Before you start
- A MAG 3xx/4xx/5xx, or a Formuler Z8, Z10 or Z11
- The MAC address printed under the box
- Your Xerquvatv portal URL (sent once you share the MAC)

Getting it running
Send us the MAC address
It is on the label under the box and under Settings, About device. On a MAG it starts 00:1A:79. Photograph the label and send it on WhatsApp, then wait for us to confirm the portal is switched on before going further — nothing works before that.
MAG: enter the portal URL
Settings, System settings, Servers, Portals. Give Portal 1 any name, paste the portal address we sent, save, and restart the box. It will not load until that restart.
Formuler: use MyTVOnline
Open MyTVOnline 2 or 3 and choose Add Portal, giving a name and the portal address. Or pick Xtream Codes and use the standard login instead. A Formuler will also run Android players such as TiViMate if you would rather go that way.
Restart and check
After the restart the box loads the 25,000+ channels with its built-in guide. Bring up a channel to confirm, and use the remote colour buttons for favourites and the EPG.
If the picture will not come good
It shows "STB blocked" or a blank screen
Either the MAC is not activated yet, or a character was wrong when it was sent. Send a photo of the label rather than retyping it, and it clears within minutes in almost every case.
The right app for this screen
TiViMate
The player sport fans move to for its grid guide: installing TiViMate on Android, adding your Xerquvatv line, and whether Premium is worth the money.

MAG and Formuler box — common questions
Is a MAG better than a Firestick here?
On a main television used daily, yes: a better remote, a quicker guide, and nothing to sideload ever. It runs about $200 to $300 in Australia against $60 to $100 for a stick. On a bedroom set the stick is the better value and nobody will notice.
