Zgemma H7s Guide

I have never used subtitles but did have a lip sync and box rebooted seems to have fixed it.

That's it then. Virgin don't care and there's nothing the hard-of-hearing viewer can do about it. Their loss then.

Hi lads just tried a H7S on the dish and wiring that came with my new place and the channels are perfect.

One thing though is that timeshift and other hdd functions dont seem to be working. Getting the 1TB hdd in the slot at the back was a bit of a faff as it was so tight but its definitely in now as I hear it spin up if I put my ear to it on boot.

Its probably something to do with the mount options, however any change I make or anything I try to save in this menu makes the box crash and reboot. What am I actually trying to do here and why are there 4 options for one hdd? Partitions? Any help appreciated thanks.

Excellent thats done now thanks and all working, Im planning on reading this whole thread on my next night shift but seems like a great piece of kit so far.

This thing is pretty great tbh, must swap out my auld lads old Ariva 250 for one, he hates the timer recording and playback faff on that, setting a recording on the H7S is a breeze in comparison.

Hi lads sorry for another question but just before I get to grips with this monster thread can I just check there isnt some quick setup file or image someone made that will give you all the Irish channels first then all the British channels in the usual order.

Im actually struggling to see if theres any way to set up a combined channel list on the box itself and Im failing to see it, its very nice in use but not so nice when you need to do something like rearrange the channels in order or even combine Saorview and sat channels,

I assume I need to use some kind of web interface for this? Im just not seeing how though, the manual is useless. Is there a quick setup guide anywhere?

There is a way and somebody will talk you through how to set it up as i have my bouquets and epg separate.

Webif uses your box ip address on a laptop to control box box functions there also + it needs a lan connected to box

The BBC channels went through a lot of frequency changes recently, as all the regional variations moved to HD. You'll probably have to rescan some frequencies to get the channels back. The full list of tuning details are at https://en.kingofsat.net/pos-28.2E.php

As channels change frequencies quite often (and don't automatically update on your box like Sky does), it's worth finding out how to scan frequencies for channels and how to then put the scaned channels in order on your box. All the information you need should be contained in this thread, but if you've any specific questions, someone here is likely to help.

Is there any way to run an rj45 cable straight from my laptop to the H7S and use all the network functions that way? Connecting it straight to the router does nothing, doesn't seem to be anything I can do about it in settings either. What am I missing here?

I can honestly say having built a few gaming pcs and spent a lot of time messing around with flashing Chinese android phones, linux distros, modchips in game consoles and other stuff like that this is by far the most awkward bastard of a piece of technology I've ever come across in my life, it just refuses to cooperate, I've never seen anything like it.

I'm stuck with the channels that were on it the day I got it and nothing else I try works, I just want to reorder the channels and have Saorview and Freesat on the one list, the default list when you turn the box on. This is actually ridiculous now at this stage.

Via the laptop though, what do you mean by that please? Can I rj45 from the laptop to the box? An ip address or mac address or anything?

That is a very old Openvix Image as now on 6.3 series i think.

Do you have a live lan cable in your room ? yes and if you had a network switch 5 or more ports plug it into that and use the network wizard for setting up your connection. Many things may not work on that old version?

But when you plugged it into the box did you go into network settings and actually get a box ip like

192.168.0.127 and your port starts flashing on box.

I think moving channels around was discussed on earlier posts using remote.

Hi sorry to be annoying you again but you mention "It should work over ethernet to your router or via the laptop if sharing internet connection over ethernet."

Is there any way you could explain what you mean by that phrase in bold? It sounds like you're saying theres a way to network it just laptop port to H7S port and access the network functions for rearranging channels through that?

Okay thanks Ill give that a try when I get home on Sunday evening but tbh the whole saga has given me such an irrational hatred of it that Im tempted to just bring it back and get a refund and go with an Ariva or something I know will work.

The last thing I can think of and sorry for all the questions, is there a chance its this BlueHD skin that came with the box thats causing these problems? Is there a way to delete or disable this so its just whatever stock skin comes on the box? I do get the feeling when reading this thread and other forums that they're talking about different features that just dont seem to exist on mine and Im wondering if whoever installed blueHD and scanned the channels on mine before I got it messed something up.

Thats what Im asking over and over again though: is there anything I can do with a USB key to try and fix this or just change something in the hope that something starts working? Update the image is possible with a USB stick? Please someone just confirm that one question with a yes or no <<<

Please dont tell me to google it Ive wasted every evening for 2 weeks in my new house trying to get this piece of crap to do the most basic of functions you could expect out of the cheapest no name Chinese freeview box off facebook marketplace.

Thanks for the pm but they want your credit card and money to sign up so thats a no from me. Is there anywhere else like a wiki or anything? Everything you google brings you back to this thread then it sounds like people are talking about a different device.

All enigma 2 boxes with different names do the same thing .

One needs a good 8gb usb stick max size , Kingston , Cruzer , Integral , San disk.

Images downloaded are in zip format and need to be extracted first.

I never to tried to move channels, but my curiosity got the better of me and I figured it out.

This is how I did it.

Press TV button on remote control

Select all channels

Press Menu on remote control

Select Enable Move Mode

Scroll down to the channel you want to move (you can use the side arrows on your remote control to move up and down quicker)

When you get to the channel you want to move press OK on remote control

The channel will then turn RED

Then to move it to where you want to place it, use the using the side arrows on your remote control to move up and down

When you have it where you want to place it, press OK and the channel will go back from Red to White.

Do this with all the channels you want to move.

When you are happy with your selection and order

Press Menu and disable Move Mode

Then press Exit on your remote controll and the new channel list will be saved.

Print this and go step by step and you should be OK.

Best of luck

What plugin are you using for your EPG , does your box run on an old image i wonder.

Epg getting saved to Hdd or Usb.

Got it sorted. Thanks for your interest.

Never got kodi to work on any boxes and people are told to use an android for kodi

BTW a new OpenVIX version was just released, 6.4.001.
