1. What is a MAG 250 IPTV Set-Top Box?
The MAG 250 is a classic IPTV box from Infomir, designed for streaming live TV, VOD, and catch-up services over the internet using Linux-based middleware. It supports:
- MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264 video decoding
- Ethernet + HDMI/AV outputs
- Resolutions up to Full HD (MAG 250), with newer MAG 4K models offering Ultra HD streaming
- Access to over 2400 IPTV channels, depending on provider
2. What You Need Before Setup
To use your MAG 250 (or newer 4K MAG box), you need:
- A high-speed internet connection (20+ Mbps for HD/4K)
- A registered MAC address with your IPTV provider
- A Portal URL (Stalker-based or custom) from your IPTV service
- A MAG remote control (usually included)

2: Enter BIOS/Startup Settings (Optional)
