Common questions

What does the serial number look like?

For most receivers it's a 12-character hexadecimal code like 8A2F09E1B4C7. Some devices show shorter 8-character or longer 16-character codes. Copy exactly what your menu displays — the renewal system is case-sensitive.

What if the menu doesn't show a serial?

Try Information → Software Info, Tools → System Info, or look at the sticker on the back / bottom of the receiver. The serial is often printed there next to the bar code.

Is the serial the same as the MAC address?

No. The MAC is 17 characters with colons (00:1A:2B:3C:4D:5E). The serial is a continuous string of letters and numbers without separators. Always use the serial for renewal — never the MAC.

Why does renewal need my serial?

Each subscription is bound to one device serial. The provider (Apollo, Nashare, Funcam, etc.) checks your serial against their database to confirm an active subscription and apply the new expiry date. Without it, we can't process the renewal.

Can I find my serial without a TV?

Yes — use the device's HDMI output to a phone (with a USB-HDMI capture stick), connect via the manufacturer's mobile app where supported, or check the printed sticker on the receiver itself.
