The setup, one step at a time
Find the MAC address
It is on the label underneath the box and under Settings, About device. On a MAG it begins 00:1A:79. Send it to us on WhatsApp and wait for confirmation before going on.
MAG: enter the portal URL
Go to Settings, System settings, Servers, Portals. Give Portal 1 any name, paste the portal address we sent, save, and restart the box. Nothing works until that restart.
Formuler: use MyTVOnline
Open MyTVOnline 2 or 3, choose Add Portal, and supply a name and the portal address. Or pick Xtream Codes and use the standard login instead. Formuler will also run Android players such as TiViMate if you would rather.
Watch
After the restart the box loads the 25,000+ channels with its built-in guide, and the colour buttons on the remote handle favourites and the EPG.
When something will not play
Portal shows "STB blocked" or a blank screen
Either the MAC is not activated yet, or a character slipped when it was sent. Photograph the label and send the picture rather than retyping it; that clears it within minutes in nearly every case.

Questions about MAG and Formuler box
Is a MAG box better than a Firestick for IPTV?
On a main television used every day, yes: a better remote, a faster guide, and nothing ever to sideload. It runs $120 to $180 against $30 to $50 for a stick. On a bedroom set the stick is the better value and no one will tell the difference.
