Zgemma H7S Triple Tuner STB

I have chosen this box to replace my Tiviar Alpha Plus which has been locking up on average at least once a week for the past few months. First impressions are good, it's much quicker to boot than the Tiviar, physically smaller, and there is also an element of future-proofing in that it can receive and display the very few 4K demo channels currently available.

One small negative point was I decided to get the box without a hard drive and the supplied screws for securing the drive inside the box are too long, so they either need to be used along with washers (not supplied) or replaced with shorter screws.

I am starting with a very basic OpenATV 6.4 image which can be downloaded and flashed without a USB stick and I haven't installed very many plugins so far. In fact I removed some of the plugins from the standard build which are not needed by me - plugins for satellite motors, Common Interface, etc.

At the moment, less than one week into using it, I'm still juggling with small niggles, in particular getting channels like Channel 4 HD, CNN HD, some of the music channels and AlJazeera HD to give me more details in the EPG than just now and next. I have joined the World of Satellite forum and am awaiting account approval before I can download a document which I am hopeful will solve this mystery. I know that there are various EPG plugins available for OpenATV but am confused about which ones can and can't be used with version 6.4 and the more online reading I do about this, the more confused I get!
