How to install Smart STB on BuzzTV
Installing Smart STB on BuzzTV comes down to two parts: getting the app onto the device, then signing in with your IPTV details. BuzzTV boxes run Android; install from the store if listed, otherwise sideload the APK. Smart STB emulates a MAG box, so it signs in with a portal URL and its own MAC address rather than an Xtream or M3U login.
This guide covers both steps for BuzzTV, using an OTTV subscription as the example. You'll sign in with a portal URL and the device's MAC address, just like a MAG box.
Install method: Install from the store or sideload the APK.

Enter the portal URL

- 5
Share your MAC address
Smart STB shows a device MAC address. Your provider may need to whitelist it before the portal will connect.
- 6
Reload the portal
Save and reload; your channels and guide appear once the MAC is authorised.
