If you see a blue screen, don’t worry that’s completely normal. Use the mouse cursor on your Firestick remote and select the upper right corner to reveal the on-screen remote. Click on the three dots to open the drop-down menu and access the settings.
Select Profile in Settings
In the settings of the STB Emulator app, select “Profiles.” This section lets you manage how the app connects to IPTV. Choosing the correct profile ensures your connection is accurate and ready for portal and server setup.
Choose New Profile Option
Hover over the “New Profile” option and press enter once highlighted. If you’re using multiple IPTV servers, create several profiles. This way, you can switch easily between them without needing to reconfigure everything again each time you watch.
Open Portal Settings Menu
Next, go into “Portal Settings.” This is where you’ll enter the portal information provided by your IPTV provider. It’s a key step in setting up the emulator for successful playback and linking to your live TV content.
Enter the Portal URL
Here you’ll see “Portal URL” as the first option. You must edit this based on the IPTV service you use. This URL should be given to you by your provider to link the STB emulator correctly.
Go to STB Configuration
Exit one step back to profile settings from step five, and then select “STB configuration.” This section handles key device settings and is essential before your IPTV connection can be used properly through the emulator app.
Check the MAC Address
Inside “STB Configuration,” you’ll see the MAC address starting with 00:1A:79. This is what you’ll give your provider. Make sure it’s correct and activated, or the service will not connect through the IPTV portal.
We’re Done Configuring the App
Now, keep pressing back or exit until you see the blue screen. From there, use the mouse cursor to select anywhere on the screen, which will reveal the on-screen remote. Next, click on the three dots in the upper-right corner.
Drop-down Menu
Selecting the three dots will open the drop-down menu. Here, select 'Profile' twice. This will cause the screen to flash and restart the portal. If everything is set up correctly and your service is activated, you’ll see a yellow loading bar.
Reload Portal
Another method to reload the portal is by selecting the option on the upper-left side of the screen. This will display the "Reload Portal" option for you to choose.

Double-check with your provider to confirm it's the right one.
