IPTV on MAG Devices

Configure a MAG set-top box for IPTV using portal settings.

Requirements

What you'll need

  • A MAG set-top box connected via ethernet (recommended over Wi-Fi for these devices)

  • Your provider's portal URL, supplied with your account

  • The device's MAC address, visible in its system info menu

Setup approach

Recommended setup approach

MAG boxes work differently from app-based devices β€” instead of installing an app, you configure the device to point at a portal URL supplied by your provider. The box's MAC address is tied to your account rather than a typed username and password.

Step by step

Installation steps

  1. 1

    Find your MAC address

    Check the box's system info menu, or the label on the device itself.

  2. 2

    Provide it to support

    Send your MAC address to our support team so it can be linked to your subscription.

  3. 3

    Enter the portal URL

    In the box's settings, enter the portal URL provided for your account.

  4. 4

    Restart the device

    Reboot the box to load your channel list from the portal.

Configuration

Configuration information

MAG configuration is portal- and MAC-address-based rather than username/password-based β€” contact support with your device's MAC address to get the correct portal URL for your account.

Troubleshooting

Common issues

Box shows no channels after setup

Confirm the portal URL was entered exactly as provided and that your MAC address was registered to your account.

Frequent disconnects on Wi-Fi

Use a wired ethernet connection where possible β€” MAG boxes are generally more stable on ethernet than Wi-Fi.

FAQ

MAG questions

No β€” MAG devices are configured through their system settings using a portal URL, not through an app store.

Contact support to re-link the device's MAC address if you need to change accounts.
