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 โข Every bouquet and every channel, with the picons your box already publishes โข Now and Next in the list, and the whole day's schedule for any channel while it plays โข Zap to the next channel instantly, or open the strip along the bottom and jump anywhere in the bouquet โข Audio track, aspect ratio and deinterlacing set per channel and remembered โข Buffer size per channel, from off to five seconds, for connections that need the headroom โข A stream that drops out is picked back up on its own, without leaving the channel YOUR SETUP โข Up to four receivers, switched from the header without leaving the channel list โข Each receiver keeps its own channel sort order โข Choose which bouquet opens at start-up โข Direct IPTV for boxes carrying IPTV bouquets โ station logos and a programme guide come from the portal when the box itself has none โข Transcoding where your image supports it PARENTAL CONTROL โข A PIN locks individual channels or whole bouquets โข Locks are kept per receiver, so the box in the kids' room and the one in the living room stay separate โข A locked channel is masked in the list, in the guide and in the zap strip โ 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.

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.

ProperIpTv is a player for the IPTV service you already subscribe to. It provides no channels of its own. SIGN IN IN SECONDS Your provider sends a long link with your username and password buried inside it. Paste that link and ProperIpTv fills in all three sign-in fields for you. Your password goes straight into the system Keychain. If your provider gave you a plain M3U or m3u_plus playlist link instead, paste that โ there is no username or password to find. BUILT FOR A REAL SUBSCRIPTION A 28,000-channel list is not a list, it is a wall. ProperIpTv reads the country, genre and quality that providers bury in channel names, so "uk sport hd" is a search that actually works. And it shows you what it understood, as chips you can remove one word at a time. ONE ROW PER CHANNEL SD, HD, FHD and 4K copies of the same channel collapse into a single row. On a real provider that removed nearly 4,000 duplicate rows. IT PICKS THE VERSION YOUR DEVICE CAN PLAY Not the one with the biggest number in its name. What you have actually watched counts for more than any label on the feed. WHEN A STREAM FAILS, IT TELLS YOU WHY Not a hexadecimal error code. "The provider refused this channel, it may not be in your package, or your one connection is already in use elsewhere." Then it offers the versions of that channel your device can play, one tap away. A SECOND DECODER, BUILT IN Playback starts on Apple's own player, so you keep AirPlay, Picture in Picture and the native controls. For the formats Apple's frameworks cannot open, a bundled decoder takes over by itself. ALSO INSIDE - Programme guide showing what is on now across your favourites - Pin a programme and it writes a real Calendar event with an alert - Movies and series, with resume points and Continue Watching - Favourites, recently watched, and search by country, genre and quality - Native apps for iPhone, iPad and Mac Requires an active subscription from an IPTV provider. ProperIpTv does not include, host, resell or index any channels, films, series or playlists. You supply your own provider's address and login. Not affiliated with any provider or broadcaster.
