dreambox on laptop

[Digger]

hi, is it possible to watch your dreambox on your laptop? i have my dreambox connected to a wireless router with an ethernet cable, can i c these stations wirelessly on my laptop? cheers

Enter the ip address of the dreambox into your web browser, username:root and password:dreambox.

That gives you the web interface. You can click on Zap and then choose a channel, that will switch to that channel on the dreambox. Then click WEB-X-TV at the top left and it will open and window and show you the live channel. Not all channels work but the majority of them do.

Do your images have a "VLC" link on the top right of the menu bar? I've found this to be quite useful if you don't want to go down the VLC plug-in route. It should produce a .M3U which you can open in VLC to view the stream coming from the Dreambox.
