Before you begin
- A MAG 3xx, 4xx or 5xx, or a Formuler Z8, Z10 or Z11
- The box's MAC address, printed on the underside sticker
- The portal URL we issue once you send that MAC over

The walkthrough, step by step
Get the MAC to us
Two places carry it: the sticker underneath, and Settings > About device on screen. A MAG's always opens 00:1A:79. Photograph the sticker and send it on WhatsApp rather than typing it out, then sit tight until we confirm activation — nothing will load before that.
On a MAG, enter the portal
Follow Settings > System settings > Servers > Portals. Give Portal 1 any label, paste the address we sent into it, save, and reboot. The line-up appears only after that restart, so do not skip it.
On a Formuler, use MyTVOnline
Launch MyTVOnline 2 or 3, choose Add Portal, and enter the label and portal address. If you would rather, the Xtream Codes option takes the standard login instead. A Formuler also runs Android players such as TiViMate, should you prefer that route.
Reboot and check
Back from the restart, the box downloads the 25,000+ channels together with its guide. Tune to something to confirm the picture, and use the remote's coloured keys to set favourites and open the EPG.
If it acts up
It reads STB blocked, or the screen is blank
One of two things: the MAC is not switched on at our end yet, or a single character arrived wrong. A photo of the sticker rules out the typo, and once we have the right MAC live it usually clears in minutes.
The player we would put on this one
TiViMate
TiViMate's grid guide is why sport fans switch to it. Installing it on Android, adding your Glomax8K line, and whether Premium is worth it.

MAG and Formuler box — common questions
Is a MAG better than a Firestick here?
For a main TV used nightly, yes: the remote is better, the guide is faster, and sideloading never comes into it. The trade is price — roughly $130 to $220 versus $40 to $60 for a stick. On a spare-room set, the stick wins on value and no one would spot the difference.
