IPTV Portal Won't Load on MAG Box: Common Fixes

If your MAG box shows no channels or won't load its portal, check these in order.

Double-check the portal URL

Confirm it was entered exactly as provided under Settings → System Settings → Servers → Portals, with no typos or missing characters.

The MAC address you sent to support must match your device's MAC exactly. See the full MAG setup guide for where to find it.

MAG boxes often need a full reboot to pick up a new or corrected portal. Refreshing the app isn't enough.

A leftover portal URL can conflict with a new one, so clear old entries before adding the current one.

Still not loading? Contact support to confirm your MAC address activation status directly.
