High Definition IPTV Set Top Box: Types of IPTV hardware
- Android TV and Google TV boxes, such as the NVIDIA Shield and Google TV Streamer, run apps from Google Play and can sideload others.
- Fire TV devices run Fire OS and take the same Android players, from the Appstore or through Downloader.
- MAG boxes from Infomir run Linux and log in to a Stalker-style portal registered to their MAC address.
- Formuler boxes run Android with MYTVOnline built in, which takes portals and playlists.
- Apple TV takes players from the App Store only, and handles 4K HDR well.
Where the channels come from
You don’t add channels one by one. You sign the box’s player in to your provider, with an Xtream Codes login, an M3U link or a portal registration, and the full lineup appears. Favorites and hidden groups are then set inside the player.
On a MAG box, “programming” the box means registering its MAC address with the provider and entering the portal URL under Settings > Servers > Portals. On an Android box, it means installing a player and adding the login.
