce the issue as Im on the latest firmware and seems DL has fixed the issue.

Thank you Crazed for keep us up to date,with software changes

my pleasure :)

The Z8 received the same update, but the Z8 also now has a Bluetooth Remote that can be bought separately and there is an app for that which is found in the Market.
However, there was a glitch with that app which tended to mess up the download of this new firmware. To fix that you would have to delete that Remote app and then go ahead with the firmware update and then re-install the remote app (which has a new and fixed version in the Market ready for download).
But I do not think any of that applies to the T3, I do not see the new Remote app in the Dreamlink Market but I do see it in the Formuler Z8 Market.
But word of warning, if by chance you do have that BT app installed, you might wanna delete it for now before updating this new firmware.

I updated both the T3 and the Z8 here and did not have any issues.
I never did install the first BT Remote app thou, so I figured I would not have any issues.

New Firmware working like a champ on the T3 :)

You may see an update today @ Feb 16, 2021
This update is a HotFix Official update for the v7.10.2 MOL2 update.
It is mostly to address a few things with the Formuler CC model and you can see them notes thru your onscreen update menu.

I did load this onto my T3 this morning even thou the T3 did not need it, but as it was an Official release, I wanted to get rid of the official Update notification and of course test the file for us.

Loaded fine with no issues, as expected.
Firmware v1.4.80
IPTV MOL2 v7.10.4
