    Default Problem with iptv for Mag 250

    I bought a 1 month sub for ipguys awhile back to try it. Now cannot use to box for ipguys anymore even though the original sub has expired. It seems that once a mag 250 is linked to an ipguys account it cannot be linked to any other ipguys account even when the sub has expired. Anybody know how to fix this?

    Ask who you bought your code from to unlink it.

    I did a couple of times but got no reply. I think the reason is because the ipguys reseller panel has no provision for unlinking a box. Once linked it's linked forever. Even before a subscription expires the ipguys reseller panel will not allow adding months to a box that is linked to another account. Don't know if it's a bug in the software or what. I asked if doing a hard reset of the box would unlink the account but was told that it wouldn't.

    It's linked by unique id (MAC). Since the main panel is the same (only one), only one unique id can be added. So, you need to get deleted from the main.. even if you don't get deleted from the subpanel, it really does not matter.

    OK so how can one get deleted from the main? You would think that once a sub expired that the link would be broken but it's not.

    Your new reseller or old reseller can send the request to the main.

    I hear if you reboot your mag and keep hitting the setup button it will give you the option to unlink whatever service you want. Doesn't work!

    No problem using the Mag 250 for other services. It just can't use it for ip guys. The Mag 250 is not linked like a Roku. You enter the url of a portal and if you are subscribed to that service then you're good to go. The service knows whether or not you are subscribed by the MAC address of your Mag 250. The problem with ip guys is that once you are subscribed your MAC is in their system and only the reseller who originally sold you the credits can add more. No other reseller can add credits. It's crazy.

    When you get the service, make sure you are not buying it from a reseller of reseller of reseller
