MAG 245	YES
MAG 250	YES
MAG 260	YES

Download and Install STB Emulator

First, you need to download and install the STB Emulator app on your Android device:

Go to the Google Play Store on your Android device.
Search for "STB Emulator" in the search bar.
Select the app and tap "Install".
Wait for the installation to complete.

Pro Tip

Make sure you're downloading the official STB Emulator app. There are several similar apps on the Play Store, so check the developer name and reviews before installing.

Configure STB Emulator Settings

After installing the app, you need to configure it with the right settings:

Open the STB Emulator app. You'll see your MAC address displayed on the screen.
Tap near the top right corner of the screen and then click Settings (the 4th icon from the right).
Tap Profiles.
Tap Test portal to modify the existing profile or Add profile to start a new one.
Tap STB Model.
Select MAG 250 or whichever STB you wish to emulate from the list.

Note

It's important to remember your MAC address as it may be needed for registering your device with your IPTV service provider.

Enter Portal Settings

Now you need to enter your IPTV service provider's portal information:

Tap Portal settings.
Enter your Portal URL in the field provided. (This URL should be in your activation email)
Click OK to save.

Pro Tip

Double-check your portal URL for accuracy. Even small typos can prevent the app from connecting to your IPTV service.

Set Screen Resolution

Setting the appropriate screen resolution ensures optimal display quality:

Go back to the main settings menu.
Tap Screen Resolution.
Choose 1280×720 for standard performance.
If your internet connection is fast (16+ Mbps), you can select a higher resolution for better quality.

Note

Higher resolutions provide better picture quality but require more bandwidth. If you experience buffering, try lowering the resolution.

Restart and Enjoy

After configuring all settings, you need to restart the app:

Exit the STB Emulator app completely.
Relaunch the app.
Wait for the app to initialize and connect to your IPTV service.
You should now see your channel list and be able to access your IPTV content.

Pro Tip

If you don't see your channels after restart, check your internet connection and verify that your subscription is active with your IPTV provider.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with STB Emulator, here are some common troubleshooting steps:

Restart the app - Close the app completely and relaunch it.
Restart your device - Sometimes a simple device restart can resolve connection issues.
Restart your Wi-Fi router - Network issues are a common cause of streaming problems.
Check your internet connection - Make sure your device has a stable and strong internet connection.
Verify your subscription - Contact your IPTV provider to ensure your subscription is active.

Note

If you continue to experience issues after trying these troubleshooting steps, try clearing the app's cache and data, or reinstalling the app.

Alternative Setup: Direct MAG Device Connection

Connect MAG Device to TV and Internet

If you have a physical MAG device instead of using the STB Emulator, follow these steps:

Connect your MAG device to your TV using an HDMI cable.
Connect the MAG device to the Internet via Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi.
Power on both your TV and the MAG device.

Configure Portal Settings

Once your MAG device is connected, you need to configure the portal settings:

Go to: Settings —> System Settings —> Servers —> Portals
Set Portal 1: NOVA IPTV
Set Portal 1 URL: (see your E-mail)
Set Portal 2 Name: leave this empty (add this only if you order a second subscription)
Set Portal 2 URL: leave this empty (add this only if you order a second subscription)
Save everything

Pro Tip

Most MAG devices have a remote control. Use the navigation buttons to move through the menu options and the OK button to select items.

Reboot Device and Watch

After configuring the portal settings:

Reboot your MAG device.
After the device restarts, wait until the TV screen shows the channels.
Use the remote control to navigate and select channels to watch.

Note

If you experience any issues, try the same troubleshooting steps mentioned earlier: restart your device, check your internet connection, and verify your subscription status.
