MAG IPTV Box and Formuler Setup Guide

MAG and Formuler are set-top boxes built for IPTV, so you don't need to download a player: the IPTV menu is already on the box. You only add the login we send you for our 4K IPTV service. The menus are different on each brand, so this guide covers them one by one.

Not sure which box you have? The brand is printed on the front of the box and shown when it starts up.

Set up IPTV on a MAG box

  1. Option 1: use a portal (recommended)

    Recommended
    1. Send us your box's MAC address on WhatsApp. You'll find it on the sticker under the box (it starts with 00:1A:79).

    2. We activate it and send you a portal URL.

    3. On the box, go to Settings › Servers › Portals, enter a portal name and the URL, then save and restart the box.

  1. Option 2: add your M3U link

    1. On the MAG home screen, open IPTV channels.

    2. Press Menu on the remote.

    3. Select Add IPTV list.

    4. Leave the encoding on UTF-8.

    5. Enter your M3U link in the URL field, exactly as we sent it.

    6. Select Save (OK) and open the new list.

Menus can vary with the firmware on your MAG. If your screen looks different, send us a photo on WhatsApp.

Set up IPTV on Formuler with MYTVOnline

Find the source menu for your version

MYTVOnline 2:

MYTVOnline 3:

MYTVOnline 4:

  1. Add your Xtream Codes login

    1. In the source menu, add a new portal or source.

    2. Enter a nickname (for example "Strong IPTV Fox") and the server URL.

    3. Turn on the login option, then enter your username and password.

    4. Select Connect and wait for your channels and guide to load.

  1. Or add an M3U link

    1. In the source menu, open Playlists and select Add Play List.

    2. Paste your M3U link and, if we sent one, the EPG link for the TV guide.

    3. Select Connect.

Field and button names can change slightly between MYTVOnline versions.

Get the buffer right on Formuler

In MYTVOnline 2 and 3, go to Menu › Settings › Player Options › Buffer time (version 4 has it in the profile settings). There's no single perfect value:

  • Strong, stable connection: keep the buffer short so channels start faster.
  • Weaker or busy connection: set a longer buffer so playback doesn't stop.

If channels freeze, raise the buffer one step at a time and test again.

Tips for smooth IPTV on your box

  • Use the Ethernet port. MAG and Formuler boxes have one, and a cable is the most stable option for 4K.
  • Restart the box after changing the login or the buffer.
  • Keep the firmware or MYTVOnline updated from the box's settings.
  • Prefer TiviMate? Most Formuler models have Google Play, so you can follow our IPTV box and Android TV guide instead.

MAG and Formuler questions

Do MAG boxes need an app for IPTV?

No. MAG boxes have the IPTV menu built in. You only add a portal (we activate your box's MAC address) or your M3U link.

Which is better for IPTV, MAG or Formuler?

Both are made for IPTV. Formuler is more flexible because MYTVOnline accepts Xtream Codes directly and most models also run Android apps such as TiviMate. MAG is simple and stable with a portal.

Where do I find my MAC address?

On the sticker under or behind the box, and in the box's settings under device or system information.

Why does my Formuler menu look different from this guide?

Formuler has released several versions of MYTVOnline. Check your version and use the matching menu path above.

Can I use my subscription on my box and my phone at the same time?

One account streams on one screen at a time. To watch on both at once, choose 2 screens on our IPTV subscription page.
