Zgemma H7s Guide

Check this site for up to date channel list as many tps might not have channels on or moved.

What channel is missing so i can check mine.

Do a non ABM scan on the whole 28.2 and how many channels are found on your scan.

Did you say what image version is your box on ?

You are not moving from Sky q by any chance? Sky q will pick up sme requencise but not all when used with non sky q boxes. BBC one HD IS on 10818.

DVB-S2 8PSK, 10818 VERTICAL, SYMBOL RATE 23000, FEC 3/4 

And if box has 2 cables attached you can check each input using signal finder by toggling between A and B but pause each time, then you can enter a channel thats horizontal use 10773H rest same as above. If you get signal on one and not the other then its lnb. Outputs can fail, is it a quad lnb ie 4 outputs,

A full scan gets 845 channels.

If lnb is very old then thats a good start but dish can be slightly off as well/

@Alun they are in the process of migrating the BBC radio channels to different TPs. It should be sorted in the next day or so.

Thanks, I thought it was something to do with that. I'll check again in a few days.

By the way, is there any good reason why the radio stations on Astra 28.2E don't show up in radio bouquets generated by ABM, when you press the radio button on the remote, like they do for the Saorview and Astra 19.2E ones?

That's interesting. I had an issue a few months back where my internal SSD drive stopped working after I'd taken the cover off to take a photograph of the drive location for a post on here :) I did notice the SATA cable was indeed very short and twisted, but I'm sure I tried another longer SATA cable I had lying around and that didn't solve it, so maybe that wasn't the problem at all. It's now in an external USB enclosure and is working fine so I don't want to jinx it any further by taking the cover off again!

They might already be there but not on your channel list.

Try This.

Press the TV Button on your remote control

Press the Yellow Button for Providers

Select BSkyB

Using the side arrows either side of the OK button on your remote control, scroll up or down to the channel you are missing.

When you have found and it is highlighted ( make sure there is a sort of brown colour after it to ensure it transmitting )

Press Menu and you will see a list of options

Select Add To Bouquets

Select all Channels

Your missing channels will be now be on the bottom of your channel list and epg grid list

If the above dosen't work the frequency for BBC1 London and BBC 4 are the same below

Menu--setup--tuners and scanners-- manual scan

Type of scan should be User Defined Scan

Enter the info in the above attachment and search

When your channels are found, exit back to tv.

THEN press the TV BUTTON on your remote control and scroll down to Last Scanned folder

Your missing channels should be stored there.

Scroll to the channel you wish to add to your channel list

Press Menu and you will see a list of options

Select Add To Bouquets

Select all Channels

Your missing channels will be now be on the bottom of your channel list and epg grid list

Is there a way to delete multiple recordings in one fell swoop or do they have to be deleted individually one by one?

Also if the recordings are contained inside a single folder, you can simply delete that folder.

What sort of timer was it recorded on Auto Timer will need to be deleted of the ones you dont want anymore

Well it looks like they've finally got their act together, and all the BBC radio channels are now in the right place with correct channel names etc.

To delete a timer, when you press the MENU button choose TIMERS then TIMERS or AUTOTIMERS as required and delete from there using the appropriate coloured button. Normal timers are one-off events but autotimers repeat until you change/delete them. An autotimer will creat a new entry under timers if it has found a match. Perhaps that is why you deleted one instance of a timer but it came back again because the autotimer was still in place.

By the way, if you long press the Timer button you'll get into the Autotimers list. Saves going through the menus.

The best ones to use are Sky UK and SAORVIEW, Freeview is the UK Aerial service so you must be near a reception area. I use London HD and FTA only. That should get the lot but I also hide sections like ADULT to make it more manageable.

I never use FREESAT as it misses channels

This is on Openvix 6.4

I think you are on Openvix and yes you can pause and rewind but as per usual you may have to tweak the settings. The pause button is below the green button and by default it should work. I assume you have a HDD installed. Try that first and just to note when you go to another channel you will get a few options.

To set it up go menu setup recordings etc, just click and follow the guide. To have a rewind you need timeshift enabled

I dont use it very much but others who do will be along to say more. Make sure your 2 tuners are configured as simple single astra 28east.

Timeshifting is set by default to only start once you've paused once. You can set it to always start after a certain delay though.

Menu, Setup, Recordings , Playback and Timeshift, Timeshift

Automatically start timeshift after ...

I wouldn't worry too much about wearing out an SSD by using it as a timeshift buffer. It was a concern when they first came out, but as an example the Samsung 870 EVO I'm using has a TBW rating (TeraBytes Written) of 600. Which means you can write 600TB to it until it's likely to start to degrade.

Assuming HD broadcast TV transmits at very roughly 0.5 MB/s on average, 600 TB (600,000,000 MB) would equate to

600,000,000 / 60 / 60 / 24 / 365 / 0.5 = 38 years of continuous TV watching :) There's filesystem overheads to take into account as well, of course, but you get the picture!

An HDD is another matter of course.

My H7S only has 1 sat feed and 1 Saorview and works , wonder what issues do you have and not using Sky Q lnb?

What image are you using ?

No , have you got a working aerial and what area is it set to as I use 3 rock for Saorview.

Choosing wrong area screws up wrong info

No, half the channels disappear when its recording, it was good for Saorview/Sat clashes though or I thought it was until this issue.

Doesnt really matter anything I miss I can just download and it will show up in Plex later, annoying though.

To use the box correctly you need 2 sat cables. Using one cable you need cable connected to tuner A and B set to equal TUNER A. You should run another cable for optimum performance. The one tuner when recording makes that tuner busy and you can only watch channels that are on same transponder. thats why all the other channels are greyed out. There is also a setting in recordings where you assign the tuner to be used for recording and that will lock it. For SAORVIEW the same will apply but SAORVIEW has 2 muxes so if the channel you are recording is on Mux 1 you cant view or record a channel on mux 2 but you can record all the channels on each mux in one go but only one mux.

thats why sky has 2 cables = 2 sat tuners = record one watch another or record 2 and watch a recording.

Say how you have the tuners configured.

@ breezy, say the exact version of openvix eg 6.4.0.11 what skin are you using and what region are you using in abm? You will have to deletet all the bouquets and start again. And set ABM up correctly.
