What changes on a touch screen
The app was designed for a remote control, and on a phone or tablet the developer adds touch shortcuts. Tapping anywhere on the screen does what the OK button does on a TV.
Press and hold the bottom right of the screen to bring up a small virtual remote. A keyboard icon between its right and down arrows opens more keys, useful when a step asks for a key your screen does not show.

Install Smart STB and connect the portal
- Install the app. In the App Store, search for Smart STB and check that the developer shown is SMARTIPTVSOLUTIONS LIMITED before you tap Get.
- Open it. An information screen appears on first start; tap to continue.
- Find the Virtual MAC. On the Loading Portal screen, press OK (or tap the screen), open System settings, then Device info. The Virtual MAC is shown in the middle of the screen.
- Send it to us. Message the Virtual MAC on WhatsApp with your trial request or your order. We link it to your access and reply with the portal address.
- Enter the portal. In System settings, open Portals, switch Multiportal mode on and enable Portal 1. Type the address we sent, save it, then make it the default portal so it opens at start-up.
iPhone and iPad details
- Licence per device. An iPad and an iPhone each need their own Smart STB licence after the trial.
- Several sources. The listing mentions up to 8 portal positions and support for M3U playlists.
- Mobile data. Video uses a lot of data away from Wi-Fi. The data usage calculator shows how much.
- One screen. A Streamora subscription plays on one screen at a time. You can move it to another device later; just let us know.
If it does not load
Check the details character by character, restart the app and try again on a cable or closer to the router. The buffering guide covers slow starts and pauses. If it still fails, send us a screenshot on WhatsApp or write to contact@streamoratv.org; 24/7 support by real humans.
