I hope someone can give me a little guidance with my Mag problem. It works fine during the day but not at night! I tested it on both wifi and Ethernet. Moved it to another room, same problem. Only thing I can think of is to erase all data and start over. Any ideas? TIA!
 
Thanks for the reply. I should have also mentioned that I have an Android TV box running STB Emulator which works perfectly on wifi (with all the freezing and missing channels that is). Only difference is that the Mag is on Rocket and the Android box is on IKS66.
 
Well it now looks like all my boxes have issues at night. I read all the other posts about problems that come and go but I never had an issue until about a week ago. For some reason the Mag is the worst but the Android TV box also acts up and so does my Android tablet using a playlist. This feels like the beginning of the end. Hope not.
 
Check your internet contract for minimum data rate requirement. ISP is probably throttling you down to the minimum during peak periods.
Also, do a basic DSL Speed Test during the time in question.
Also to note, you have 3 devices sharing the bandwidth, so divide that by 3 as well if all are used concurrently.
(require min. 2Mb/sec (3Mb/sec recommended)) per device for SD. (More for HD)).

Also remember, your system, when online, is using your bandwidth in the background for other things like time adjust, system and App updates, facebook crap etc.

Thanks for the input. I only use one device at a time. Live here by myself. I will check Internet speed at different times as you suggest. As a former math teacher, love the math stuff! Bring it on!
 
Still having the same problem. Works OK in the daytime but doesn't work at night. Same problem when I use playlist on my Android tablet (different donation of course).
 
are we ever going to get an answer to this. Please don't say it is on my end as I have two other boxes and they are working fine. just the mag 254 is having problems. Most days it works sort of OK and then at night no channels will come in. Nobody seems to be looking into this issues or they don't care one or the other
 
Unless your boxes are all on the same sub, your comparing apples to oranges. So if mag has let's say a 66 sub.... and it acts up. Then you shut that off and fire up another box on the same 66 sub and it works fine, then blame the mag. If your mag acts up on a sub, and your other boxes use another connection, then that tells ya nothing about the box.
 
As you say I am comparing Apples to apples as I have reprogrammed my other boxes with the same rocket sub that the mag is using and they work just fine. the Mag works OK during the day but at night it will not load any channels that are working on the other boxes.
Besides all 3 subs "66" "rocket" and "iptvprivateservice" all come from the same provider so don't tell me that we are comparing apples and oranges. Mag use to work fine until they started playing around with software updates.

Excuuuussseee ME!!! You didn't mention that in your post! I won't bother to try and help if that's your attitude. I wasn't telling you anything just stating a fact that they need to be on the same account. So many people complain and they compare to Kodi apps. You can take that "Don't tell me" attitude and stick it friend. Next time make sure you mention all the parameters or don't bother asking for help... Sheese.
 
Sure pissed someone off it is about time maybe we will get some answers now instead of just paying our money and being ignored when there is a problem or being told that the problem must be on "YOUR END" when nothing has changed on MY END
 
r19 not working here works during the day then at night will not load channels unless you reload the portal and then it works for a few minutes and then will not load channels again.
