In this guide, we will guide you step by step to install STB Emulator for streaming IPTV service. Most people already have compatible devices and don’t even know about them. Keep reading, as you will be introduced to them first.
What is STB Emulator?
The STB emulator is an application for android users through the Google play store that emulates MAG devices (set-top boxes) used for streaming IPTV services. This will allow you to access any MAC activated IPTV service, in order to start streaming, you need to subscribe to the MAC activated IPTV service.
The STB Emulator includes two versions
When you search the Google play store, you’ll find two versions to choose from: the STB emulator (free) and the STB emulator (professional), both of which can be installed on your android device.
The only difference between the two is that STBemu Pro removes any banner ads that are occasionally displayed in the free version. Now, the Pro edition is a one-time fee, and you’ll get lifetime access, which includes any future updates.
If this is your first time trying IPTV, I recommend using the free version.
