Zgemma H7s Guide

Not into the newer boxes as most of mine are 8 - 10 years old.

The one above is small and on WOS but from UK will have tax on it

Hopefully others can chip in with other ideas even from EU stockists.

There used to be a sat box with no tuner selling cheaper for using client mode years ago.

That is the same box on WOS and will take OpenVix image

Just edited last post again if you use Amazon DE

cathy, I got it working BUT its important to have the correct cable!! I have 2 cables that look excatly the same, except the the colour at the jack end is black on one and yellow on the other and… the yellow one works, its the one in the pic above. So your cable is probably the problem. However, initially I had a very poor pic with horizintal bars but by taking out the jack at box end and putting it back in slowly bingo got a picture and sound and it was not completely inserted. I am going from jack to a tv with the 3 rca sockets and cable not very long. I switched to openatv and when I select HDMI I get no output but then I select scart, pal and color format CVBS but it makes no difference if I select RGB, S-video or YPbPR.

tv says its 576i. I get pic via hdmi as well . Here is a pic, not great but tv is cheap.

The lead I use is really old.

ps I tried with openvix 6.4 and 6.6 using jack and all ok.

pps you can have the lead

pppss well well I changed the cable order on the balck end jack and ..got a pic, you could try same, here is pic that works

Yes you will have to get to the dish.

I wanted you to try this one as its H and will give you BBC1 NORTH WEST.

10773H, 23000 dvb-s2, 8psk,

ITV has regions as well and may have a H one along with CH4 it would tide you over. If you name the channels I can check.

But if busy not a bother.

Hi Swoofer, thanks again. Are you saying that I can manually tune in a channel? I thought you just wanted to know if I was getting a signal for the bbc channel. Now( finally) I get it! BBC 1 for dragons den would be great 😃.I've never manually tuned in a channel before, every day is a school day

Bellie1 you are in signal finder these pics show what you need to have in

signal finder and then enter the values, its all in this thread but so big now even I cant find where I explained it previously. When you are in signal finder you use the remote to toggle which means you place the cursor on the line you want to change and press right arrow. So make predefined user defined, then ensure dvb-s is dvb-s2, then use remote numbers to enter frequency, it will overwrite existing, make V H horizontal , other bits just toggle and make auto, there is a second page so arrow down and it should say 8psk, as you go through you should get a signal and lock. green to scan and channels appear select bbc1nw and it should open.

The above seems complex but its not. if stuck come back, I'm doing nothing today🤣, well for a while at least.

When you get the channels they will be in a bouquet called last scanned and when you scan again for another frequency they will get deleted so when found you have to save them 😂 and thats more for the learning curve.

If you go menu setup information about and take a pic I may be able to do a summary.

CalamariFritti setup guide from a few pages back.

Bellie slow down and read carefully, I gave you the instruction in post 2823 and you should do a pic with information on box, read my post again, And no you wont lose any existing channels. Signal finder means it finds the signal.

When the guy calls today you can have tv on and the channel with no signal, so when he adjusts/changes lnb you will get a picture. And get CNN tuned in as thats weak so if thats ok all the others are ok.

Signal finder will tell you the strength u can ring him on his mobile while at dish.

I added to CalamariFritti setup guide - manual scan, blind scan and signal finder.

Picked up this box last week ,didn't bother getting a hard drive fitted as thought I'd an external one I the house but its gone missing!

The box is the one with the HDD slot at the back .

Without opening the box up can this box also have one mounted inside ?

There will be very little recording done on this so was thinking a 128gb flash drive would suffice.

What people think the best option is ?

Cheers,yeah the "opening the box voids warranty" stickers is what was putting me off opening it if not needed.

IIl go with a SSD.

On the slave box that has no sat feed , setting up tuner also gives you option for client mode.

Input the IP address of the multi tuner box into the slave box , that will import channels and epg into the slave box and it might needing a reboot to import its data.

This will make use of that tuner on the master box

I use Samba and NFS plugins to access network mounts on other boxes and use to view recordings from those boxes.

Yes as i had OpenVix on it when sat cable worked , and reflashed to latest image.

Samba and NFS are plugins to make your box discoverable on your home network.

Years ago i could not get Samba to work so i added NFS.

Thanks so much.

So that refers to "host receiver" - is that the slave box?

So is "host receiver ip address" the ip address of the slave box?

If yes do I need to tell it the address of the master box I want to use??

Do I need to do any other settings at master box?

Sorry for all the basic questions- it might be more obvious when I have the slave box in front of me.
