Thats not quite correct the Dual core models have yet to be released all current Zgemma's in the range run the Single Core 750mhz BCM 7358 chipset.
Here are the differences:
Zgemma S : Single tuner Satellite only receiver DVB-S2
Zgemma 2S : Twin Tuner Satellite only receiver 2 x DVB-S2
Zgemma H1 : Satellite & Cable Combo Receiver 1 x DVB-S2 Satellite tuner & 1 x DVB-C Cable 'Only' Tuner
Zgemma H2 : Satellite & Cable/Freeview/FreeviewHD Combo Receiver 1 x DVB-S2 Satellite Tuner & 1 x DVB-C/T/T2 Cable/Freeview/FreeviewHD Tuner

Frgot about the Tuner differences on the H1 and H2 models see below:
Zgemma H1 : Uses the Samsung 101A Type DVB-C Tuner
Zgemma H2 : Uses the Samsung 109A Type DVB-C/T/T2
I see more and more reports now on the H2 having a weaker tuner, Not tired one myself so cannot comment apart from what i have read although there has to be some difference as the H2 incorporates both Freeveiw and Freeview HD and is also equipped with a ANT Power switch (Antenna) i assume this only works for the freeview side as a lot of TV's often have some form of Booster inside which can be switched off via the menu

well i got my H2 to tinker with yesterday and it only had 256 flash on it :Chainsaw: seems a lot slower that the H1 and 2S
the power antenna is a switch on the back. Anyone else think these were pointless releasing and just trying to boost sales before dual core version?

I have one and been using the cable side and no problems, get a good 98% SNR for signal,
