Dune HD is powerful because it gives a lot of control, but that also makes the first setup screen feel overloaded. Do not start with rare buffer or decoder options. First check the network, time and basic source. The box should have normal internet access without a captive browser login, receive DNS from the router and show the correct date. If date or timezone are wrong, the programme guide can be shifted and catch-up may open the wrong programme.
Setup order
Add the playlist as a separate source with a clear name, for example TVClub main. This keeps the working profile separate from experiments. Paste the full link and save it without extra characters. If the interface asks for source type, leave automatic mode until there is a specific reason to change it. After saving, refresh the channel list and wait until loading finishes. Interrupting the first load often creates the impression that the playlist is broken when it simply was not imported completely.
EPG should be checked separately from live channel playback. First make sure channels open in several groups, then move to the programme guide. If the guide is empty, refresh the EPG source and check whether a manual time offset is enabled. A common mistake is changing the offset to fix one channel and then shifting the entire schedule for every other channel. Set system time automatically first, then decide whether the player itself really needs an offset.
EPG and catch-up
Catch-up on Dune HD is best tested in two ways. The first is to open a completed programme from the EPG grid. The second is to move back on the timeline during live playback if the app supports that mode. If one method works and the other does not, the service is usually fine and the limitation belongs to the player interface. Keep the reliable path documented for yourself and avoid rebuilding the source unless there is a real playback failure.
After the basic test passes, configure group order, favourites and remote-control behaviour. Change one thing at a time and after each step check live playback, EPG and catch-up again. This looks slower, but it shows exactly which option helped and which only added noise. For daily viewing, the goal is predictability: the box starts, the profile loads, channels and guide are available without repairing settings every evening.
