See IPTV links
One of the first advantages that the simple fact of having a deco at home gives us is that, depending on the model we have, the truth is that you can continue to be compatible with the rIPTV content production. So it will be as simple as putting the link of an IPTV list of channels so that we can see it directly on the TV.
something quite useful if we do not have the option to download an IPTV app for Smart TV, since with the deco it will be more than enough to easily access this content without having to think of another way to access IPTV content.
Play videos over the Internet
Second, in addition to watch IPTV through satellite decoWe also have the option for the deco to have different apps by default in which, in some cases, they will let us watch Internet videos, as is the case that they let us watch YouTube videos.
Although, we can also find other alternatives that offer us the possibility of playing content on streaming platforms. In this way, if we do not have a Smart TV that has all the apps or our TV is not even smart, with a deco we will be able to enjoy watch videos online.
Add a media player
If in your case you have a deco with linux, it is time that you take advantage of that and install Kodi, a multimedia player, which will allow you to have many more features. And it is that you will not only be able to have the option of playing content locally.
Basically, because by installing Kodi on the decoder you will be able to play links directly from that same interface of the player. More than anything, because this particular program is capable of offering us the alternative of add IPTV lists.
Download torrent files
Once again, if the satellite decoder has Linux it will be possible to get torrenting. But for this we will need specific plugins like Transmission. With this complement, we will have the opportunity to download content to a storage device that we have on the network or to a USB directly.
Record shows and channels
In the event that we have a deco at home, we will also have the option of using it to record programs that we want or, if we prefer, the television channels. In addition to that we will also be able to access the contents locally, since they will be stored.
We can even see them from outside the home. And it is that, in turn, we can record media to a NAS that we have connected to the network. In this way, we will be able to record content to a device via USB.
Play content locally
One of the last things that we can do with these devices is thanks to the fact that the vast majority of them have built-in local content players. With this, we can get to reproduce all kinds of multimedia content that we have in a flash drive or hard drive.
So it is a good alternative if we want watch a movie or series on TVThey even support different video formats. Everything will depend on the model we have. So it is another advantage that we must take into account of the decos.
