Just tried to go to the zgemma official firmware site (not sure if I can write down link here so haven't) but cannot access it.

Tried from various PC's and still the same.

Does anyone know if this is temporary?

I noticed an updated Hades Openvix on there dated 25th May and didn't get a chance to download.
 
Looks like the site is down. The officialy supported images OpenATV etc are available directly from the OpenATV websites.
The updated Vix Hades image will be probably be uploaded on other sites soon, if the official site doesnt come back online.
 
seen this as a heads up

Hi All,


I have recently ordered a Zgemma Star H2 direct from the manufacturer and have discovered that the 13A plug and fuse are both counterfeit and very dangerous. The fuse does not contain silica and could explode if it was ever to blow. In this case however, the fuse carrier is not even connected inside the 13A plug so the fuse will never blow - even if you remove the fuse completely, the unit will still be live. In addition the earth pin (which admittedly isn't used as it is a double insulated power supply) is partially insulated. Genuine BS1363 plugs should never have a partially insulated pin, only the shorter two pins should be partially insulated. The pins are also incorrectly sized.


In the UK, socket outlets are usually on a 32A ring final circuit (ring main) and in the event of a fault within the Zgemma power supply, the 0.75mm conductors within this cable will catch fire long before the circuit disconnects at the DB (fuse board).


I would urge all zgemma owners to check, and if need be replace, the 13A plug to C7 (figure of 8) mains cable on their box for a genuine and safe replacement cable to avoid the risk of fire and/or loss of life.


I am happy to assist anyone who needs assistance in checking their cable or sourcing a suitable replacement.


I have made the manufacturer aware and am currently awaiting further updates. I will update this thread accordingly if and when I receive further communication from them.


Martin.
 
Interesting, luckily I'm not using the lead that came with my zgemma receiver. I reused the official Sky figure of 8 lead from my amstrad sky HD box. I have a H1 though not a H2 I'll check the lead that came with the receiver it's still in the box the receiver came in.
