Hi

Look for tunisiasat dreambox player v7. Think that will do the job, hope someone can confirm.

don't know a great deal about it but this is what i see
to the right of the channel click on the box that looks like a TV

I would just type the IP address 192.168.xxx of your box and press the webtv button. p.s. you can also watch on your mobile, number of free apps out there

you got "vlc player" on the laptop ?
if not , install it and right click the stream icon and "open with vlc"

Get 'Dreamstream' from Dream mulitmedia - fantastic programme, better than the web interface!!

lads it wont work when i right click it also just tried

dream stream doesnt work to good keeps buffering

[Mr S]

Seems like your network is slow or the speed of your network card on your machine.

Try connecting the dreambox to a switch via ethernet. Then connect your pc to that switch and try dreamstream. If you no longer have a buffering problem then you know you need to improve your network speeds.

Hi

I tried dreamstream what Mr S recommended and it works sweet so if your saying your speed is good then should be working fine as my broadband is not great but works fine.

VLC is a struggle though and I have tried the one I said but this dreamstream is the best I reckon, I had to edit the dreamstream config to get it to work but once sorted works great.

Just installed Dreamstream. All I get is a series of "still" pics from the channel I want to watch. What have I done wrong.

DM800se
Openpli
BB speed 5 Mb
Using wirelessly to laptop
Laptop approx 10 ft from DB


Any help appreciated.
