How to reset IPTV box ?

Resetting an IPTV box depends on the model you’re using (MAG, Android TV box, Fire Stick, Formuler, etc.), but the process usually falls into two categories:

1. Soft Reset (Restart / Factory Reset from Settings)

Use this if the box is still responsive.

• Android IPTV Boxes (BuzzTV, Formuler, generic Android TV):1. Go to Settings → Device Preferences → Reset or Storage & Reset

2. Choose Factory Data Reset.

3.Confirm and wait for the device to reboot.

• MAG Boxes (Infomir):
  1. Unplug the power.
  2. Hold the Menu button on the remote.
  3. While holding, plug the power back in.
  4. The BIOS menu appears → choose Factory Default.
• Fire Stick (Amazon):
  1. Go to Settings → My Fire TV → Reset to Factory Defaults.
  2. Confirm and wait for the reset.

2. Hard Reset (Force Reset with Buttons)

Use this if the box is frozen or you can’t access the menus.

• Android Boxes (MXQ, X96, etc.):
  1. Turn the box off.
  2. On the back or bottom, find the reset button (sometimes inside the AV port).
  3. Hold it with a pin, then power on the box while still holding.
  4. Recovery menu appears → choose Wipe Data/Factory Reset using the remote/USB keyboard.

• Formuler / Other IPTV Boxes:
  • Similar method: look for a reset hole, press with a pin, then power on until the recovery menu shows.

Things to Know Before Resetting

• Reset will erase all apps, IPTV playlists, and account logins — you’ll need to re-install your IPTV app and re-enter your provider’s details.
• If your IPTV provider tied your subscription to your MAC address, it usually won’t change, but check before resetting.
• Keep your M3U link / Xtream codes / app activation key handy before starting.
