I have to assume that you are using WiFi on it. If you can, try running it off of a network cable then you will know if it is the box it a WiFi issue.

No I'm use in network cable

I have the same issue..

You mean its actually freezing to the point where you can't get any response with the remote, and must unplug? And it happens frequently?

I must ask, where did you folks buy your boxes from?




And curious, but have you done a double firmware flash/update, followed by resetting the box with the 2x settings in the inner portal menu, and the reset option in the boot menu/bios screen? If not, try it. Can't hurt! (You will lose most of your settings)

I know it sounds stupid, and it is. But my life and a few others have been easier after doing multiple flashes/resets as instructed above.


If you have "refresh rate switching" enabled and have all 3 options enabled, consider disabling 60 or 50 depending on region. Although there was a user who said that he was in Europe and 50 was causing him grief irronicaly. Incorrect refresh rate can leave you with a frozen or black screen but usually reverts after some seconds.
Hope it helps someone.

For me none those steps worked..I have tried everything...the seller is refusing to take the box back only way he will warranty the box is if its hardware issue

I think the box is defective in its own way.

If its an official MAG (authentic), then you should be contacting the manufacturer, not the retailer (unless its within return policy period). That's how all warranty's work - its through the manufacturer. I would contact infomir and make sure you have an authentic box. There's a TON of fakes out there, and some look/function almost identical.

I feel for you.



And props to the user "prne08701"above me for mentioning to disable "CEC" and "HDMI event reaction". I never even considered it, but good point!

Is there anyway to tell if it is authentic?
