Setup guide
Setting up STB Emulator on the Android phone
STB Emulator runs on Android, which makes it a natural fit for the Android phone. Setup is install, sign in, wait for the list: about five minutes from start to your first channel with an Ultra 8K IPTV login.
- No contract
- 7-day refund
- Login in ~60s

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.
Have these ready
- The MAC address STB Emulator shows in its settings, to send with your order
- Enough free space for the app and its guide data
- A 25 Mbps line handles one 4K stream comfortably; HD needs roughly 10 Mbps per screen
Step by step: STB Emulator on the Android phone
- 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/.
