How to Set Up IPTV on a MAG Box (Portal URL Setup)

Connect your MAG 322, 424, 524 or other MAG set-top box to IPTV with a portal address. Find the MAC address, add the portal and fix common errors.

MAG boxes (made by Infomir) are classic IPTV set-top boxes. They do not use a username and password like apps do. Instead, the box is registered by its MAC address, and you type a portal address in its settings.

Step 1: Send us your MAC address

Turn the box over: the MAC address is printed on the sticker underneath. It starts with 00:1A:79. Send it to us on WhatsApp or Telegram when you order or ask for a trial, and tell us it is for a MAG box. We link your subscription to that MAC and reply with your portal URL.

Step 2: Open the system settings

  1. Turn on the box and wait for the loading screen.
  2. Press SET (or SETUP) on the remote. On some boxes, choose Settings from the home menu.
  3. Open System settings → Servers → Portals.

Step 3: Add the portal

  1. In Portal 1 name, type any name, for example "Siva".
  2. In Portal 1 URL, type the portal address exactly as we sent it, including http://, the port and the final slash if there is one.
  3. Press OK to save, go back and choose Restart portal (or reboot the box).

The box loads the portal and shows the live TV, video club and series menus.

  • Network: MAG boxes work best with an Ethernet cable. Wi-Fi adapters on older models are slow.
  • Video: in System settings → Video, set the output resolution to match your TV (1080p or 4K on MAG 524), and enable frame rate matching if available.
  • Time zone: set the right time zone, or the TV guide will be shifted.

Common errors

  • "STB is blocked" or "Authentication failed": the MAC is not activated yet, or the subscription expired. Send us a photo of the error and the sticker.
  • "Loading portal" forever: check the portal address for typos and make sure the cable is connected.
  • No TV guide: wait 10 minutes after the first start, then reboot.

Frequently asked questions

Can I move my subscription to a new MAG box?

Yes. Send us the new box's MAC address and we update it.

Which MAG boxes still work well?

MAG 322, 324, 349, 424, 520 and 524 are all fine. The 424 and 524 support 4K and are faster.

Can I use apps on a MAG box?

Newer Android-based MAG models can, but the portal method in this guide works on every MAG.
