How to use

Connect the satellite dish cable to the DVB-S2X tuner input on the rear panel, attach the HDMI cable to your TV and connect the power supply (DC 12V–3A). Use the Enigma2 interface to scan satellite transponders, configure channels and set up recording locations (external HDD or microSD card). To enable network features, connect the receiver to your router via Ethernet or attach an external Wi‑Fi antenna. Install recommended mobile apps (dreamDroid for Android, e2Remote Lite for iOS) to control the device, schedule recordings and stream live or recorded content to smartphones, tablets or PCs.

Usage recommendations

For quieter recording, use a high-quality microSD card sized according to your storage needs (approx. 13 hours on 32 GB, 25 hours on 64 GB, 50 hours on 128 GB—actual duration depends on programme bitrate). Use the IR extender included in the package if the receiver is placed out of sight. Keep firmware and Enigma2 plugins updated to ensure best compatibility and performance.
