Like others I am having problems with my Mag254. Received a screen notice, STB damaged call provider. Did some reading about this but no luck. I noticed that when redoing information, while going to Portals, both Portal 1 and Portal 2 had URL next to them. I could not get just the Portal 1 without URL next to it???

In reference to your reply....yes, I realize that each portal has two lines....the problem that I am having is the each line has a URL. I thought that just the URL was on the second line of each portal and not on both lines of each portal as I am getting?
Url is where you type the iptv url given here thats all you need to do also link mac adress dont forget,Note to no get confused use portal #1
re: ag 254 problems
I have two Mag 254 units. Other one works fine. Both have Mac#'s associated with todays current operations. This problem started about five days ago when the screen froze. Stayed frozen for awhile and I shut unit off. When I go to servers...General...NTP server OK...exit, next I go to Portals....Portal 1 only the URL space comes up and not the first space for the name. Next is Portal 2 URL. There should be a space in the first Portal that just has a blank for the name. As far as the firmware, I am using what came with this unit. Unit is only a few months old.

The factory R3 firmware only has 2 spaces to enter Portal 1 and Portal 2 URL's. There are no spaces to enter the Portal names.
Firmware versions above R3 have a space to enter the Portal names.

OK, I have gone to original factory settings. Placed all necessary info in spaces provided and checked and rechecked several times. Everything seems correct. Went to load and yellow (loading line) started and went to about i/2" before the end of the bar and ten refused to complete the load. I tried this several times after rechecking my input info. No luck, it still did not finish the loading (yellow line) refused to go to the end.....????
