If your Android operating system and kernel support USB OntheGo you can hook up a plug and play remote. Now you have an STB experience without buying a Mag box. If you have the STB emulator app still open you can now tap the near top right corner.

The Android STB Emulator application can emulate the following IPTV set top boxes. I recently tested this guide on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 which is able to run the STB Emulator smoothly. I grabbed an OTG cable to connect this remote and I had my own mini IPTV center. The Tab 2 is harder to come by nowadays but you can check eBay, if you are in the market for something newer the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1″ will run the emulator. In this guide I set up an STB emulator to work with NTV’s IPTV service (NTV Review here) but it should work with other providers as well. Set top boxes are a great way to enjoy your IPTV experience with services like NTV. If you don’t want to buy a Mag Set top box like the model 250 then you can use an an Android device to emulate the hardware and interface of Mag STBs. Paired with an STB remote Īpp for your Android phone, you can have the same streamlined set top box IPTV experience. This guide was created on an Galaxy S3 running Cyanogen Mod 11 (Android Kitkat 4.4), you will ideally want a powerful device to emulate the set top box.
