3. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why does my Smart TV show this behavior (MAG NTP)?
Default NTP server unreachable; change NTP Server in System Settings -> Servers -> General to pool.ntp.org. Our remote MAC pairing studio resolves this in under 60 seconds.
What if I do not have an M3U playlist link or channel bouquet yet?
Smart TV apps like IBO Player, SmartOne, and Bob Player do not include TV channels by default. Simply verify your MAC address in our studio and activate a 4K Cloud Bouquet injected remotely into your TV.
Does this work on Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, and Hisense VIDAA TVs?
Yes—remote MAC provisioning works across Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, Hisense VIDAA, Philips Titan OS, Sony Bravia Google TV, Firestick, and Infomir MAG boxes.
