Setup guide
STB Emulator (Android) IPTV setup
STB Emulator turns an Android device into a virtual MAG box. It is the fiddliest setup we support and only worth it if you specifically want the MAG portal interface — otherwise use TiviMate.

Setup steps
Before you start
Your M3U URL or Xtream login (username, password, server URL) arrives on WhatsApp right after your order is confirmed. Keep that message handy — you will paste from it in the steps below.

- 01
Install STB Emu
- STB Emu Pro is a paid app on the Play Store; the free STB Emulator also works.
- On Fire TV, sideload it through Downloader as covered in our Firestick guide.
- Open the app once so it generates its profile.
- 02
Send us the virtual MAC
- Open the app menu → Settings → Profiles → your profile → STB Configuration → MAC address.
- Note the MAC shown (or set your own in the 00:1A:79 range).
- Send that MAC to us on WhatsApp at +1 (347) 676-4880 so we can authorise it.
Note — Do not change the MAC after we register it — the portal will stop loading immediately.
- 03
Point it at the portal
- Settings → Profiles → your profile → Portal settings.
- Portal URL: enter the address we sent you.
- Go back and choose "Restart" or reopen the app to load the portal.
- 04
Fix the remote and screen
- Settings → Profiles → your profile → Screen resolution: set 1280x720 or 1920x1080 to match your TV.
- Menu → Remote control mapping if your buttons do the wrong thing — the defaults suit a MAG remote, not a Fire TV one.
