MAG Box IPTV setup and portal settings.
Installation Steps

- Portal 1 Name: "Premium Media".
- Portal 1 URL: Enter the portal URL we sent you.
- Save settings and restart the device.
- Channels will load automatically after restart.
Before You Start
Before setting up your MAG box, a quick check of the connections saves time later. Connect the device to your television via HDMI, and plug the power adapter directly into a socket; the USB port on some televisions cannot supply enough power, which can cause the box to restart repeatedly.
- Use a wired (Ethernet) connection where possible; if you use Wi-Fi, place the device within easy range of the router.
- Keep the portal URL and the device's MAC address we sent you at hand; both are needed during setup.
- Check that your connection speed matches the quality you plan to watch: 5 Mbps for HD, 10 Mbps for Full HD, and 25 Mbps for 4K are recommended.
- You can use the free 24-hour test broadcast to check your device's compatibility before setting it up.
Common Issues
Below are a few situations that come up during MAG setup, along with how to resolve them.
The portal page will not load or stays blank. What should I do?
First check your internet connection and cable. Make sure the portal URL is entered exactly as sent, with no extra spaces. If it still fails, restart the device; if the problem continues, check that your router's date and time are set correctly, since an incorrect clock can block the portal connection.
Where can I find my device's MAC address?
The MAC address is usually shown under System Settings > System Info (or About) on the device. It is also printed on a label on the underside of the device or on the box. This address is unique to your device and needs to be sent to us so it can be linked to your account.
The screen shows 'STB is blocked'. What does this mean?
This message appears when the device's MAC address has not yet been added to your account, or when the subscription is linked to a different device. Send us the MAC address so we can register it; a restart afterwards is usually all that is needed.
Channels open but the picture keeps freezing. What could be causing this?
This is most often down to connection speed or a weak Wi-Fi signal, so switch to a wired connection if you can. Also note that the standard subscription supports a single simultaneous connection: if the stream is already open on another device, this device may freeze or drop.
After Setup
A few small steps after setup make everyday viewing smoother. The channel list is sometimes incomplete the first time it loads and fills in automatically within a few minutes.
- The programme guide (EPG) can take a few minutes to populate; restarting the device speeds this up.
- Add the channels you watch most to your favourites so you can find them more quickly.
- If you run into any issues during or after setup, our support team is available on WhatsApp or Telegram.
- If a technical issue cannot be resolved within the first 24 hours, you are entitled to a refund.
