Formuler Z7+

[NoName]

Has anyone had a chance to test it out? I am hoping to get my hands on nice pvr box. Buzz is okay but I would like something more dependable. Anyone try out the Formuler z7+?

i have both and if I have to decide which one to keep, it would be buzz. Don't get me wrong, they both have their pros and cons.

Z7+ recording is one button push, playing recorded program is seamless, you can change picture settings in more than one way. It seems the picture quality is a tad better than buzz's.
Cons: Audio issues with some audio formats ( need to download audio codec to make it work), booting time sometimes takes forever ( found a workaround after a very long time). Issues with certain SD Cards. EPG slow to load ( the fix is coming end of March).
Rrecentny, issues with loading OK2 server on Z7+

It it took me a long time to resolve all of this and I am quite happy with it, hence keeping it :).
Buzz is very simple to setup and I recommend it to all of my friends so I don't spend time fixing their z7+. I know, it is selfish...

like I said earlier, I like both boxes but if I have to pick only one to keep, it would be Buzztv.

Thanks Shoma for the very helpful and detailed reply. I like the Buzz a great deal. My only complaint is that I wish it had one touch recording. And sometimes when I set it to record shows, the shows aren't there. But maybe that is more of a server thing.

Yes, one touch recording is one big plus for z7+.
If we combine all good features of both boxes, it would ba a perfect one :)
That’s why I keep both. Z7+ is perfect for me to record early English soccer games.

And I really hope the upcoming update will resolve the current issues. Will keep you in the loop.

Cheers!

I have the formuler Z7+& do not have the problems you are having. The SD card has to be formatted to NFTS as mine was having problems before I formatted it. The guide is a little slow. But overall is a pretty decent box.

[android fun]

can you side load apps like the terrarium tv or show box?
dose it have a built in wifi?

on the old dreamlink t1 you had a last channel memory so it showed the last 10 channels you had click on so say a person who likes to watch 3 shows at a time because they hate commercials its a bonus do they have this with the z7+

oh just one more.

is there any big differences between the z7 and the t2? other then the ram.




i only ask i have an opportunity for a t2 for 100 or the z7+ for 120
who should i pick
