MAG Box and Formuler IPTV Setup with a Portal URL and MAC Address

Have these ready first

• An Infomir MAG box (such as the 520, 524, 540 or 544 series) or a Formuler Z-series box
• The MAC address from the sticker under the box, or a clear photo of that sticker
• A King IPTV plan or the free 24-hour trial, with "MAG / portal" requested as the login type
• An Ethernet cable to the router; only "w" models such as the MAG 524w3 have built-in Wi-Fi
• The box remote, with fresh batteries

Registering the box and entering the portal

Steps 1, 2 and 9 apply to both brands; 3 to 5 are MAG only, 6 to 8 Formuler only.

1. Read the MAC address off the box

   Turn the box over and find the MAC label: six pairs of characters, such as 00:1A:79:xx:xx:xx. A MAG also lists it under Settings > System settings > Device info. Formuler shows its MAC on the sticker and on the portal connection screen in MyTVOnline 3.

2. Send the MAC to King IPTV

   Paste it into Live Chat or your order notes; a sticker photo avoids 0/O and 8/B mix-ups. We register the box and reply with your portal URL, normally within 15 to 30 minutes during support hours.

3. MAG: open Servers, then Portals

   Press the Setup button on the remote, or go to Settings > System settings. Choose Servers, then Portals. You will see fields for Portal 1 and Portal 2.

4. MAG: fill in Portal 1 name and Portal 1 URL

   Type "King IPTV" as Portal 1 name. In Portal 1 URL enter the address from our reply character by character, including http://, the port and the ending (often /c/). Press OK on the remote to save.

5. MAG: restart the portal

   Back in System settings, pick Restart portal, or unplug the box for ten seconds. The King IPTV portal should then load.

6. Formuler: open Content Sources in MyTVOnline 3

   Start MyTVOnline 3, open Menu > Content Manager > Content Sources and choose Add Portal. Labels shift slightly between firmware versions.

7. Formuler: add the portal with the MAC method

   Type a Portal Nickname such as "King IPTV" and paste the Portal URL we sent. Leave the username and password login off, since the MAC identifies the box. Select Connect.

8. Formuler alternative: sign in with Xtream Codes

   Rather skip MAC registration? Add a portal as above, switch the login on, and enter the server URL, username and password from your email. That login can later move to another device.

9. Check channels, guide and clock

   Play a channel, then open the guide. Listings hours away from real time mean the clock or time zone is wrong (fix below). If an older MAG 254 browses slowly, ask us for English Channels Only.

What to do when the portal does not load

A portal that will not load usually means a URL typo or a MAC not registered yet.

1. Open Servers > Portals again and compare the URL with our message: every slash, colon and number.
2. Confirm we replied that the MAC is active. Before that, no URL will work.
3. Test the network: on a MAG, System settings > Network should show Ethernet set to automatic (DHCP) with an address.

Infomir’s system settings documentation maps every menu on Linux MAG models.

Why does my box say STB blocked?

"STB blocked" means the server reached the box but refuses its MAC address. The usual reasons:

• The MAC sent to us differs from the one in Device info, often a single wrong character.
• A Wi-Fi address was sent instead of the main MAC on the sticker.
• The plan or trial has ended. Renew with "Extend subscription" at checkout to keep the same MAC.

Send a photo of the sticker and of the Device info screen in Live Chat and we compare them with what is registered.

Fixing the clock, time zone and TV guide on MAG and Formuler

A wrong clock pushes the guide off by hours and breaks catch-up, so set the time zone where you live. On a MAG, go to System settings > Advanced settings > Time zone; the time server is under Servers > General > NTP server, and the default normally works. On a Formuler, open the Android settings, choose Date & time and turn on network time.

Saskatchewan catches people out: choosing Winnipeg puts the guide an hour off half the year. See also our EPG troubleshooting article.

MAG or Formuler: which login method should you use?

On a MAG, the portal and MAC are the only way in. On a Formuler, both work: the MAC portal is quick to type, while Xtream Codes is easier if you might change boxes or run the login in a TiviMate setup later. Formuler’s own help article on MyTVOnline portals covers MAC, Xtream and M3U types.
