How to enter the BIOS setup (bootloader menu) MAG-200/250?
Power off STB MAG200/250.
Press and hold the «menu» on the remote (or the power button on the front panel).
Without releasing the «menu» (or the power button on the front panel) Power on STB MAG200/250.
If there is no image on the screen maybe your TV doesn't support PAL system.
If there is no image then complete next steps:

Hold “Menu” button during 10 seconds.
Switch PAL - NTSC with single press on red button “F1” on RC.

If it is locked by the original provider then there is no way to find it.
You either try to reset the firmware which may/may not work but will lose the sub.
I have done a few 254 boxes all work fine afterwards but currently have a 250 which is provider locked and will not allow me to do a factory reset to show any portals.

I managed to do a reset and the portals icon is showing up now but i have lost all the info and subscription is gone
Why cant they just give me the portal address so i can u use it on another device as this device is useless and freezes all the time
It was a spare mag box as well that my dad had and he put a subscription on it for him looks like dad lost 120 euros for 6 months subs
Nightmare
Any help would be great thanks
