FRITZ!App TV vs vuplusTV

The FRITZ!App TV is the perfect complement for the FRITZ!Box Cable with TV streaming functionality or a FRITZ!WLAN Repeater DVB-C. This app lets you watch all free-to-air channels broadcast on cable television on your iPhone or iPad (with iOS 12 or later). The television signal from the cable TV connection is distributed via WiFi or LAN throughout the entire home. Features: - Plays free-to-air TV channels - Program information - Full-screen playback - List of favorites and sorting - Mute - Switch channels by swiping or clicking button - Zoom by double-clicking Important: You can only use the FRITZ!App TV, if you have a FRITZ!Box Cable with TV streaming functionality enabled or the FRITZ!WLAN Repeater DVB-C. After DVB-C or live TV streaming has been configured in the home network and the channel search has been completed on the FRITZ!Box Cable or the FRITZ!WLAN Repeater DVB-C, start the FRITZ!App TV. The FRITZ!App TV detects the channels found and loads the channel list automatically. This means you can watch TV on your iPhone or iPad immediately, without configuring any other settings. - Minimum requirements: - DVB-C TV connection - iPhone or iPad with iOS 12 or later - FRITZ!WLAN Repeater DVB-C - FRITZ!Box Cable with TV streaming functionality enabled and FRITZ!OS version: - FRITZ!Box 6490 Cable with FRITZ!OS 6.20 or later - FRITZ!Box 6590 Cable with FRITZ!OS 6.83 or later - FRITZ!Box 6591 Cable with FRITZ!OS 7.20 or later - FRITZ!Box 6660 Cable with FRITZ!OS 7.20 or later - FRITZ!Box 6690 Cable with FRITZ!OS 7.29 or later

This App is a simplistic playback client for TV and Radio streams served by Enigma2 based set-top-boxes (STB) using the OpenWebIF web service running on the STB. Just enter the IP-Address and the port number of your Enigma2-based TV receiver and start watching Live-TV-Streams or Recordings stored on the STB. This App supports use of multiple Bouquets with TV and Radio services and multiple locations with recordings on the STB. With the upper HUD (Swipe Down during playback) you can select the audio channel and activate subtitles. The bottom HUD (Swipe Up during playback) enables zapping through LiveTV streams. During playback of recordings you can pause or use fast forward playback, which is limited because of using an HTTP connection for streaming. Enigma2 is a Linux based Open Source operating system widely used in receivers for satellite or cable TV. The App does not require file sharing (like SMB, FTP, NFS) enabled on the box. It only uses OpenWebIF via HTTP to read the Bouquets with your favorite TV stations and their current EPG information. Same applies for showing all the recordings you made on the STB. HTTPS for accessing OpenWebIF is not yet supported. FTP is used to backup some App data. This App is using VLCKit, licensed with its LGPLv2 license. VLC and VLCKit is a trademark of videolan.org.
