Watch openbox on Wifi

[Happycamper]

We are on a campsite in S France, due to new Spot Beam we now require 1.2m dish to pick up BBC1 etc.

I have bought a 1.3m dish so thats been overcome.

I want to connect my openbox to a wifi router and allow laptops and tablets to view the TV source on the openbox. I want to share this TV with a few other British caravaners here on site who have been caught out with dishes that are now too small to pick up a sat signal.

A simple step by step would be much appreciated.

OpenBoxV5S

The only problem I see is the v5s has a single turner, therefore what you watch they also have to watch.

PS we dont actually have a reliable internet connection either, so the router would be to provide a local network I suppose

Thanks Martin,not a problem they can watch what they want in turn if they ask me

The only thing I can think of is scart AV senders, but don't know if they would have the range. But you could get a scart extenion cable and hang the senders out of the caravan window, might work?

how many outputs do you have on your lnb on your dish happycamper.

If you had gone the extra few ??? for a Linux Enigma2 receiver everyone on the campsite could have accessed the box via your router and Laptop/Tablets & Mobiles etc...

Unfortunately the Openbox V5S cannot do this

how about a slingbox.

no external internet connection will be possible but the wifi router can act as a local netwrok joining the slingbox and openbox and tablets/phones laptops that have the slingbox app running
