🔧 4. Common MAG Box Errors & How to Fix Them

Below are the most frequent MAG box issues and proven solutions:

1. “Your STB is Blocked / Contact Your Provider”

This means your MAC address is not activated on the server.

✔ Send your MAG MAC address to your IPTV provider to activate it.

2. “Portal URL Error”

Usually caused by:

  • Incorrect spelling

  • Missing / at the end

  • Wrong http/https format

✔ Double-check the URL carefully.
