Enigma2, Dreambox, Vu+ IPTV Setup Guide
Configure IPTV on your Enigma2-based receivers easily
Find Your Receiver's IP Address
First, you need to locate your receiver's IP address on your Enigma2 device:
- Navigate to Settings/Setup on your receiver.
- Select System.
- Go to Network.
- Choose Device Setup.
- Select Adapter Settings.
- Note your IP address (it typically starts with 192.168.x.x).
Pro Tip
It's a good idea to set a static IP address for your Enigma2 receiver to ensure the IP address doesn't change over time.
Download and Install PuTTY
Next, you'll need PuTTY software to connect to your receiver:
- On your Windows PC, download PuTTY from the official website: https://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe
- Save the file to your computer.
- No installation is required - simply double-click the executable file to run it.
Note
PuTTY is a free SSH and Telnet client for Windows. We'll use it to connect to your Enigma2 device and install the IPTV service.
Connect to Your Receiver Using PuTTY
Now it's time to establish a connection to your Enigma2 device:
- Open PuTTY on your Windows PC.
- In the "Host Name (or IP address)" field, enter the IP address you noted from Step 1.
- Set "Port" to 23.
- Make sure "Connection type" is set to Telnet.
- Click the Open button to connect to your device.
Pro Tip
You can save this configuration in PuTTY for future use by entering a name in the "Saved Sessions" field and clicking "Save".
Login to Your Receiver
After connecting, you'll need to log in to your Enigma2 device:
- When prompted for login, enter: root
- When prompted for password, enter: root (Note: The default password is usually "root" unless you've changed it)
- Press Enter after typing each one.
Note
If the default login doesn't work, you may need to consult your receiver's documentation for the correct login credentials.
Install IPTV Service
Now you'll install the IPTV service using your subscription URL:
- Copy your IPTV subscription URL (you will receive this after purchasing your subscription).
- In the PuTTY terminal, paste the URL by right-clicking (don't use Ctrl+V).
- Press Enter to execute the command.
- Wait for the installation to complete. You'll see confirmation messages as the process runs.
Pro Tip
Take a screenshot of your subscription details or save them in a secure note for future reference.
Restart Your Receiver
After the installation completes, you need to restart your receiver to apply the changes:
- In the terminal, type: reboot
- Press Enter to execute the command.
- Wait for your receiver to fully restart.
Note
The reboot process typically takes about 1-2 minutes. Wait for your receiver to fully restart before proceeding to the next step.
