In this article we are going to explain the systems which IPTV providers use to stream IPTV channels.
There are 2 common system:

• M3U url base devices
• Portal system devices

For portal system you need to give your box MAC address to IPTV provider and they will give you a portal address after add MAC address in their database.

In M3U url system, the IPTV provider send you a url to setup IPTV and no need to add any MAC address in their system.

The portal base devices like old MAG boxes or TVIP boxes are not the best devices to watch IPTV. The portal system will disappear from market soon because it’s NOT secure and efficient.

If we want to list some old model of these devices we can mention MAG 250, MAG 254, MAG 256 , TVIP 410 and etc.
Even in the new model of MAG boxes, there is problem with portal system too. The IPTV providers do not support MAG 420 or MAG 520 with portal system because of different Stalker Middleware.

We will explain 3 easy solutions to replace portal base boxes:

Setup IPTV on Smart TV

If you have a Smart TV in any brand Samsung, LG, Sony and etc, replace your portal base box with it to watch IPTV.

MAG Box is a popular brand of IPTV set-top boxes that is used to access streaming content. Like any electronic device, MAG Boxes may encounter some problems from time to time.

MAG Box Problems

We usually face with some specific issues in MAG boxes.
The 2 prevalent error messages we meet are:

• STB blocked or Black Screen
• Page Loading Error
• Loading bar stuck

In this article we are gong to solve these problems.

How to setup a MAG box?

STB blocked (Black Screen)

STB blocked on MAG happens for various types of reasons. we are going to make a list and explain all of the possible reasons.
Note: Recently in some MAG boxes we have only a Black Screen instead of STB blocked error message.

MAC address didn’t add to the subscription or Removed

For MAG boxes it’s necessary to add the box MAC to the IPTV subscription. What is MAC address in MAG devices?
Privileged IPTV providers give you a dashboard to can edit your IPTV subscription, in the dashboard you can add the MAC or check if it’s still on subscription or not.
And if there is not any dashboard, need to contact IPTV provider about this case.

Adding a wrong MAC address

If you somehow by a mistake add a wrong MAC address to your IPTV dashboard, there is a 100% chance you might see this error on your screen.So we highly suggest you double check every character and number you added to your panel from the back side of your MAG device.

Line expired

If your IPTV subscription is expired, you will face the STB blocked (Black Screen) error on your screen. So head back to your IPTV dashboard and double check if your subscription is expired or not and extend the line if it’s expired.

Line disabled

IPTV providers block (disable) the subscriptions which use in more than allowed devices simultaneously. So should check the line by IPTV service if it has been blocked or not.

ISP blockage

One more reason that STB blocked (Black Screen) error might occur is ISP blockage. In this case, we suggest you contact your Internet Service Provider and ask for further information. You can also try with another internet connection such as a 4G connection from your phone to make sure about this issue.
The last solution for ISP blockage is using a reliable VPN service, but please note that for MAG boxes you need special router to install VPN on it.

Adding a wrong portal address

Exactly identical to the first reason, if you add a wrong portal address to your MAG box, there is a 100% chance that you might see this error again. Now find out the correct portal address by asking from your IPTV provider and it to your MAG device. How can I change the portal address in the MAG box?

Page Loading Error

Mostly this problem occurs because of a problem in internet connection.

On the Page Loading Error Screen, it will say “Ethernet Link: UP” if all is ok or “DOWN” if the Ethernet port is not connected to the router. In addition, it would be possible that your Internet connection does not work well, so you have to check whether Internet access is available.

How to solve this Issue

Firstly this error usually occurs as a result of the lack of Internet connection to the setup box. you need to be sure that the Ethernet cable between your STB and the router is plugged.

The LAN light on the router port which is connected to the back of your STB has to be lit. Also, check the connection on the back of the setup box itself, there should be 2 lights on the connection itself where the cable is plugged into the setup box, one orange and the other is green.
If either the light on the router or the lights on the STB ports do not lit, there should be a connection issue and it is highly recommended to change the Ethernet cable.

If even after these changes the problem still exists, the next step is to unplug both the router and setup box power cables. After unplugging, plug back the router power cable at first and after two minutes plug in the STB power cable.

If your router places in one room and your setup box is in another room and connected to the router via the Ethernet line, please check the lights on the sockets. If this is not lighted, the power line has lost its wireless connection to the router and you will need to reboot both the router and then the power line.

Once the light is back, you have to reboot the setup boxtoo. If the light is lit and the STB is still stuck on the loading screen, you need to make sure that the power line has the LAN light on the front.

Loading bar stuck on the MAG box

Sometimes when the users try to switch a loading message appears on the screen. This issue can be tackled by rebooting both the modem and the STB.

There are numerous possible reasons for this:

• Slow Internet – This is largely caused by due by a weak Wi-Fi signal, too many users on the network, hardware problems, or a bad ISP.
• Location – The channel you want to watch is based in another country and is either outright blocked or isn’t set up to effectively stream to your region.
• ISP throttling – Your ISP has a policy to slow down IPTV or streaming traffic to conserve bandwidth.
• Service is down – The channel or IPTV service itself is experiencing technical issues or has ceased streaming. 
• Weak processor – Your device or Smart TV is old and underpowered for modern IPTV apps.
• Outdated app – Your IPTV app is out of date or no longer maintained.

What is Catch-up in IPTV?

In IPTV, catch-up refers to the ability to access previously aired TV programs and watch them on-demand. This means that if you missed a TV show or live event, you can go back and watch it later at your convenience, as if you had recorded it.

The catch-up feature is often combined with other IPTV features such as pause, rewind, and fast-forward, giving you complete control over your viewing experience. Overall, catch-up is a useful feature for IPTV subscribers who want to watch their favorite TV shows on their own schedule.

Catch-up services are particularly useful for live events, such as sports matches or concerts, which you may have missed due to other commitments. With catch-up, you can watch the event later, without having to worry about spoilers or missing out on the action.

For example on channel X the catch-up option is active for 48 hours, it means you can watch all programs on this channel in past 2 days anytime you want. If you missed your favorite series or football match which showed last night, you can see it the channel history catch-up.

Catch-up services are typically provided by IPTV providers as part of their package, and they allow you to access a range of TV channels and programs that have been aired in the past. Catch-up services usually offer a limited time window for you to watch the programs, ranging from a few days to a week or more depending on the provider.

What is Time Shift in IPTV?

Some IPTV providers also offer a feature called time-shift, which is similar to catch-up, but allows you to pause and rewind live TV as it’s being broadcast. This means you can pause the TV program and resume it later, or rewind to a previous point in the program if you missed something.

It’s worth noting that catch-up and time-shift features may not be available for all TV channels, as this depends on agreements between the IPTV provider and the channel providers. Additionally, catch-up and time-shift services may require a fast and stable internet connection, as well as a compatible device such as a smart TV or set-top box.

Overall, catch-up is a convenient feature that allows you to watch previously aired TV programs on your own schedule, without having to worry about recording or missing out on the content.

Recently beside MAG boxes catch-up available on some applications like IPTV Smarters.

Note that catch-up needs large amount of storage to record previous programs, so IPTV providers only can activate it for some special channels in a limited time (usually 24 or 48 hours).
