Using PuTTY, a free SSH/Telnet client for Windows, setting up IPTV on your Enigma2 (Zgemma) device is an easy process.

This guide will walk you through each step with clear instructions.

Step 1: Install PuTTY

First, you need to download and install PuTTY. You can find it on the official PuTTY website.

1. Download PuTTY: Visit the PuTTY website and download the installation file.
2. Install PuTTY: Open the downloaded file and follow the installation instructions.

Step 2: Get Your Box IP Address

You will need the IP address of your Enigma2 device, which is typically located in the network settings of the device.

Step 3: Configure PuTTY

Open the PuTTY application on your computer.

In the “Host Name” field, input the IP address of your Enigma2 device.

In the “Connection type” section, choose “Telnet.”
Click the “Open” button to initiate the connection.

Step 4: Log In to Your Device

A black screen (terminal window) will open.

• Enter Root User: Type root and press Enter.
• Enter Password: Type your device’s root password and press Enter.

Step 5: Run the IPTV Auto-installer Script

Once logged in, you need to enter the IPTV auto-installer script. Note that the script provided here is just an example. Use the script provided by your IPTV provider.

Replace http://domainname.com:port/get.php?username=MyUser&password=MyPassword&type=enigma22_script&output=ts with the actual M3U URL provided by your IPTV service.

Step 6: Reboot Your Device

1. Once the script has finished running, type reboot and hit Enter.
2. Your Enigma2 device will restart. After the reboot, your IPTV setup should be finalized.

Adding EPG to Your IPTV Subscription

To enhance your viewing experience, you may want to incorporate an Electronic Program Guide (EPG) into your IPTV channels.

Step 1: Download E-Channelizer

1. Download E-Channelizer: Visit the E-Channelizer download page and get the program.
2. Install E-Channelizer: Set up the program on your Windows computer.

Step 2: Assign EPG References

1. Open the program and connect it to your Enigma2 device.
2. While holding the Ctrl key, drag and drop the corresponding Satellite channel onto the IPTV channel. This will assign the appropriate EPG reference.
3. Save the changes back to your device. The GUI will restart, and your EPG should now be configured.
