Setup guide

STB Emulator is free to download. On a phone or laptop screen, HD feeds already look sharp; 4K only pays off on a 4K display. You pay once for the plan length you choose; nothing renews on its own, and you have 7 days to ask for a refund.

  • Pick a plan length, send the order on WhatsApp, and keep the reply open: it holds the server URL, username and password.
  • Find STB Emulator in Google Play, tap Install, and open it once the download finishes.
  • Find the MAC address in STB Emulator's profile settings and send it to us on WhatsApp so it can be registered.
  • Paste the portal URL we reply with into STB Emulator's portal settings and restart the app.
  • Give the first sync a couple of minutes, then hide the groups you never use and favorite the rest.

The first time you open it

STB Emulator loads the portal on start. Expect a menu with live TV, video on demand and settings tiles, much like a MAG box. The channel list arrives first, the guide shortly after.

If STB Emulator won't cooperate

  • "Portal not found" or a blank screen: check the URL, including any trailing /c/, and confirm the MAC was registered.
  • Picture but no sound: set the Android phone's audio output to stereo or PCM; some soundbars refuse surround passthrough from IPTV feeds.
  • Guide off by an hour or more: check the Android phone's time zone first, then the EPG offset in STB Emulator.
  • Buffering on sports only: run a speed test on the Android phone. Below about 25 Mbps, use the HD version of the channel.

Settings that help on the Android phone

  • Turn off battery saver while watching; it can throttle video playback.
  • Lock rotation to landscape so the picture doesn't flip when you shift on the couch.
  • Stay on Wi-Fi for long sessions: HD uses roughly 3 GB an hour, 4K far more.
  • Portal URL: leave it exactly as sent, including any trailing /c/.
