The webOS TV emulator emulates webOS TV on your computer, enabling you to test and debug apps on your computer. It runs on the Oracle VM VirtualBox to emulate webOS TV and emulates LG Smart⁺ TV remote control unit.

Today we share with you a new user Guide for the RetroArch multi emulator where we show you how to install and configure it quickly and easily.RetroArch is a software package that compiles several emulators with which we can play with infinity of consoles and retro arcade machines that is compatible with both Android TV-Box, Smartphones, tablets and Windows mini PCs. Thankfully, the NVIDIA Shield TV is the best performing Android TV device, and an amazing streaming device. That’s because it has performance in spades. While setting up an emulator on the NVIDIA Shield (or any system) isn’t always easy, you get the benefit of being able to play games from several different consoles all on one system. Mode 1: Start the TV-Box with the update button pressed, in a box or in an audio jack. Mode 2: Use the LibreELEC app for Android that restarts the TV-Box in update mode. Mode 3: If we are root from a terminal on Android we do “su” and then “reboot update”.

Ok first things first we can hear half of you say what the heck is a STB emulator and what does it do? So don’t fret you can put your panic alarms back in your pocket now as we are about to break down this great app and how to set up and install the stb iptv app

What is STB Emulator

Well STB emulator is an app that can mimic a mag device such as a mag 250 box, mag 254 boxes etc. Some people argue that mag boxes are the best way to watch IPTV with its snappy menu and channel selection to its elegant and straight to the point user interface and it’s probably the easiest way to navigate around compared to the other IPTV apps.

Now we would say STB Pro is not the best IPTV app but it is close and has its many perks such as ease of use but if you go down this route of using the stb iptv app you will be locked to using just the app and no other app or device so sometimes, for this reason, its best to use another app so you have the freedom of putting your IPTV on many different devices.

Now with the above being said let’s see how you download and install stb emulator apk on your device. For those using a firestick scroll further down the page

How To Download and Install The STB Emulator APK On Your Android

How To Install And Set Up STB On Your Firestick

Please note: If you have a 1st generation firestick the app will most probably be unstable so best to use another app.

Now go into Settings and down into Profiles. You will want to press ok on the actual profile to edit it. You will see it will have a profile name such as New Profile #48732 so click on the name and call it whatever you like we would say call it Strong IPTV if you like.

Now once you have added the profile name in go to the Portal settings below and press OK. You will now see it say portal URL and this part is important.

To get the stb emulator portal url you will need a subscription which you can BUY HERE then in your welcome email you will see the portal address you need to enter in the portal url field.

So if you do not have a subscription by now make sure you get one for this to work. If you do not see it email us for it once you have purchased your IPTV.

Now with the portal URL entered you can go back a page by pressing the back button and go down to STB configuration and you will see a section that is called MAC-address you will need to write that down then email us the mac address code so we can activate the code for you on our system after you have a subscription from us.

Now once you have sent us the MAC code you have written down you can press back on the remote until you get to a blue screen then press the menu button or on a firestick the little 3 line button on the remote to bring up the side menu.

Now go down to profile and press ok and then press ok again to load the profile which will restart the app and once the app has restarted you will see our glorious IPTV once the yellow bar loads up for the first time.
