    connect to box via android

    Is it possible to connect to my android tablet or phone and watch from the box
    if it is possible is it only through wi-fi? Or can it be done via 3g

    many thanks

    Yes you can, just type in IP address of box and click on little stream icon.

    You can do it outside network but u need to set ip forwarding and potential for hack if not done properly.

    Dont click the stream option on the lefthand side

    At the top of the page on left
    click main

    then television


    Then boquets
    click on the boquet you want
    That will display the stations in that boquet

    On the right hand side you should see 3 little icons

    Hover your mouse over these and you will see the first little screen says show epg
    2nd little screen says stream
    3rd little screen says stream transcoded

    if you click on the little icon that says stream it should prompt you for what media player you want to use to view

    I think this is what the previous poster meant when he said click on stream


    You can also use an app like dreamdroid or vu+player

    Tried that but no luck....when I hit main,television, and select channel it gives me two icons...one on the right downloads something like stream.m3u....but can't open file...icon on the left brings up EPG for the channel....it has icons for timers and if I hit play icon it changes it to that channel on TV....had a look at the vu+ player all also....is there a standard password for it
    Many thanks

    This is a vid by the maker of dreamdroid

    also when prompted for what player you want to use uncheck the

    always use this player

    That way if the player you try does not work next time you try you can pick a different one
    when you find one that works you can check the box
