Enigma2 IPTV Boxes

by JakeSiemer

I am a recent owner of the Dreamlink T2 box, and I generally have an overall positive impression of the box -- however, since timeshift isn't working, the guide is god-aweful slow, and I cannot record a program and watch another at the same time, I have been researching alternative boxes that might solve these issues!

Formuler z7+ aside (it's basically the same box as the Dreamlink T2), the only other Android-based box that seems comparable in experience is the BuzzTV XPL 3000. From what I've researched, the UI is comparable to the Formuler/Dreamlink (if not, better), timeshift works without issue, and the guide populates very quickly -- but there seems to be some conflicting information on whether the box allows for recording and watching simultaneously. Maybe someone can help answer this question?

That being said, in my research I have also come across a whole new world of Enigma2-based boxes -- and there seems to be quite a few different boxes and manufacturers out there (Zgemma / VU+ / Mut@nt / Wetek / Meelo / Dreambox / Osmini), all basically supporting the same Enigma2 software images. Instead of me spending countless hours digging into the unknown, I was wondering if someone can help summarize what the best Enigma2 box is, what the best Enigma2 image is to put in these boxes, what the best method is to get IPTV running on these devices, and if there are any drawbacks to theses boxes that aren't present on Formuler/Dreamlink/BuzzTV devices.

Thanks in advance!

You can't have IPTV streams recorded and watched same time, that's only for satellite streams within same transponder or between 2 Tuners. IPTV runs normally on Enigma, groups are within bouquets, all providers that support m3u work fine, big ones like Flawless, Fab, Vaders etc have proper epg. Good boxes are not cheap as they include satellite tunner i.e Vu+ Solo4K is great, otherwise a Zgemma I55 is ok, OpenATV or images based on it are mostly used. Takes a little to learn but once working, you can enjoy proper TV Interface from a box made for TV and not chinese crap android boxes.

The android box, the interface looks good, and it's easy to use, why are you still using Enigma2?
