Hello all.
This had actually fried my head for quite some time.
I have finally found a solution.
I am using a Mag 322.

First, you need a laptop with Putty installed
If you do not have Putty, grab it from here Download PuTTY: latest release (0.73)
Next, download the Mag 324 firmware from FIRMWARE UPDATES
Yes, that is not a mistake. Mag 324 firmware is ideal for the 322

Next, you must format a USB key to FAT32
Create a folder. The folder must be labeled mag322
In the mag322 folder, place the imageupdate file you downloaded from FIRMWARE UPDATES
Next, unplug the power from the Mag 322 for 5 seconds
Plug in your USB Key at the back of the Mag 322
Press and hold the menu key on the mag remote and plug the power back in while still keeping hold of the menu button on the remote
When the BIOS screen shows up, navigate to Update
Chose the Update by USB option and click Yes
The update will take up to 5 minutes only
After this, the Mag box will load.
You still may not see Portals.
If you do not, don't panic.
Go to System Settings, Network Information. Take note of the IP Address.
Open Putty on your laptop ensuring that your laptop is connected to the same network you Mag box is connected to.
In Putty, type in the IP address from the Mag Network Info screen. Port should be 22.
Ensure that SSH is selected in Putty.
Hit Open on Putty.
Now when Putty shows the black window to log in, use these settings.
Username is root
Password is 930920
Your nearly done!
Now in Putty, type the following exactly as it appears here.
fw_setenv custom_url_hider=false
now press enter on your laptop keyboard
Next, in Putty, type reboot
Now, you should see that your Mag has rebooted.
Wait until it loads and BOOM! Portals will now be visible.

This worked for me and I hope it works for you.

Thanks for the steps provided above, I will be making some additions based on my experience.

While using fw_setenv custom_url_hider=false , I was getting an invalid character error message, this was due to "=" symbol, you can actually use:
fw_setenv custom_url_hider false

Then you can check whether the above was set to false by executing:
fw_printenv

If you want to update your portal URL you can enter the following command:
fw_setenv portal1 your-portal-url-here

While using fw_printenv command you can check other enviroment variables and in case you want to clear them out to defaults you can use:
fw_setenv enviroment-variable-name
Exampe:
fw_setenv custom_url_hider

Thank you!

A lot lot of these boxes were sold and could only be unlocked by the provider no matter what anybody tried to get around it. A load were sold like that over in Spain and you had to renew the subscription with the original supplier.

i have luckily managed to wipe it. you have to press the reset button in on back when booting until it fast blinks. you can them put image on, otherwise you wont get past the dreaded wrong architecture message
