Zgemma H7s Guide

the missus went at the remote and now if she presses epg all thats displayed is Irish Radio- how do I get back to original bouquet? I haven't used this box since I set it up last year so any help appreciated!

On the subject of radio . Is there a way force download EPG for radio stations not already loaded with a guide listing

Got my replacement H7S on Friday - top marks to Virts.ie for customer service!

Been having a fun weekend getting to grips with Enigma - still so much to learn...

There is no BBC 1+1, it must be one of the few channels without a +1. I don't know how long before programmes appear on the iplayer, it's not available here in normal circumstance

No it was on paused TV. On this box can you start watching a program that is recording before it's finished recording? Asking cause I've never tried due to my previous box now allowing this. That might be a way to avoid feeling like it's going to do the annoying jump thing.

I would email them and ask them why such an outdated image and WOS would ask what image you wanted and would be current on that one.

On first booting up or after flashing it goes through the wizard for setting up the box as nothing is set.

What's involved in installing multiple images on this box? I've OpenATV set up (and backed up) but I'd like to try other images too.

TIA - Peter

Does anyone know of an extension that will group tv shows in the files list? I have a bunch of shows that I record weekly and they are scattered in order of recording, which is a little bit annoying. It's not the end of the world, but would be useful to know.

On my hdd you can have an A - Z listing and all sorted in that group when going through my listings.

Numbers seem to come first like

911

Abba the movie

Warcraft

All programs going back many years.

You can have newest - oldest and can be scattered all over the place but i like to have all my series ones together.

My box froze the other night, when I rebooted it seems to have lost all my channels. I did a rescan and only a small number of channels were found. I ended up messing about and making a balls of the whole thing so I did a factory reset, just have OpenATV on it now.

I tried manually scanning, I set the satelite tuner to Astra 28.2 2E/2F/2G, but for some reason it is still only picking up a small number of channels and it is a real mixed bag, it finds Channel4+1, ITV3, Channel5 and about 30 orher random channels...no BBC. Normally a scan would find over a hundred channels if I recall properly.

Has anyone ever encountered this problem or any idea why bix is only picking up a small number of channels from Astra?

Thanks

Don't think it is a bouquets issue, I did not run that bouquets creation tool after the reset. I ran an auto scan on 28.2 need to go back and check transponders, I assumed auto would scan everything. Auto scan is picking up the same few channels as manual scan. The system info says OpenAtv 6.4 with last update 2020.

I notice the reception is poor on most of the channels it can pick up, picture getting pixilated. I wonder could this be an issue with damaged cable? I did check all the connections and they seem fine. The satelite dish has not moved either. I'm stumped.

Hi all,

Family member wanted a second box for their house, to replace a cheap/basic combo box in the bedroom. Downstairs has a Tiviar Alpha Plus, but they don't seem to be available these days. Was advised to get a H7S instead, so we did.

Bought from Satworld, and they say openvix is flashed onto it. I haven't got to the house yet to set it up, but hope to do so later today. This seems a rather large thread to catch up on, so just wondering if there's a brief "out of the box" few steps someone might be able to summarise for me?

A user on a different thread suggested I can back up the settings only from the Tiviar box, and restore them on the Zgemma...is that safe etc? (not an image backup, just settings).

Im just conscious that there's no pc or laptop to use in the house, except for a chromebook (so echanneliser isn't an option). I have a pc in my house, but no sat/saor connection. So maybe I could do the initial scans in the house with the dish, then bring the box home with me for tweaking?

Any help greatly appreciated

When you get a virgin box and plug it in the wizard will come up asking you to go through the settings for your location , network etc.

Setting up AutoBouquetMaker is handy as you can scan when box is connected up and setup network ip also.

Will you have an internal hdd or usb for storing epg to which is important.

Thats good and surprised they used Openvix images as last time they said no .

All my boxes are setup on Openvix and if using other E2 boxes have Samba Utilities running on both to allow you to view other boxes hdd recordings on other tv.

Yep, correct.
