Other Devices Setup Guide
MAG and Formuler boxes are built specifically for IPTV, and they connect differently from an app on a stick or a TV. Instead of downloading a player, you point the box at a portal or enter a login inside its built-in app. MAG and Formuler work slightly differently, so follow the section for your box.
| Works on | MAG boxes and Formuler boxes |
|---|---|
| App | None to install — the box has a built-in portal or the MYTVOnline app |
| Login | Portal URL (MAG), or a portal, Xtream Codes login, or M3U link (Formuler) |
| MAC address | Needed for portal setups — support links it to your account |
| Setup time | About 10 minutes |
A MAG box is a portal box: it loads your channels from a portal address you enter in its system settings, and the box’s MAC address is how the service recognizes it. Formuler boxes run Android and include an IPTV app called MYTVOnline, which can add a portal, an Xtream Codes login, or an M3U link. Formuler’s own documentation lists all three, and says the box supplies no content of its own — the details come from your IPTV provider.
That means a Formuler owner has a choice. A portal setup works like a MAG box and needs your MAC ID linked to your account. An Xtream Codes login needs no MAC registration at all, which makes it the quickest route if you have your username, password, and server URL from My Account.
For any portal setup, support needs your box’s MAC address so it can be linked to your account. On the box, look under Settings → System Info (the menu name varies by model), or on the label on the underside. Formuler describes the MAC ID used for portals as starting with 00:1A. Send it to support before you set up, and use the box’s portal MAC, not the MAC of its Wi-Fi adapter.
Follow the MAG steps or the Formuler steps.
What to check when a box will not connect.
| Problem | What to try |
|---|---|
| The box shows a portal error or no channels | Check that support has linked your MAC address, that you sent the box’s portal MAC, and that the portal URL is typed exactly. |
| I do not know which MAC to send | Use the MAC shown in the box’s system or portal screen or on its label, not the Wi-Fi adapter’s. |
| Formuler will not connect with a portal | Try an Xtream Codes login instead: it needs only your server URL, username, and password from My Account. |
| I cannot find Content Sources in MYTVOnline | The menu name depends on the version: Connections in 2, Content Manager in 3, App Settings in 4. |
| Buffering | Use Ethernet, restart the box, and follow the buffering guide. |
A MAG box is portal-only. Formuler boxes run Android with the MYTVOnline app, which can use a portal, an Xtream Codes login, or an M3U link.
For portal setups the MAC address identifies your box, so it can be linked to your account.
No. An Xtream Codes login on a Formuler needs only the server URL, username, and password.
No. They supply the hardware and app; the channels come from your IPTV subscription.
Yes, up to your plan’s simultaneous-stream limit.
