MAG box IPTV setup in Australia: portal URL, MAC address and fixes (2026)

Updated 2 November 2026 · 6 min read · StreamAussie team

MAG box IPTV setup is different from apps like TiviMate: instead of typing a username and password, the box logs in with its own MAC address and a portal URL. Once it's set up, a MAG box is one of the simplest ways to watch IPTV in Australia: it boots straight into live TV and the remote works like a normal set-top box.

01Which MAG boxes work

MAG boxes are made by Infomir. The common models in Australia all work with StreamAussie:

All of them have an Ethernet port. Use it if you can: a cable to your NBN modem is more stable than Wi-Fi during busy evening matches.

02MAG box IPTV setup, step by step

1. Turn the box over and note the MAC address on the sticker. It starts with 00:1A:79. You can also find it in the box’s settings under device information.
2. Send the MAC address to our support team on WhatsApp after you order or ask for a trial. We link it to your subscription and send you a portal URL.
3. On the box, press Settings on the remote and go to System settings → Servers → Portals.
4. Type a name (for example StreamAussie) in Portal 1 name and the portal URL in Portal 1 URL, exactly as we sent it. Press OK to save.
5. Go back and choose Restart portal, or switch the box off and on. The channel list loads within a minute.

Set your time zone in System settings → Advanced settings so the TV guide shows the right times for your state.

03Common MAG box errors and fixes

04Tips

• Most plans allow one device at a time. To use a MAG box in the lounge and an app in the bedroom, choose a 2-device plan.
• Keep the box’s software up to date from its settings menu; Infomir publishes firmware and manuals on its official site.
• Prefer an app instead? See our best IPTV player apps.

05Frequently asked questions

Is a MAG box good for IPTV in Australia?

Yes. A MAG box boots straight into live TV, has an Ethernet port for a stable NBN connection and is easy for the whole family to use with its remote.

Where do I find my MAG box MAC address?

On the sticker under the box, or in the box’s settings under device information. It starts with 00:1A:79.

Why does my MAG box say STB blocked?

The MAC address isn’t linked to an active subscription. Check the MAC you sent matches the sticker, then contact support.

Can I use the same subscription on a MAG box and my phone?

Only one at a time on a single-connection plan. A 2-device plan lets you watch on both together.
