Zgemma H7s Guide

swoofer

are you sure there is a Vix image for the H17? Openatv 7.5 has an image for it.

Seems to be the case Swoofer,no Vix image.

I'll settle for OpenAtv.

That box is very rare, did you buy it on amazon de? Be careful I think it may be dodgy and not seen many about. If vix dont support it then I'd steer clear.

No,bought it on Amazon fr.

Same supplier I bought my H7 from.

The same one is on Zgemma.co.uk. and all of the other Amazon sites except Irl.

Any of the reviews I've seen are positive.

Now that is really weird, when I check FR I get a 1 star for 120eur, then on DE its 150eur plus postage and 1 star. I cant find it on UK Amazon!!

Where are you finding the reviews? Over on linux it has a bit about freezing.

My desktop may have gone mad😁

Im waiting on a call so just browsing.

I bought the octagon s8008 supreme , the new one with the nvme hard drive slot.

Its slow , but all single tuner boxes are slow , however it is a great box for tinkering.

It comes with its own OS called " Define" and apps , and you install whatever image you want via the menus in Define.

You can install any E2 OS you want , there are all there as an option and the number of "slots" for E2 OS is only limited by the size of the hard drive.

Ive been messing about with just about every E2 OS there is , and still none better than Vix , so as above , if the box you get hasnt got a vix image available , beware.

Just to add , all these single tuner boxes were bought on instruction from the Mrs.

First she says just any list with both RTE and FTA on it will do. Says She doesnt care about all that " techy" stuff. ( Shes a license distribution controller for Microsoft ……. a bit hypocritical , but after all these years I know when to keep my mouth shut )

So I got a Walker 43 inch and set it up.

Then she says " wheres the EPG ? "

So I got a firestick 4K max and added it to the walker , using enigma 2 plugin.

Nope she says , cant be doing with all that faff of changing inputs and going to TV and selecting the E2 plugin and waiting for the EPG to load !!!!!

So got a single tuner box , the Zgemma H28H , a real POS ……. Nope she says , thats too slow and freezes on BBC news HD and ITV HD

So got the Octagon S8008 , and she says no , thats too slow , doesnt work as fast as the one in the " Cinema Room" ( Had a media wall installed in the sitting room ….. its the Cinema Room now )

Ended up getting another VU+ Duo 4K SE , the blutooth version so there is an extra BT added to that name.

Now shes happy.

A long journey , but basically , I should have just went ahead and done what I wanted too in the first place.

LG TV and VU+ ……..

The Walker is a real piece of junk picture wise , only got it for its " combined list " which wasnt good enough in the end.

LG LCDs wipe the floor with any walker.

LOL. You made the mistake of not checking the WAF on said devices.

I see Walker TVs quite often in hotel rooms for when away for work. They are a complete POS.

Changed from a Walker to an LG recently, LG picture quality a lot better but the Walker, Vestel, ( Toshiba, Nordmende, Telefunken) etc combined list, recording function much more practical. Pros and cons to both.
