Functions and Features

• EPG (Electronic Program Guide):

  An Electronic Program Guide (EPG) in Dreambox IPTV serves as a schedule for live television channels and highlight times and program details. It allows users to scroll and select upcoming or re-aired shows easily. Moreover, it features a programming listing with information on the duration, names, and potential hyperlinks to additional details to aid in the discovery of new content.

• Recording & Replay:

  Recording and replay functions enable users to save their favourite live TV shows and movies and go back and watch them later, even if those programs are not presently accessible on-demand. These functions usually include a straightforward interface for initiating recording by clicking on a program and selecting a save option. In addition, an integrated playback option allows users to access their recorded content directly from the view menu, ensuring that they do not miss anything important.

• Advanced streaming:

  Dreambox IPTV offers various advanced streaming features, such as customizable playlists, which allow users to create personalized lists of preferred channels for quick access. In addition, the multi-device support enables users to watch content on various gadgets, such as smartphones, tablets or computers, ensuring flexibility. Moreover, integration with streaming services provides access to additional on-demand content through popular platforms, making Dreambox IPTV a comprehensive entertainment solution.

• PAR (Picture Aspect Ratio) Adjustment:

  Dreambox IPTV has a Picture Aspect Ratio (PAR) adjustment feature that is important for users watching TV in a different screen size than usually. This adjustment enables the elongation or squishing of images to make them fit properly on screens by changing the aspect ratio. It is key for ensuring that users get a good quality picture and not a stretched or squished one. As a result, the adjustment enhances the overall viewing experience by making everything look balanced and natural, particularly when watched content has a different ratio.

• VPN Compatibility:

  Dreambox IPTV's VPN compatibility enables users to protect their privacy when using the service and access more content. By connecting through a VPN, users' data and information are kept safe and hidden, ensuring that their viewing habits cannot be tracked or seen by anyone else. In addition, VPN compatibility helps users get around restrictions and blocks by allowing them to choose a server location. This means users can access a wider range of TV shows, movies, and channels that might not be available in their country directly.

How to choose Dreambox IPTV

Choosing a Dreambox IPTV that meets specific needs takes more than just picking a popular model. Factors such as the number of tuners, operating system, budget, and device compatibility play a crucial role in the user experience. Here are some tips to consider when choosing a Dreambox IPTV;

• Model: Different Dreambox IPTV models are available, each catering to unique preferences and requirements. Some popular models include Dreambox DM920, Dreambox DM500 HD, Dreambox DM7020s, and Dreambox DM7080 HD. While the DM920 is a highly rated premium model with 4K video streaming capabilities, the DM500 HD is a powerful yet cost-friendly model suitable for IPTV streaming. Manufacturers release new models and upgrades, so checking the latest model in the Dreambox series is good before purchasing.
• Dual and triple tuners: Some Dreambox IPTV models come with dual and triple tuners. Dual tuners have two separate TV tuners that allow users to watch one channel and record another simultaneously. Triple tuners have three TV tuners with the same capabilities the dual tuners have, but even more so. These additional tuners enhance the TV viewing experience, making it easy to switch between different IPTV channels and programming without latency or buffering.
• Operating system: Dreambox IPTV devices run on Linux-based operating systems. The OS is pre-installed and cannot be changed. However, users can install a customized operating system version like OpenATV, OpenVision, or Gemini on the Dreambox box for added functionality and features.
• Budget: Dreambox IPTV models offer different price ranges depending on their unique features, capabilities, and technology. Basic models with essential IPTV streaming functions are more affordable than advanced options with 4K streaming and smart TV features. Considering the budget is essential for making a cost-effective decision and managing expectations on functionality and performance.
• Device compatibility: Consider which devices will be used to access IPTV content. Dreambox IPTV boxes connect to a TV via HDMI and have a remote control for navigation. Nonetheless, some models support device compatibility beyond IP TV boxes and satellite tuners. They include Enigma2-based receivers, Smart TV, and Android devices. Users can install Dreambox or Enigma2 apps on compatible devices to access IPTV streams and control TV viewing without using a dedicated Dreambox box.
