Hi again. Creating a separate thread from the zgemma 7s one where this query started
I went with this

Rushing and not sure link is working, it's the German amazon one mention on page 57 of the zgemma h7s thread.
so I could do the client mode and watch channels from the zgemma 7s on this box.
The question is how do I add openvix to it?
At the moment the information section says this is what is on it
Yes and if you stick with client mode it should run ok but if you add the facility to access recordings then it would get overloaded. Keep it simple and it should run ok.
With networking cable is best and all the rest is just a workaround. The firestick is pretty good for wi fi and if that fails then there is a problem.
You can buy a long lan cable and I mean long.
Let us know how you get on.
Thanks - at least I am not going totally mad and did get the one you mentioned.
Not to worry.
Im back for a while. I'll check box reference again and there are quite a few.
I checked again and I linked the wrong box but it may have been the size that influenced
As you have hdmi in the TV in kitchen you can try the firestick in that.
The app you want is this one, there may be others but dont dabble until you are an expert. its on the amazon appstore.
Just download it and follow the prompts, you will only get a trial version, but will include recordings,the premium is 7.99. If your stick is very old then you have to allow for that. It may discover other devices but all you want is the ip of the zgemma.
Now as regards the zgemma you dont want all sorts of crap loaded on the stick so you should trim down the bouquets and only show the ones you want, ie hide them.
Tell me the generation of the firestick is it very old?
That vodafone box is a pain if I remember right. I think it combines 2.4 and 5 bands. I am with pure but I use an ASUS Router and on 500mb.
To make the app work all you need is ip of zgemma and then click next next and so on.
You are now entering the world of streaming and the tweaks are …
Its a brand new interface and its not bad.
😩🙈🙈
Thanks for working it out.
Well crap anyway. The links don't seem to be working on boards so I just copied your link into chrome and I didn't cop that it was a different box. It seemed to be the one you mentioned.
God I am making big work of this
Edit. Thanks so much again.
I tried to ask/set out from start what I was after but I think it got lost in the big h7s thread. Perhaps I should have had a different thread just asking about getting the channels from the h7s to a 2nd tv.
Edit 2.
Can you access recordings with the dreamplayer app?
If yes and if I decide to stay trying - would you go the firestick 4kmax or the correct box?
Edit 3 - can't find the box you mean. When I search your suggestion ( OCTAGON SFX6018 S2+IP 1x DVB-S2 HD H.265 HEVC, E2 Linux Smart Receiver, Satellite Receiver, Recording Function, Card Reader, YouTube, Web Radio, HDMI, Black) it seems to be the low powered one showing up.
Now you made a big boo boo, that box is cr~~~p. I thought you got the one I linked. Here is what you have
Memory 512MB DDR3 RAM
– Flash memory 512MB eMMC Flash
and this is what box I linked has.
1 gigabyte of memory and the 4 gigabyte eMMC flash memory
and therein lies your problem.
The TP AV 500 are old but your speeds are good.
Your firestick may be old and have low capacity but you can load an app called dreamplayer and it will stream from your enigma2 box.
If you could send that box back and get the better one you would be sorted.
The best firestick is the 4kmax the latest one.
You realise if I had all this info from the beginning 🤣
Here is a link for the dreamplayer but the trial version will have restrictions. You could give it a go and see. And then you could send back box and get a 4k max stick😂

You may have to fiddle with a few settings in the firestick if you have not done so already.
Hi swoofer.
Thanks for all that. So I returned the sx88 and
got the sfx6018.
YEs, that was original set up - I was only watching the free channels so felt was paying sky for live pause, series link and the rf2 distribution. I suppose I naively thought it would be easy replicate the rf2 to kitchen tv.
Speed on the powerline with laptop plugged in is 89.73 Mbps.
Speed on laptop WiFi standing beside tv is 91.13 but the satellite box is way more stable on the powerline than WiFi.
Broadband is fibre to home and up to 500Mbps.
Router is black vodafone Giga box.
With laptop plugged into router/modem thingy with ethernet cable it gets 393 Mbps.
The powerline are there since Christmas 2016 - (TP AV 500)
Yes have fireestick at main TV and big fan - have I options with one of those?
Edit - it seems 100Mbps is max the box can do in any event
cathy, you are using this box
for client mode but then you went to access recordings on the other box and you are using powerline.
The more tasks you set box for the more likely it will struggle. What speed do you get on the powerline, plug in laptop? How fast is your broadband, is it fibre to the home? What is the make of the router? Can you get any wi fi in kitchen.
Your initial setup was sky hd and using rf out to TV in kitchen so it has an analogue tuner.
You can get a wi fi extender that will boost signal and could benefit others. I got this for friend in Dec 23 for 40 euro but dear now.
That HDMI extender is a bit OTT.
Have you a firestick?
How old are the powerline?

Ya it has those
Missed post 41 saying tv has a scart connection , but does it have a hdmi connection and Hd ?
I had assumed you could get into the tuner settings and seen Client mode , thats a lot of sats in there and thinking used in a motorised dish or multiple lnbs setup.
Thanks.
Ya it's even a struggle to see how to reset the app to remove the url of the main box from the app as settings for the app stopped being available once I entered the details.
No biggie.
Ya going to see can I return.
Thanks again for finding the other box.
That would drive me nuts but thanks for posting. Don't mess too much in case you muck up box. I assume you can return it and as its in the EU its easy peasy.
Yes ye bet me too it. That's exactly it.
It's more a smart iptv app than a client mode.
So you put in address of main box.
It copied over the bouquets. I have the saorview copied into a bouquet with the UK channels and it missed the first channel.
It's not showing an epg and no access to recordings etc. Changing channel is painfully slow. Fastest way is to click out of app and back in and select new channel.
In terms of tuners it seems semi locked down.
Edit - will check those in a bit, think they might be in wrong order and I have missed one and put one up twice instead.
Ahh so its an App in use and not a configuration of the tuner.
greaspalm I can see your logic , andy says no good but over on Techkings this
"IP E2TV Multiroom TV Client System for Enigma2 devices is an app and when you open it up you get the facility to enter IP from Zgemma H7S and the rest, then do a reboot and it may import channel data and bouquets.
However, I doubt it, I think it may stream the current channel but it would need to be tested and is it worth it if the other box can use openvix, price is about the same and size.
Very confusing when reading the Octagon review on Amazon for that box and says
Experience your content in crisp Full HD resolution at 60 frames per second (1920 x 1080 pixels) with the OCTAGON SX88 SE V2 WL HD H.265 S2+IP Receiver. The box supports the SX88 SE V2 WL HD H.265 IP E2TV Multiroom TV Client System for Enigma2 devices and decodes content in the HEVC/H.265 standard. In addition to standards such as H.264 and AVS, it supports almost all video, audio and image formats.
Spot on thank you.
Ya was wondering would I get lan and wifi just to have the option (if the wifi worked etc, normal disclaimer! 😊 )
it was the 75 one . Just be sure. I think you use powerline and one I saw had lan.
Thanks again. Can I just check which one you are looking at.
This one is 75 (no wifi)
This one is 79
This one is 78.79
This one is 92 (and has wifi stick)
The last one has no reviews.
The others have differing numbers of reviews so can distinguish them that way as well
Only trying to help you out to see if there was another way of seeing if Client mode could be used , did not meant to be aggressive in helping in helping out
Must have missed the tuner if you posted info on it.
Am ..... explained the tuners already but given the help I was just coming on with pics to answer that but the private message saying you have been asking for hours on top of those messages was a bit ott and comes across as passive aggressive.
Edit I am really grateful for people trying to help
Great thanks. I have prime UK- will check can I get German prime.
Its showing as €92 and €8 delivery for me
yes and just noticed I have an amazon de account and its 75 euro but if i just search it shoots up to 95. I have prime.
14.0 x 9.2 x 2.5cms
and your one
12.5cms long x 9.5cms wide x 2.5cms
so should fit
No answer on the Tuner setup if you entered it to see if Client mode?
😀
Posts crossed.
BBrilliant thanks. Link not working on phone - Is that the one that is £65 sterling on WOS?
I must have your head fried. Enjoy the football and I can get this sorted over next few days.
Should have came back to you on the jack. When inlaws (in waiting) heard we were leaving sky they also left and couldn't be persuaded to wait a few weeks and see how we got on.
They had same set up as us. Got the jack working but pic quality not great. Their 2nd tv had smart iptv built in and I paid the €5.50 and added zgemma channel list to that. Only got epg for 75% of channels and buffers during matches (using powerline adapters) and weirdly and madly when downloading channel list it kept missing the first channel on the list - which happened to be rte 1. Anyway they ok for moment.
.......
Our set up. Kitchen tv is led hd also has a scart imput. I was happy with rf2 from sky hd box but not happy with jack on other box.
Want the channels from the zgemma, and epg and be able to hide box behind tv so room to play with in terms of length and width but be trying to keep height as low as possible. Box under discussion is only 2.5cm so seemed ideal!!! Is under 3.5 or 4 realistic?
I think that's everything.
I am watching a team getting played off the park and still 0-0😮
This one will do the job.
And a good price and small
save all the faffing about, even get 2
Yes as i have multiple boxes all running Openvix and networked , if i only needed a client box i have a Vu Zero now running on Client mode.
I think Client Mode is whats needed most and if box cannot use OpenVix is worth a try.
Never even looked up what is MiniDLNA is or used for 😂
If @cathy427 box lists Client Mode it will be better i think?
The problem is the box is aimed at german market and OP was banking on Vix, as its a totally new box it may not be user friendly but you are right it must have menus like setup, network but I think when setup a whole load of apps will appear.
Andy is good on networks and does not hold out much hope.
I know on vix if I go network utilities I can see MiniDLNA and it has a slot for DLNA and so has new box but you need to know what to do although it may be obvious. And it may not be compatible with Openvix.
Its worth a try.
