Freesat V8 Super Sat2ip not working

Post by yazer79 »

Hi,
I just bought Freesat V8 Super. It is working except the Sat2IP function. I am using VLC / Windows 10.
When I click the uPNP option, I get "Freesat V8" option. When I click on it, nothing happens. The channels don't load or play.
I updated the receiver with the latest firmware (3-5-2018) didn't work either.
Any suggestions?

There is some discussion here.
And also here

Searching "sat2ip" will get you more posts.

Good luck.

I did, some saying that it is no longer working. Is this true?

I have not tried for a year.

I don't have a use for it.
There can be problems with internet providers blocking Freesat STB's at your house modem to stop card sharing.
My provider does that, as does many in Europe like Fritzbox.

Check that your internet is working to the box first.

You still need the net connected so the IP address's can be found unless you have your hub set to emulate like was described in one of those links.

I figured it out, if anyone has same problem, just enable "LCN" and set favorite channels
then on windows use VLC and select uPNP from Local Network

LCN is Local Channel Numbers.
This uses the channel number that the TV provider has allocated for their TV.

I have streamed Powervu via Sat2IP.
