RAM requirements for IPTV by use case:

RAM	Use Case	Channel List Size
1 GB	Basic SD/HD only	Up to 5,000
2 GB	HD + basic 4K	Up to 30,000
3 GB	4K HDR + EPG	Up to 70,000
4 GB+	4K + VOD + EPG simultaneously	100,000+

RAM directly affects EPG loading speed and app stability when channel-switching rapidly. With 2 GB, expect occasional app reloads. With 4 GB (Formuler Z12), EPG and channel lists persist between uses without reloading.
