...try removing them... it does not work for me. I had mag254 and didnt work... and same happened on mg256 when i changed my stb. I just wish rapid arranged the order or channels would be easy to find channels... thats all. Hopefully it will be done soon. However it is the most reliable out there. I have tried them almost all !

Ok guys. I have been struggling to. could not delete favourites on MAG254. I found a solution in my case. I reset the settings using the BIOS (did not work through the settings function). After the reset, I had to put back the server’s link. The favourites were still there but when I deleted them again they did disappear so try the reset through the BIOS (blue screen: as soon as you plug your box press multiple times on the menu button (3 horizontal lines). Once it reboots it might be stuck on tge loading phase. Just unplug replug the cord go back to the bios and make sure you are on Nand2. hope it helps

Hi all
I've recently bought and set up a MAG 322w1 with my IPTV subscription and it's thrown up a couple of questions / frustrations, if anyone can help I'd be grateful.

1. Although I've added the portal address of my IPTV subscription provider, and the box boots up to a tv channel I can only access this from the main menu by accessing the portal, If I select the IPTV logo from the main menu I get a messages saying no channels are available. Is it not possible to access portal based IPTV subs through this part of the main menu?

2. I've linked my NAS drive as a UPnP connection ( I can also see it as via the samba connection). Is it possible to create shortcuts or "favourite" some of the sub folders so that I don't have to navigate through the menu structure every time I want to access content?

So far my impressions are OK but not great, I bought the w1 model so that I could access my subs via wifi but the signal the box is picking up is so poor (8-10mb/s) I have had to plug in a lan cable, not great as I have a 200mb cable connection and a brand new gigabit router.
Cheers
Buffyfan

I have a similar problem that started with the most recent Mag software update. I believe the problem was introduced with the update. I find a work around is to unplug the Mag and plug it back in. I do not think this is anything to do with Rapid.

 

[Wayneo123]

How often does your remote freeze thankyou wayne

 

[Wayneo123]

Mine also did it before the latest update

 

[West Ham Pete]

Most days when first using the box.
Turn TV on, Mag on its channel menu, Mag does not respond to the remote, Power Mag on/off and becomes responsive to remote again.

Hope this helps

 

[Wayneo123]

Yes that does work but whenever I go into TV menu it freezes again before I even get on a channel thankyou wayne

 

[West Ham Pete]

Sorry Wayne those are different symptoms to mine.

Sorry to state the obvious - have you changed batteries?

 

[Wayneo123]

Yes new battery's. Very strange only freezes when going through program menu thankyou again wayne

Hello
I have a MAG 349 and I do not support the STB, what can you do there?

 

[John Martin]

Hi, I hope someone here can help me.
I have a new Mag322 box.
It worked for a short while (an hour of two) and then hung on me. When it hung I couldn't do anything, not even turn it off with the red button on the remote control. I then just removed the power, counted 10 seconds or so, then rebooted it.
Once it restarted I couldn't get the main menu anymore. I can get into the Settings menu ok and can alter things there, but just can't get back into the main menu, where I can choose countries, channels, etc. I have tried restarting the box numerous times but still nothing.

I do get an error message screen where at the top in RED letters it states: Page Loading Error.
Under this there are 4x lines of information.
1rst = Try Again, with the correct server address under it.
2nd line = Embedded portal.
3rd line = Rapid ITV, with your the correct server address under it.
4th line = System settings.

I did update the software to see if this helped, but there was no change.
Any idea what is going on? I have tested the internet and proved I am getting internet access with the box.

Hi,
I have found the problem. I had to change the last part of the URL given to me and had to add 8080/c/ instead of just /c/ on the end. After altering the URL everything worked again.
Thanks for anyone considering helping me.
