I've been having the same issues I have to keep constantly resetting the box

 

[valdovic]

been having the same issues with live tv and movies unwatchable. restarted everything and my download Mbps is 25.

history channel unwatchable freezing like crazy other channels working fine

this is usually an outcome of your internet and networking.
As mentioned, someone using same interenet to use netflix or other similar like XBox would cause that.
Downloading torrents would cause that.
Bad or insufficient quality connections would cause that.
Networking priority or interuptions from ongoing PC/internet tasks can be a cause.
There are many reasons why you'd get freezing using iptv , most are not iptv server related (some are thou, for sure)

Could it be a MAG receiver issue ?
I doubt it but maybe, if box is running software known to be an issue.

yes, the foxsports 1 channel is another I noticed with freezing but very watchable and the rest seen are okay with no issues too.
All VODs are without freezing. That's always been true as well

it's funny/odd to me that when the mag254 starts freezing,i have absolutely 0 trouble with my g box. i was trying to watch MLB game presently and it is freezing so bad,i had to switch to my gbox and watching exact same game,with 0 freezing issues in sports devil. no other boxes are online presently and only the computer i am typing this on and the gbox.
when attempting to watch MLB on the magbox it was the only thing that was even connected to my network or internet.

yesterday,MLB played almost flawlessly,so did the most of the live tv channels that i watch.

i downgraded from r11 to r10 and everything seems to be ok for now

 

[valdovic]

how do you downgrade?

 

[Marley]

most are fine its not you

 

[freetv4life]

gregm you might be on to something here. Did a downgrade to r10 and things look way better on the MAG 254.

Always wonder why some people seem to be OK with the MAG 254 while others have loads of issues. Will watch it and see how the downgrade works and give feedback

Valdovic you can find r10 firmware on the FTAZETA website under the MAG 254 section in the Files subsection. The instruction are there, didn't even have to do a factory reset so it was easy no set up after firmware was loaded.

 

[Marley]

i been saying they need a new update for 254 just to slow for me

 

[freetv4life]

Yea asft think so too. Long overdue.

Surprising when I did this downgrade using the file on the FTAZETA website and followed their simple instruction my missing infomir logo is now back.

 

[freetv4life]

asft we need a subsection for firmware in the MAG 254 section where people can download current and previous firmware

 

[K00lKatT]

mag already has a files sub section...

 

[Ipguy]

Man they really need to get they shit together,I did a factory reset and my logo is
Gone,I don't care about the logo but I never had a box before that have done this
After a factory reset that supposed to bring the box back to it's original setting.
I am not going to use a usb to try to put their logo back on their box that's stupid
You think they would make sure they logo stick to they brand specially for marketing
Purpose.

I dont mean for everybody to buy a mag 250 but i find them more stable than the mag 254.
