For all Members with an Zgemma STB this is the room for you, if you need help with your Zgemma or an image to get the Zgemma up and running then please start a new thread in this area.

We have also added a new downloads section for your Zgemma Receivers, so all new Zgemma files will be posted here and hopefully you can get your box up and running with an Image :)

Zgemma - Downloads section:
https://www.digitalworldz.co.uk/downloads.php?do=cat&id=157


Good luck and have fun with your new toy.
 
Great stuff, ordering one later so thisll come in handy
 
Nice one @Ferret, this will be a great addition to the members with the Zgemma Receiver.

Support and downloads in one place.

Thanks again!

Mick

Thanks @Ferret. This is a great little box and im sure its going to be very popular. I am delighted with mine. I paid in the past a fortune for a vu + original (now sold) I got back to having a box and bought an s2. Stuck pli on it and an ext hdd and it does everthing just as good for a quarter of the price :)

what image you using and do you have a twin sat feed from a dual lnb fitted
 
if your box is a single tuner it will have to be on the same transponder as the one your recording
 
am using openatv 5. yes i have twin sat feed. at the back of my box is turner A, Lnb In and turner B
 
yes. even 2day all my recorded programs dont play. do i need to do some setting. all program record nicely but they dont play. thx

So they record fine but black screen on playback ?

Has to be a image related issue if you can actually see the recording it made.

Try another image.
 
hello have try italysat and vix but is still the same. the problem has change now if i record a program whiles the box is not on standby i can watch that recorded program but if i record a program when the box is on standby the playback is black screen. Is there any setting that i should do or the problem is from the box. Can anybody help me with a backup image that works pls. thx
 
Sat feed doesn't go in tuner B mate. ( should be Tuner A in and LNB in) Change that and make sure your Tuner settings are:
single for tuner A
equal to tuner A ( for tuner B)
hope that helps

I have been having same issue hope this resolves it. I tried the advanced options for both tuners must have been where I was going wrong
 
Thanks Ferret,

Hopefully this forum can help me resolve my problems!

I have tried absolutely everything and I still get Tune Failed. I been trying new images, re-aligned dish, replaced LNB, re-ended cables, used new cables everything. Still Tune Failed.

I have a Freeview box on the same satellite and works perfectly....

Thanks.
 
Just had my zgemma star s delivered, been a while since messed about with these images so hopefully I can figure it out with a little help.
 
Hello everyone

I have only just found this site/forum and have to confess that I am a complete novice with this, so please bear with me.

We have a ZGemma Star S2 box, powered by Hades OpenVix. We've had a number of intermittent problems with it.

At the moment, the problems we have are:

The sound doesn't work on any of the HD and Movie Channels.
The channel listing has many that are 'empty' for the actual programmes on the schedule. You can't seen anything until you click the 'empty - blue' box.

We've had some help from the guy who installed it, but he's really difficult to get hold of.

So far we have tried the following ...

1. We've carried out a 'hard standby'
2. We've switched off the wireless router and unplugged it for 10 minutes.

3. We have now attempted a 'Restart GUI', but the screen has been 'stuck' now showing 'HADES Powered by OpenVix' for about 45 minutes.

From here, I'm not sure what else to do and don't know if we will mess up the software on the box, by switching off again at this point.

Any, step by step, advice for a novice would be greatly appreciated. When this was working, it was brilliant.

Many thanks and please excuse the length of the post.

I had hoped to provide the information for what was installed, but can't access that whilst we have the screen stuck the way it is.

Thanks.
