How to set up an IPTV MAG box
MAG boxes and Formuler boxes are dedicated IPTV set-top boxes with a cable-style remote. They connect to your IPTV service using the box’s MAC address and a portal URL. Here is how to set one up.
MAG boxes (by Infomir) and Formuler boxes are popular with households that want IPTV to feel like a traditional cable box. Instead of typing a username and password, the box is registered to your subscription by its MAC address, a unique code printed on a sticker underneath.
What you need
- A MAG box (such as MAG 524 or 544) or a Formuler box
- The MAC address from the sticker on the bottom of the box (it starts with 00:1A:79 on MAG boxes)
- An IPTV Plus Canada plan or trial
Step 1: Send us your MAC address
- Turn the box over and find the MAC on the sticker.
- Send it to us on WhatsApp with your order or trial request. We register it and send you a portal URL.
Step 2: Enter the portal on a MAG box
- Turn on the box and press Settings on the remote (or SET).
- Open System settings → Servers → Portals.
- Enter “IPTV Plus” as Portal 1 name and paste the portal URL into Portal 1 URL.
- Save, go back and choose Restart portal. Your channels load after a minute.
On a Formuler box
- Open MyTVOnline, choose Add portal, and enter the portal name and URL we send.
- Select the portal to load your channels and guide.
Troubleshooting
- Buffering: restart the device and router, then try an ethernet cable or move the router closer. Most buffering is Wi-Fi, not the service.
- “STB blocked” or “Portal not found”: check the MAC address we registered matches the sticker exactly, and that the portal URL has no extra spaces.
- Old MAG 250/254 boxes: they still work but struggle with HD menus and 4K. A newer model or a Fire TV Stick is a cheap upgrade.
