The short version
A MAG box logs in to a portal by its MAC address instead of a username. You enter the portal URL we send, we register the box's MAC, and it reboots into the channel list. StbEmu does the same on Android devices. It is simple for older viewers, but menus are slower than TiviMate.

Is it worth buying a MAG box now?
Forum users call the MAG menu slow, but simple. For a new purchase, an Android TV box gives more.
