Can you watch your enigma 2 channels outside your house network?

[XSONY_NGUX]

I am guessing you can't because openwebif requires you to connect to the box which means you would need to be on the same network.

So is it possible?

 

[meatball1987]

yes you can but it needs to be port forwarded. open ports. i dont use it tho

How do i know what ports i need to forward?

It definitely works I have tried sand got it working on 4g but like it's been said its a security risk I guess with port forwarding. Also I never managed to do it on webif and instead used the Vu+ app on my iPhone worked great.

 

[YonyY]

I've decided to try a Slingbox as an alternative. You can pick them up very cheaply now.

 

[Kyser143]

Ok be sure to let us know if any good as will be going abroad for 6 wks and might come in handy for tv

 

[YonyY]

It only arrived in the last hour but I'll let you know how I get on.

 

[YonyY]

The Slingbox is great. Got a refurbed Pro-HD for £35 on ebay.

The big downside I can see is that because of the Zgemma's limited connectivity you can only get SD through the composite connection.

(I may have a go at improving this by using an adapter to go HDMI on the Zemma to Component on the Slingbox, and running back to the TV via Component.)

There's is another way you could use to view channels remotely... create a VPN connection into your home network. It's a bit more secure than port forwarding and if you have a decent home router it's fairly easy to do and all contained within that.

Either option requires a huge amount of upload bandwidth on your WAN connection however which is likely to limit the experience.

Any guides on how to do this

If you've no idea, a good starting point is here: How to Set Up Your Own Home VPN Server

Your options to start with are:
1) Use a router that has VPN capabilities built in (typically high end routers - not your VM Superhub!)
2) Use a router where you can install DDWRT (Lots of hardware out there, but it's not a straight forward process).
3) Host you own VPN server on a PC (So you will need a PC which is always switched on on your network if you go down this path).
