ZgemmaH17

[Robert73]

Sorry for the inconvenience, my name is Robert, I purchased the Zgemma H17, but I have a problem. With the cam inserted with satellite TV, selecting common interface slows down the decoder, making it difficult to change channels and impossible to use the menu. However, if I deselect the cam, I remove it from the decoder and everything goes back to normal. Is there a solution to this problem? I have an Egami 11.

No idea with that image…and cannot look at their image as they don,t allow mere mortals to look at their code!
So flash openvix into a slot and see what happens and how we can help you

Non ho idea di cosa significhi quell'immagine... e non posso guardare la loro immagine perché non permettono ai comuni mortali di guardare il loro codice!
Quindi inserisci Openvix in uno slot e guarda cosa succede e come possiamo aiutarti

ok

Also, try OpenATV and PurE2 - try them without any additional SW downloaded.

If it doesn't work you have options: they may have different versions of the CI tool (CI Plus Helper v. 5.4, 5.6 etc.).

From memory, there are some settings there to set up...?

I haven't bought a smartcard for a while. Which one do you have, which CaID?

I installed the image, but the problem persists. Mine is a Wi-Fi cam, and this problem doesn't occur with the Zgemma H7s. Or maybe the H17 has hardware issues. I'll return it.

Same error no matter what image you use

Stesso errore indipendentemente dall'immagine utilizzata

Ho usato altre ipk soft cam ho ottenuto un leggero miglioramento. Procedo con i test, cercando una soluzione.

I solved the problem by installing the PowerCam soft camera. There are still sporadic crashes, but that's acceptable.

Just to add one more thing a friend (who is also an experienced satellite installer) and I figured out when he came to help me with tracking down a potential structural issue - and he indeed pointed me to something I never had a problem with before: interference from a new, powerful Asus modem (with WiFi 2.4, 5 and 6)! We moved the cable splitter a lot until we found a place where it kinda worked and those specific TPs I mentioned earlier finally started working relatively well... Did anybody else run into such a problem? Just curious...

But not well enough, so I ended up testing 4 different boxes in the same spot:

Zgemmas H7, H17, H9 Combo and Edision mio OS+. All of them were somewhat affected by the interference but not equally...

In the end, I decided that H9 Combo had the least of such problems.

So, in short, H17 was generally OK from the start but a few problems combined to give me a few headaches...

-it's quite susceptible to WiFi (and/or wireless telephone station?) interference (a floor-standing, big loudspeaker helped in shielding the receiver a bit)
-E-Channelizer bug which rendered a channel list useless (IPTV channels in particular - now fixed and new, more capable E-Channelizer is on its way...)
-the red LED for Standby does not work in any image, only in Deep Standby but that is down to the manufacturer, not an image...

Hello everyone,


I recently purchased a Zgemma H17 Combo to replace my failed Tiviar Alpha+ receiver. I’m based in Ireland and currently running OpenATV 8.0 on the Zgemma.


The receiver picks up Saorview channels without any issues, but I cannot get it to pick up any UK free-to-air satellite channels.


I have a quad LNB connected to my Sky dish, which still supplies a Sky HD box upstairs. I also have two additional satellite feeds that were previously connected to the Tiviar Alpha+ and an outside aerial for the Saorview (Irish Free to air) I assumed it would be a straightforward swap, followed by a channel scan, but unfortunately, I haven’t had any luck.


I’ve tried connecting both satellite cables to the Zgemma, one at a time, but I’m still not receiving any UK satellite channels.


I’m wondering whether there is something I need to configure in the tuner settings, such as the satellite selection, LNB configuration, or scanning parameters, as I may be missing something obvious.


Has anyone experienced a similar issue or have any suggestions on what I should check? I’d really appreciate any advice.


Thanks in advance!

This is the openvix forum, so if you load openvix on your H17 we will be happy to help set it up. Otherwise you need openatv forum.

My bad, thank you. I will install Openvix and revert back. Appreciate your willing to help.

Once you have OpenVix loaded, I would suggest you use AutoBouquetsMaker (ABM) to configure your nearest Saorview transmitter location and your preferred Sky and/or Freesat channel list (bouquet). If you're unsure which Saorview transmitter to pick let me know your approximate townland or area and I should be able to pinpoint.

Warren,if you go back through the thread you will see how I had the same issue when I got the H17 first.
Thanks to the lads here I modified the script to pick up both Saorview and the UK Satellite channels.
I have bouquets for UK Freesat,SKY,SKY Ireland and Saorview on my H17...great little box.
Follow the guide to reflash with Openvix.
