Choosing between the Z11 Pro, Z11 Pro Max and Z12 Ultra? Start with the features you will use: the installed MYTVOnline version, memory, storage, network connection and included remote. This is a feature-based buying guide from Formulerstore.com, operated by FTA TRONIX INC. in Ottawa. We sell these receivers; this is not an independent benchmark test.
Which Formuler box should you choose?
- Z11 Pro: choose it when 2 GB RAM, 16 GB storage and MYTVOnline 3 meet your needs.
- Z11 Pro Max: choose it for 4 GB RAM, 32 GB storage and Wi-Fi 6 while keeping MYTVOnline 3.
- Z12 Ultra: compare it for 128 GB storage, Dolby Vision and Atmos, Wi-Fi 6E and the backlit BT3 remote, with MYTVOnline 4 available through the official update.
What is the best Formuler box in 2026?
Among the three models in this guide, the Formuler Z12 Ultra is the most feature-complete choice for buyers who want 128 GB storage, Wi-Fi 6E, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support, the backlit BT3 voice remote and MYTVOnline 4 support. The Z11 Pro Max is a practical alternative when 32 GB storage, Wi-Fi 6 and MYTVOnline 3 meet your needs, while the Z11 Pro offers the same software generation with less memory and storage. “Best” depends on the features you will actually use, so compare the current package contents and prices before ordering.
Standard Z11 packages include an IR1 remote; Bluetooth voice control is offered in the separate BT1 editions. No channels or programming are included with these receivers — they are hardware only.

Compare current prices and remote packages
Open the Z11 Pro price and IR1 package, Z11 Pro Max price and IR1 package or Z12 Ultra price and BT3 package for the current USD offer and availability. For Bluetooth voice control on a Z11, compare the Z11 Pro BT1 Edition and Z11 Pro Max BT1 Edition. Prices and promotions can change; compare like-for-like packages before choosing.
Formuler Z11 Pro vs Pro Max: what changes?
The Z11 Pro Max doubles the Z11 Pro’s memory from 2 GB to 4 GB and storage from 16 GB to 32 GB, and adds Wi-Fi 6 instead of Wi-Fi 5. Both use the Realtek RTD1319C processor, Android 11 and MYTVOnline 3, with Gigabit Ethernet and HDR10+ support. Choose the Pro when its capacity meets your needs; compare the Pro Max when the extra memory, storage or wireless features matter. A BT1 edition changes the remote, not those receiver specifications. More memory does not add channels or programming.
Formuler Z11 Pro Max vs Z12 Ultra: should you upgrade?
Both have 4 GB of memory. The Z12 Ultra increases advertised storage from 32 GB to 128 GB and adds Android 12, Wi-Fi 6E, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos and a backlit BT3 remote. The standard Z11 Pro Max includes IR1; its separate BT1 edition includes a Bluetooth voice remote. Picture and sound features require compatible equipment, content and apps.

MYTVOnline 4 is available for the Z12 series through Formuler’s official update; an older Z12 Ultra may need updating. Consider upgrading when you need these specific features, rather than assuming every app will run faster. A working Z11 Pro Max can remain a suitable choice when MYTVOnline 3 and its existing connections meet your requirements.
Also compare the Z12 Pro and Z12 Ultra SE. The SE also supports internal recording and timeshift, so recording alone is not a reason to rule it out. Our Z12 family guide compares those options.
What a specification does not guarantee
Streaming apps: Widevine support does not establish certification by a streaming service or guarantee HD or 4K playback in every app. Check the provider’s support for your exact device and region. No channels or programming are included — the hardware is sold on its own.
Wireless and recording: a newer Wi-Fi label does not automatically fix buffering. Check signal quality at the installation point and consider Ethernet. Recording depends on supported storage, app functions and service permissions; back up a drive before formatting it.
Useful life: this guide does not promise five years of updates, identical app performance or a guaranteed resale value. Check official releases for the specific model rather than inferring an update commitment from its Android version.
Use the setup guide for your MYTVOnline version
- Z11 Pro and Z11 Pro Max: follow our MYTVOnline 3 setup guide for content-source connections, the programme guide and recording help. This also applies to the BT1 editions, which use the same receiver software.
- Z12 Ultra: after installing Formuler’s official MYTVOnline 4 update, follow the MYTVOnline 4 setup guide. Check the installed version first; an older unit may still have MYTVOnline 3.
For remote pairing and TV controls, use our BT1, BT3 and IR1 remote guide and select the remote supplied with your package.
