Mag 254 to Mag 424w3 Upgrade - Worth It?

by FruityLoop23

Hi all,

Any advice here would be appreciated.

Currently using a Mag254 and have done for a number of years without major issues. Very happy with it.

However, I see that the Mag424w3 is now available and reviews seem to be very positive.

From what I understand, the responsiveness will be much better, but does anyone know for sure if the quality of the channels will be improved? And will the UHD channels output as UHD? Or is that stuff determined by my service provider?

All help appreciated!

Thanks

Don’t get a Mag box

A cursory search of this sub shows they’re the least recommended device for IPTV.

Had a mag 254 then a mag 322 then a mag 420 and now the mag 424w3. All worked great and no issues or complains at all from my end. 4K movies load quick & playback is great. At the end of the day it comes down to the bitrate of the channels are being streamed at. Heaps of providers just slap a 4K next to the channel name or HD or UHD and it's not even SD. But yeah in my opinion the 424w3 great box hasn't caused me any issue (so far)

You need to try it yourself. It's like now being an Apple iphone user all your life and then someone tells you nah the new apple iphone (y model) has gone to shit you need to change to an android phone better this better that etc. Everyone has there own respectful opinions but at the end of the day you need to try it yourself and form your own opinion.

A cheap but better alternative is a 4K Firestick with tivimate

Try a Formuler. I use one and it’s just like using a regular cable/satellite box. I’m *almost * ready to get one for my parents lol
