IPTV UK on a MAG box

A MAG box has no username or password. It is tied to its own MAC address, so we register that first and the portal fills afterwards.

Setup is free. Message us and we do these steps with you.

1

Send us the MAC address

It is on the label under the box and in System Settings, in the form 00:1A:79:XX:XX:XX. Send it on WhatsApp before anything else; nothing loads until it is registered.

Open the portal settings

  1. 1.Once the box is up, open Settings, or hit SETUP or SET on the remote.
  2. 2.Go to System Settings, then Servers, then Portals.

Enter the portal

  1. 1.Portal 1 Name: anything you like.
  2. 2.Portal 1 URL: the address we sent you on WhatsApp.
  3. 3.Press OK to save.

Set the clock and restart

  1. 1.In System Settings, open the time or NTP section.
  2. 2.Enter uk.pool.ntp.org.
  3. 3.Leave the settings and choose Restart Portal.
Worth knowing. A missing time server is the usual reason a MAG shows a blank guide. Without the right time the box cannot match programmes to channels.

A MAG is activated by its MAC, so the address always comes first. Formuler boxes do the same through MYTV Online, and BuzzTV boxes use a near-identical portal setup. Read the channel list before buying hardware.
