E2linkTV is a native front end in 8*LANGUAGES for the Enigma2 receiver you already own. Point it at your set-top box on your home network and your bouquets, channels and programme guide appear on your iPhone (available also for tvOS and macOS), in an app that opens in a second and then gets out of the way. Nothing is uploaded anywhere. There is no account to create, no server in the middle and no advertising. The app talks to your box, and to nothing else. *THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING MY WORK* WATCHING • Every bouquet and every channel, with the picons your box already publishes • Now and Next in the list, and the whole day's schedule for any channel while it plays • Zap to the next channel instantly, or open the strip along the bottom and jump anywhere in the bouquet • Audio track, aspect ratio and deinterlacing set per channel and remembered • Buffer size per channel, from off to five seconds, for connections that need the headroom • A stream that drops out is picked back up on its own, without leaving the channel YOUR SETUP • Up to four receivers, switched from the header without leaving the channel list • Each receiver keeps its own channel sort order • Choose which bouquet opens at start-up • Direct IPTV for boxes carrying IPTV bouquets — station logos and a programme guide come from the portal when the box itself has none • Transcoding where your image supports it PARENTAL CONTROL • A PIN locks individual channels or whole bouquets • Locks are kept per receiver, so the box in the kids' room and the one in the living room stay separate • A locked channel is masked in the list, in the guide and in the zap strip — not merely blocked when you try to play it WORKS WITH Receivers running Enigma2 with OpenWebIF enabled: OpenPLi, OpenATV and similar images on Octagon, Vu+, Dreambox, Zgemma and others. Playback is powered by VLC, so unusual codecs and containers are handled. FREE AND PRO The free tier covers one receiver and the first ten channels of your first bouquet — enough to see the app working against your own box before you pay for anything. Pro unlocks up to four receivers and every channel in every bouquet. Neither tier carries advertising. Seven interface languages: English, Slovak, German, Spanish, French, Polish and Hungarian. E2linkTV is not affiliated with any receiver manufacturer or Enigma2 image project. E2linkTV Pro is an auto-renewing subscription: • E2linkTV Pro — 6 Months • E2linkTV Pro — Year Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage your subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase.
