    Hi
    Had a look at the MAG 250 plus servers and it seems very good.
    Have discovered that there is a newer upgraded version (MAG254) which is faster and has more memory but currently dificult to obtain (out of stock), so going to hang on untill I can get one of these.
    Servers look interesting in what they offer, I'm told the PQ is just below the comparable sat HD and SD.
    Would like to hear what other members views are on this.
    But all very tempting!

    Well done mate, I'm sure you wont regret trying out a 'MAG' IPTV receiver, my only current gripe is that last week we had all 15 Bein Sports channels, this week the provider has stated he's so fed up with their demands etc that he's not providing it any more, but there are plenty of other options now added!

    So you pay for a service, and he cant be bothered with the hassle?
    Am I reading this correct?

    Hi holmroad,
    Keep me posted on your experience with servers.
    I have just done a deal with a fellow pimp on a second hand MAG 254.
    So will be busting a gut to get up and running
    Cheers Geoff

    I'm sure YOU know how mega difficult Bein Sports are being, allegedly protecting their silly interests?
    Plus I got it for the occasionsl Forest matches - or so I'd hoped - so I've already told him what a pain it all is with Bein - but only HE can decide what he is prepared to do about it - and at the moment he's opting out!

    Hope so Geoff - but failed miserably LAST season in the last ten games or so after being in ALL the promotion spots earlier!

    Interesting little box. I was searching it on the web, and I see that there are various of websites providing tv channels from the UK and other countries via Mag 250. If I get the receiver, do I have to pay extra fees to one of these companies to watch the UK channels in my country?

    ************************
    it looks like you have been looking at iptv servers info mate if you have then there will be a subscription to the services they are advertising, and if you go that way you will get a script/line
    you add to the portal section in the box menu to connect to the service i had a mag250 given to me awhile ago but after a quick look in the menu's
    and updating the software, i never tested it so i can give you any info on the box.

    As you may have read from the previous posts on this thread, I'm in the process of aquireing a MAG 254.
    I will go for a pay server for the sport but you have to realise these servers are not the official suppliers of certain channels (esp UK pay TV) so you have all the inherent risks associated with pay servers like sat C/S.
    So could be there one minute and gone the next or changes to channels that you thought you had access too.
    If you know what you are getting into then great but you should also expect the unexpected.
