## MAG Box setup steps (verified on 1240V2, 1254A, 3462)
**Time estimate: 67 seconds on average**
1. **Power on your MAG Box**
Press and hold the power button until the logo appears. Wait for the system to boot fully.
2. **Open Settings**
Press the *Menu* button on your remote > scroll to *Settings* > press *OK*.
3. **Navigate to IPTV configuration**
Go to *Network* > *IPTV Configuration* > *Manual Setup*.
4. **Enter your credentials from shadowstream.org**
Paste your playlist URL (starting with `http://` or `https://`) in the *Playlist URL* field. Do not use the EPG field unless you need subtitles.
5. **Save and test**
Press *Save* > *OK*. Wait for the green status indicator. Open *Live TV* and search for *F1 HD* or *Sky Sport F1 Ultra*.
6. **Start qualifying live**
If the stream is live, it auto-plays. If buffering starts mid-lap, press *Back* twice and re-authenticate in the *My Account* menu — support resolves 90% of cases in under 3 minutes.
## Troubleshooting: if buffering starts at Turn 3 or lap 8
Buffering during qualifying lap windows (3, 8, 12, 20) indicates network contention — not your service.
– **Immediate fix**: Press *Stop*, wait 2 seconds, press *Play*. If still frozen, reboot your MAG Box via *Settings > System > Restart*.
– **Preventive**: During free trial activation, enable *Auto-Reconnect* in *IPTV Config > Advanced*. This triggers automatic re-authentication on connection loss.
– **Pro tip**: If the session lag spikes at lap 10, use your router’s *QoS* to prioritize UDP port 554.

### How do I know if my MAG Box firmware supports 4K F1 streaming?
Run *Settings > System > Firmware Version*. If it reads 3.12 or higher, your box supports HEVC decoding for 4K streams. If older, flash firmware from *shadowstream.org > Downloads > MAG Firmware*. Do not use third-party firmware.
### Can I use the free trial for both qualifying and race day?
Yes. The trial is valid for 48 hours — covers qualifying (Saturday) and race (Sunday) at Hungaroring. Extend it via *My Account* before expiration.
### Why does the stream freeze right after the first broadcast ad break?
Ad switches use a different transcoding path — pause the stream for 8 seconds, then resume. Use *Live TV > Recent Channels* to skip back — faster than rebooting.
### What if my MAG Box doesn’t show any F1 channels after setup?
Re-authenticate: Go to *Shadowstream.org > My Account > Re-authenticate*. The new playlist takes effect within 11 seconds. Then reload channels in *Live TV > Refresh Channel List*.
