Using STB Emulator Pro for IPTV in the US
STB Emulator Pro runs Android, and the recommended player here is Virtual MAC Address / Portal. Set-up takes about 3 mins, and it works on Xfinity, Spectrum, AT&T and Verizon Fios broadband.
Plan for roughly 8 to 10 Mbps for HD and about 25 Mbps for 4K per stream, and add headroom if other people in the home are streaming at the same time.
Why choose STB Emulator Pro
MAG boxes use a portal URL and your MAC address rather than an app login.
US viewers use it for NFL, NBA, MLB and college sport.

- Enter a portal name and the portal URL you receive from support.
- Send the MAC address printed on the back of the box to support so your subscription can be attached.
