View Full Version : Dreamlink T1 - my first look

the T1 tester arrived here couple days ago.

I made room for it on the entertainment consule, next to a bunch of other devices and even robbed an ethernet connection from another device and connected the T1
Powered it up and got an internet connection (it was slow to appear, but it did).
Then things came to a stop.

I could not open the Server settings menu nor the Market menu.
I also noticed that there was no initial update which I heard should have taken place.

Talked to a couple gurus here and saw that yes indeed I did have the old original software version and no update took place.
So rebooted and stuff, but still no update.

After some contact with dreamlink team thru our guru members here, we decided it was my ACtiontec router (which had given problems in the past with the T4 model I have here, the team since fixed that with a bin release).

So with the T1 in hand , off to my buddies place to try it thru his router internet connection :)
Smart idea right ?
I gets there and what does he have but the same Actiontec router (same model exactly).
I had to chuckle.
Anyway I tried it. And the darn thing worked. Took the update, had success and everything was working fine.

Home I go and after some investigation saw that I had the ethernet from a piggy back router I use (because of all the many devices I have connected).
Changed that to an Ethernet straight to the Actiontec and all is good :)
Other devices work okay thru the piggy back router , so I never thought twice about it. Not till I seen buddies Actiontec work fine.

I told yous all that so I could also say thnx Android Man and NBS for their support thru this, and especially to the dreamlink team who were ready to ship my Actiontec router to them for study and a fix.

thnx guys and sorry about the false alarm :)



I will soon get some guides posted up for this T1 model, but really there is not much that needs explanation with this T1 model.
It is a fine box with great user accessibility and ease.

They have their own Market onboard with apps available for download (4 or 5 versions of Kodi are there)
They have the dreamonline app which is the server app and that works flawless.

I've had a dreamlink HD since they came out. Still going strong. I think I might wait on this one until more channels are in HD since my mag works great for iptv and my M8S is a champ for Kodi.

Scrolling is fast in Kodi and the DreamOnline app. You will need that as there is no 'page up/down' on the remote. Great picture quality, and very easy to set up for IPTV. Currently 27 apps in the Market. New users should expect to see a firmware update when connected to the internet. There are 2 VPN apps in the Market (FlashVPN and CloudVPN).

My only minor negative is the limited remote... very basic functions.

Dara the remote will page up and down if you use quick use by hitting OK on remote, and using the up and down arrow on remote. If using the epg mode it doesn't work that way as it gives you a couple hours in advance for each channel.

by the way,

what do the red,green,yellow and blue button do on the remote? cause there is no explanations on the User's manual about them?
Also, what are the "LIVE" and "VOD" buttons about?

Thanks guys for being always there for people like me :)

Might be easier to bridge a router to your main router, use it as an access point and have it connected to a VPN of your choice. Use that router to connect your IPTV box and voila, you never need take what's offered but choose what VPN you want without the box and its limited VPN's. I have PIA, had HMA, too many connected to their servers, found it was just too slow at peak periods, seems everyone wants to connect to Seattle servers ?

hma should work fine see free ones most of time only give you a few server and they limit your bandwidth do your homework on this if you going to run more then one vpn which i do and many other things too but yes they are great tools to have i pay 12 dollars a yr for one but it does what it says it will do thats all i ask oh even some say thats helps with tv freeze just do some reading on this
