Pros and cons of Blackbox Live for Dreambox and Vu+ (formerly Dreambox LIVE) app for iPhone and iPad

Blackbox Live for Dreambox and Vu+ (formerly Dreambox LIVE) app good for

this app is getting better again with this version, almost everything I was still complaining about was fixed. but maybe i can ask for airplay support. it would be nice to stream our boxes easily to an apple tv in another room of the house. it would be nice also to be able to add a recording event to the box.

Great ! It works perfectly with my VU+ and my iPad. some scratch when I look at the channel list when streaming but all the rest is good.

Amazing program, and so easy to setup. Much easier than the desktop software out there, plus it is the only one I found the actually mirrors your dream box and can actually watch your live tv on ur iPad. There are still a couple things they can improve on, like the volume of the channels on the iPad is a bit low, some option to manually adjust the volume (equalizer) or something to allow higher volumes. Very nice indeed. Always room for improvement but still deserves 5 stars.. Worked with ease on my DM 500 My biggest issue is that multitasking doesnt work well , when u switch apps the video doesnt resume, u should shut the app and start it again.

DO NOT BUY for ipad 3 ,wont stream smoothly for even5 seconds.Upgraded dreambox ,upgraded router to N type, still wont work.Live stream works fine on the PC via VLC, not on this app...

The application streams my dreambox well but I updated my dreambox and it freezes and then works needs a fix on that bug

It works good. What need to be improved is ability to play HD channels and play channels which are not in bouquets.

Some bad moments

This application doesnt work at all, *Connection fails* Very good business after purchasing Thank u for letting peoples aware about how compatible your product,

I have iPhone 3GS and when I select the app appear main screen the app just close. Dont recomend... I hope for a fix or my money back...

One of the disadvantage of non-lite versions for the apps is that you only have the chance of testing the app once you buy it... So dont! I bought it and I tried everything as possible to watch something, but in the moment that any channel loads on the screen, the app freezes and quit.

very choppy cannot stream continuously for few seconds, i am suprised that the others are boasting about the App.

As soon as open app and config the receiver its close the all app. I never able to us I have tried on 4 iPhone , 4s iPhone and iPad 3 with latest OS 6.1. No support no fix do not recommended to any one no refund waste of time.

I am using this app on iPad Air with fibe DSL connection but it freeze every sec .
