Enigma2 receivers

Vu+, Zgemma, Dreambox and other Enigma2 receivers are no longer used at Fast-Forward and are not actively supported. The easiest way forward: switch to one of our Android boxes with Fastmate V2.

Why we stopped with Enigma2

Streaming on an Enigma2 receiver needs plugins, FTP access and a lot of trial and error with settings. Our older plugins and guides are outdated and no longer work. An Android box gives you a faster, simpler and more complete experience, and our team can support it fully.

Route A Recommended
Switch to a Fast-Forward box

Our boxes come pre-configured and are often bundled with a subscription. You get Fastmate V2 with a full programme guide, recordings, multiview and catch-up, operated with a normal remote control.

  1. Connect the box to a free HDMI port on your TV, next to or instead of your Enigma2 receiver.
  2. Connect a network cable for the most stable picture, or use Wi-Fi during the box setup.
  3. Choose the HDMI input of the box on your TV and open the app. If asked, enter the subscription details you received from Fast-Forward.
Want to keep watching satellite TV? Your Enigma2 receiver can stay connected for your satellite channels. You simply switch between the two HDMI inputs. See the full range in our shop.

Prefer to keep using your receiver?

Experienced Enigma2 users can still use their Fast-Forward subscription with community plugins. The plugins below are free, open source and still maintained, and they work with the Xtream details you receive from us.

Plugin What it does
XStreamity Plays live TV, films and series straight from your Xtream login, with a programme guide and catch-up.
Bouquet Maker Xtream Turns your subscription into regular Enigma2 bouquets, so channels appear next to your satellite channels.
Not actively supported. We gladly send you your Xtream details, but the Fast-Forward team does not help with installing or configuring Enigma2 plugins. For questions about the plugins, use the Enigma2 community forums. Our old Jedi Maker Xtream guide and download are no longer available.
Frequently asked questions

Short answers to what Enigma2 users ask us most.

Does my Fast-Forward subscription still work on Enigma2?
Technically yes, with community plugins such as XStreamity. We no longer support it actively, so you set it up yourself.
Can I use Fastmate V2 on my Vu+ or Zgemma?
No. Enigma2 receivers run Linux, not Android, so Fastmate V2 cannot be installed. An Android box via HDMI is the way to use Fastmate V2.
Where is the old Jedi Maker Xtream guide?
That guide and its download were outdated and have been removed. Bouquet Maker Xtream from the same developer does the same job today.
Can I keep my receiver for satellite TV?
Yes. Connect a Fast-Forward box to another HDMI port and switch between satellite and streaming with the input button of your TV.
Can I test it before I buy?
Yes. Request a free 24-hour trial, no payment needed.
