How to Set Up IPTV on a MAG Box – Step-by-Step Guide
The MAG Box is a popular set-top box designed specifically for IPTV services. Unlike Android-based devices, MAG Boxes use the Stalker Middleware platform, requiring only a portal URL from your IPTV provider for activation.
Below is a detailed step-by-step guide to set up your IPTV service on a MAG Box (applicable to models like MAG 254, MAG 322, MAG 420, etc.).
Step 1: Connect Your MAG Box to the Internet
Before setting up IPTV, ensure your MAG Box is properly connected:
- Wired Connection (Recommended): Plug an Ethernet cable into your router and the MAG Box.
- Wi-Fi Connection (if supported):
- Go to Settings > Network > Wireless (Wi-Fi).
- Select your network and enter the password.
Step 2: Access the MAG Box Settings
- Turn on your MAG Box and wait for it to boot.
- Using your remote, navigate to:
- Settings (Gear icon) > System Settings > Servers.
Step 3: Enter Your IPTV Portal URL
- Select “Portals”.
- In the “Portal 1 Name” field, enter a label (e.g., “My IPTV”).
- In the “Portal 1 URL” field, enter the portal URL provided by your IPTV provider.
- Leave “Portal 2” blank unless you have a backup server.
- Press “OK” or “Save” to confirm.
Step 4: Restart the MAG Box
- The device will prompt you to reboot to apply changes.
- After restarting, it will automatically load the IPTV portal.
Step 5: Log In (If Required)
- Some providers require a username & password. If prompted, enter the credentials provided by your IPTV service.
- Once authenticated, your channel list and EPG (Electronic Program Guide) will load.
