How to Install HomeIPTV on
MAG Boxes & Formuler
Set up your dedicated set-top box using the traditional Portal URL method. We support all Infomir MAG devices and Formuler MYTVOnline platforms.
Step-by-Step Installation
Unlike standard apps, Set-Top Boxes generally require you to register your device's MAC address with our servers before the Portal URL will work.
Find Your MAC Address
To use a MAG box or Formuler (via MAC), you first need to locate your device's unique MAC Address. It will look something like this: 00:1A:79:XX:XX:XX.
Provide this MAC address to our support team so we can activate it on our server.
- MAG Box: Flip your box upside down. You will usually find the MAC address printed on a sticker underneath. Alternatively, go to Settings > System Settings > Device Info.
- Formuler: Open the MYTVOnline app. Go to Connections > Add Portal. Your MAC address will be displayed on the screen.
- Note: Most MAG MAC addresses *must* start with `00:1A:79`.
Navigate to Portal Settings
Once your MAC is activated by our team, you need to tell your box where to look for the channels.
Use your remote to open your device's internal Portal / Server Settings menu.
- For MAG Boxes: From the main inner portal screen, click Settings > System Settings > Servers > Portals.
- For Formuler (MYTVOnline): Open MYTVOnline. Press Menu > Connections > Add Portal (or Add Server).
Enter the Portal URL
You will see empty text boxes for "Portal Name" and "Portal URL".
Enter "HomeIPTV" for the name, and carefully type the exact Portal URL we provided to you via email. Ensure you type it exactly, including `http://`.
Save and Restart
Click Save or OK. To apply the changes, you must fully restart the portal or reboot the box entirely.
Once it reboots, the loading bar should progress, and your channel list will automatically populate. You are ready to stream!
Pro Tips for Set-Top Boxes
Authentication Error
If you get a "Page Loading Error" or "Authentication Failed" message, it usually means your MAC address has not been activated yet, or there is a typo in the Portal URL you entered.
Update Firmware
Older MAG boxes might struggle to load large channel lists. Make sure your device firmware is completely up to date by checking the "Software Update" tab in your inner portal settings.
Hardwire Your Box
Set-top boxes are designed to be stationary. Do not rely on Wi-Fi. Plug an Ethernet cable directly from your internet router into the back of your MAG/Formuler for maximum stability.
