Instead of a MAG box
A MAG box app for Fire TV, Google TV and Android TV
A MAG box connects to your TV service through a portal address and its MAC address. Showvee does the same job as an app, so you can watch the same portal on a Fire TV Stick, Google TV, an Android TV box or an Android phone, with no box.
Showvee is a player only. It contains no channels or other content. Use it only with content you have the right to watch.
What you need from your box or provider
The portal URL
It’s in your box’s portal settings, or your provider can send it. It often ends in /c/.
A registered MAC address
Twelve characters like 00:1A:79:12:34:56. Your box’s MAC is on the sticker underneath it.
Keep your box’s MAC, or ask for a new one
Showvee uses the MAC address you type, not the device’s own, so either way works:
- Your box’s MAC: type it into Showvee. Most portals play one stream per MAC, so turn the box off while you watch.
- A new MAC: ask your provider to register one for your subscription. The form already starts with
00:1A:79:, the prefix MAG boxes use.
The same MAC works on every device you install Showvee on. If the portal refuses it, it may be tied to your box: ask your provider to reset it.
Move across in three steps
- Install Showvee on your Fire TV, Google TV, Android TV box or Android phone.
- Choose MAG / Stalker portal and enter the portal URL and MAC address. The portal guide shows each screen.
- Choose Connect. Showvee signs in and loads your channels, films and series.
What you get
- Your channels and groups, with the portal’s own TV guide
- Catch-up on channels your portal records
- Your provider’s films and series, with posters and details
- Several portals on one device, switched with one press
- The same portal on your TV, stick and phone, one at a time
Questions
Is Showvee a MAG box emulator?
Yes, in the way people usually mean it: Showvee signs in to a MAG (Stalker) portal the way a MAG box does, so it works where a portal expects a box. It’s an app, so there’s no box to buy.
Can I use my box and Showvee at the same time?
Usually not on the same MAC address: most portals play one stream per MAC. Turn the box off while you watch on Showvee, or ask your provider about a second MAC.
Will my portal work?
If your provider gives you a portal URL and registers a MAC address, it should. Showvee tries the usual portal paths at that address, and the list of errors explains what each message means.
Does Showvee come with a portal?
No. Showvee is a player only. The portal and the subscription come from your own provider, and Showvee doesn’t sell or recommend any.
Showvee isn’t made by, or affiliated with, the makers of MAG boxes. The name is used only to describe the kind of portal it signs in to.
Install Showvee
Showvee runs on Fire TV, Google TV, Android TV boxes and Android phones and tablets. Each video guide takes about five minutes.
iPhone, iPad and Apple TV aren’t supported, and neither are Roku, Samsung and LG TVs: Showvee is an Android app. Reading this on an iPhone? That’s fine — just follow the steps on your TV. Which devices work?
Connect your TV service
Showvee is a player only. It comes with no channels, playlists or logins: use it with a service you already subscribe to, and only for content you have the right to watch.
