Want to transform your Enigma2 (Zgemma) device into an IPTV powerhouse? With PuTTY, a free SSH/Telnet client for Windows, configuring IPTV on your Zgemma is a breeze. This guide provides straightforward instructions to walk you through the process.

What You’ll Need:

• An Enigma2 (Zgemma) device
• A computer with PuTTY installed
• An active internet connection
• A valid IPTV subscription from a reliable provider (like IPTV.LIMITED 😉 )

Let’s Get Started!

Step 1: Install PuTTY

• Download: Head over to the official PuTTY website and download the installation file.
• Install: Run the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions to install PuTTY on your computer.

Step 2: Find Your Zgemma’s IP Address

You’ll need the IP address of your Enigma2 device. This can usually be found in your device’s network settings menu.

Step 3: Configure PuTTY

• Launch PuTTY: Open the PuTTY application on your computer.
• Enter IP Address: In the “Host Name” field, enter the IP address of your Enigma2 device.
• Select Telnet: In the “Connection type” section, choose “Telnet.”
• Connect: Click the “Open” button to establish a connection with your Zgemma.

Step 4: Log in to Your Device

• Terminal Window: A black terminal window will appear.
• Enter Username: Type root and press Enter.
• Enter Password: Type your device’s root password and press Enter. (If you haven’t changed it, the default is usually “root”)

Step 5: Run the IPTV Auto-installer Script

Once logged in, you’ll need to run an IPTV auto-installer script. Important: Use the specific script provided by your IPTV provider, as it will be configured for their service.

Here’s a general example of what the script might look like:

sh
wget -O /etc/enigma2/iptv.sh “http://domainname.com:port/get.php?username=MyUser&password=MyPassword&type=enigma22_script&output=ts” && chmod 777 /etc/enigma2/iptv.sh   

 && /etc/enigma2/iptv.sh

Replace the example URL with the actual M3U URL provided by your IPTV service.

Step 6: Reboot Your Device

• After the script finishes running, type reboot and press Enter.
• Your Enigma2 device will restart. Once it’s back online, your IPTV setup should be complete!

Adding an Electronic Program Guide (EPG)

For a more user-friendly experience, consider adding an EPG to your IPTV channels.

Step 1: Download and Install E-Channelizer

• Download: Go to E-Channelizer’s download page and download the program.
• Install: Install E-Channelizer on your Windows computer.

Step 2: Assign EPG References

• Launch and Connect: Open E-Channelizer and connect it to your Enigma2 device.
• Drag and Drop: While holding the Ctrl key, drag and drop the corresponding satellite channel over the IPTV channel to assign the correct EPG reference.
• Save Changes: Write the changes back to your device. The GUI will restart, and your EPG should be set up.

Troubleshooting Tips:

• If you encounter issues connecting to your Enigma2 device using PuTTY, double-check that the SSH service is enabled on your device and that you’re using the correct IP address and port number. You might also need to adjust your firewall settings.
