Zgemma H7s Guide

Yes all channels, I turned it off and on if that is what you mean? Is there a separate option for a full reboot?

OK have the skins sorted. I can see some plugins I downloaded just to test it. Moviemanager is one that will not show up on the plugin browser. I've tried deleting and reinstalling

The epg is going to HDD.

I think that I have set up a password but not 100% sure if done correctly. I am able to use the system when I log in on the laptop.

Since I reflashed when something is recording the time is stuck at the time the recording started. It used to update when the box was on standby.

I just tapped in the address on the laptop and I can work away with it. Had a look there and FTP is enabled and running on the box so I must have set it up correctly.

Before this morning if something was recording and the box was on standby the time would show correctly. Now it seems to just get stuck on the time the recording starts. I'm sure I had to do something before but I can't remember now.

That would make sense that the moviemanager plugin could be outdated because any others I downloaded appeared on the plugins browser. I must remove the ones I downloaded as an experiment .

Thank you.

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?
