Formuler / concurrent recording · Publisher-documented guidance; UK IPTV account compatibility not tested. Instructions are based on publisher guidance; a UK IPTV account was not tested on this platform.
Separate two operations
Watching one channel while saving another asks the setup to maintain more than one activity. Before testing, confirm that recording is allowed for the source and that the account supports the necessary concurrency. Do not infer that permission from a multi-profile menu or from having added several content sources. These are different features with different consequences for an actual service account.
Confirm the documented prerequisites
Formuler’s specific guide describes this operation for supported multi-connection XC portals and M3U playlists. It also identifies the need for suitable recording storage, with a newer internal-storage exception for the Z12 Ultra. Use the model and account details together. A guide showing the feature on one box does not establish the same account allowance or storage arrangement on another.
Use a controlled change of channel
Start a short recording on the first channel, confirm the recording indication, then switch to the second channel in the manner supported by the application. Observe whether the first recording remains active. Avoid adding unrelated changes such as entering an on-demand section during this first test, because the manufacturer documents restrictions around changing sections while this operation is running.
Check the file as well as the live screen
End the experiment and play the saved sample. A second live channel appearing does not prove that the first recording continued correctly. Report the two chosen channels, the connection method, the device generation and what happened to the saved file. If this is needed regularly, obtain an explicit explanation of the applicable service allowance rather than relying on a one-off accidental result.
Questions, answered
Will an extra profile permit simultaneous recording?
A profile is not evidence of additional permitted connections. Confirm the actual account allowance and the documented connection-type requirements before planning concurrent recording and live viewing.
