MYTVOnline Explained: Versions, Features and Which Formuler Box Runs Which (2026)
Share
Short answer: MYTVOnline is Formuler's built-in live-TV application. It is the reason people choose a Formuler box over a generic Android TV stick: an electronic program guide, timeshift, recording and picture-in-picture, all tied to whatever TV service you subscribe to. There are three current versions. MYTVOnline 4 ships on the Z12 Pro and Z12 Ultra SE, MYTVOnline 3 on the Z12 Ultra, Z mini, Z11 Pro Max and Z11 Pro, and MYTVOnline 2 on the Z10 series and the GTV.
What MYTVOnline is, and what it is not
MYTVOnline is a player. It organises live channels, an on-screen guide and on-demand libraries supplied by your TV service provider, and it adds DVR-style features on top. It does not include any channels, subscriptions or content of its own, and Formuler.vip does not sell TV subscriptions. You enter the connection details your provider gives you, and MYTVOnline does the rest.
Which Formuler box ships with which MYTVOnline version
| MYTVOnline version | Formuler boxes (as listed by Formuler) | Android base |
|---|---|---|
| MYTVOnline 4 | Z12 Ultra SE, Z12 Pro | Android 12 |
| MYTVOnline 3 | Z12 Ultra, Z mini, Z11 Pro Max, Z11 Pro | Android 11 / 12 |
| MYTVOnline 2 | Z10, Z10 Neo, Z10 SE, GTV | Android 10 / Android TV 12 |
The mapping above is Formuler's own. If you are choosing a box specifically for the software, the practical rule is: MYTVOnline 4 for the newest interface and profiles, MYTVOnline 3 for the widest current hardware range.
MYTVOnline 3 features
Formuler describes MYTVOnline 3 as a redesigned, more immersive interface. The features it lists are:
- Universal search to find a channel or program quickly.
- Pinned groups: move your favourite channel groups to the top of the list.
- Notifications for events and updates.
- Backup of app data and settings to external storage.
- Timeshift: pause and rewind live TV, or restart the current program.
- Recording: record one program while watching another.
- Picture-in-picture: watch two live events at the same time.
- Game Day, a sports-oriented view.
- Media access with tight Android integration.
MYTVOnline 4 features
MYTVOnline 4 is the biggest change to the app so far. Formuler highlights:
- A new Home screen with trending content, your watch history and curated lists in one view.
- AI-powered recommendations, including mood-based discovery.
- Up to four profiles, each with its own history, preferences and recommendations.
- Faster access to content and deeper Android integration.
MYTVOnline 4 currently ships on the Z12 Pro and Z12 Ultra SE. Formuler has not published an upgrade path from MYTVOnline 3 to 4 for older boxes, so buy the box that already includes the version you want.
Catch-up, EPG and recording: what the terms mean
- EPG (electronic program guide): the on-screen schedule. MYTVOnline downloads it from your provider when it connects.
- Catch-up (replay): content your provider records on its side so you can watch a program after it aired without recording it yourself. It depends entirely on your provider.
- Timeshift: pausing and rewinding the live stream on the box.
- Recording: saving a program to the box's storage or an attached drive. The Z12 Ultra's 128 GB gives the most room; other boxes accept a microSD card or USB drive.
Which Formuler box should you buy for MYTVOnline?
- Best for MYTVOnline 4: the Z12 Ultra SE (Dolby Vision, Wi-Fi 6E, backlit BT3 remote) or the more affordable Z12 Pro.
- Best for MYTVOnline 3: the Z12 Ultra if you want the most storage and Dolby Vision, or the Z11 Pro Max BT1 for the same processor at a lower price. See our Z12 Ultra vs Z11 Pro Max comparison.
- Budget: the Z10 with MYTVOnline 2, or the compact Z mini with MYTVOnline 3.
