Mag 254 vs Avov

[rogue17]

Hi there,


I was wondering what is the Avov equivalent to the Mag 254.


Currently I am using a Mag 254 and it is working fine but sometimes when I reboot I get mode


not supported. I am using a Samsung TV.


I have tried other Mag 254s just to compare and it always says Mode not supported so totally


unusable. can't get past this.


I have read that there are some Samsung TVs that have problems with the Mag 254. But


recently used a Mag 254 on a No name brand Tv and it said resolution not correct. Please


check device. Or something like that.


So would like to know which Avov is equivalent to the Mag 254. Are there many differences in


the Avov. Will I get the same guide like I do know running ***** on Mag 254.


I'm asking this in case one day my Mag 254 gives out, would like to know what other options


are there.


Thanks

They are not equivalent. The MAGs are linux boxes that run firmware that accesses servers that use stalker middleware. The Avovs are android/micky hop boxes that has an app that can access stalker middleware, but that app doesn't seem to be supported anymore by Avov.

The Mode Not Supported is probably your TV not syncing with the video output from the MAG, or vice versa. Make sure your box is sending out 1080i/60hz, and your TV is displaying same, for example.

So Avovs are android boxes therefore they need a stb emulator to run IPTV services?

Are all models of Avovs Android boxes?

Yes, but can only run apps out of the MickyHop market, out of the box. Good thing is that Kodi is in MickyHop. The bad thing is that MickyHop is extremely limited.

I have a mag 254 and an avov tvonline+... the avov is the worst box I ever had....constant crashes.lock ups plus the crappy power supply connection is garbage. ...myself. ..I will never buy another. ...the mag is a good box....if you set it up for auto resolution in the bios it should work without any problems

How do I set up auto resolution in bios? Very new to this.

Thanks

Hi Satman61,

How do I do that? On some tvs I get mode not supported or wrong resolution. Yet others it's plug and play. No issues what so ever.

Thanks

I have tried 5 different Mags on my Samsung TV. Only one works. The other 4 give me mode not supported. How do I check in Bios.

Thanks

keep in mind we wont guarantee a good service, while you use an avov box, due to the latest events of bugs involving their boxes.

I don't want a avov box.

But if I can't fix the Mode Not Supported on my Samsung Tv using Mag 254, I won't have a choice.

OK I fixed it. Did the following.

Mag 254 Bios
1 unplug Mag254
2 push and hold the button with 3 dots and 3 lines and plug power back in you should have a blue screen with settings.
3 Check and change your setting save and reboot

Things you may need to change
1 Video settings should be set to your TV settings
2 You should be booting from nand or nand 2 which ever that works for you.
3 Factory Reset. ( Screen shows def. setting )
