Zgemma advice

More advice needed before I buy zgemma h2s box.
My sat box will be on the other side of living room from my router so I will need a wifi dongle,any recommendations, I have a sky wifi receiver which connects to my router at present would I be able to use this or is it not compatible, also what size addition USB memory stick would I need I believe this is needed for the EPG so does the zgemma have it own hard disc for storing recordings etc? Thanks.

These work on the wifi side

USB NANO wifi Adaptor for Satellite and Cable boxes – RALINK Dongle | Digitalworldz Store

Hook up a usb hard rive and that will cover the epg and recordings.

Thanks for the link, I just ordered one.

Just got email my order has been cancelled and they have sent me a full refund, so need to obtain something similar.

Your order for what the box or the wifi dongle?

Just the wifi dongle, still not got the box, can't decide what is the best way to purchase, either buy box and try and set up to look and work like sky which my misses wants, or pay extra to have it already loaded.

I use this one

Whilst wifi dongles do work....think you may have to download a driver from plugins.....a direct lan cable connection is better, if this isn't practical then use home plugs.
If all you want is a box to mimic sky then just put a ready made build on it....dead easy to do just google "wooshbuild" = atv or "sucmnsee" = vix.. All just my opinion of course

I ordered a zgemma h2s box last night from eBay should be delivered Friday its fully loaded so hopefully should be just plug and play once I have it connected via my wifi dongle which I also ordered for fri delivery, not practical to have LAN cable going across the front living room.

That's why i said home plugs.

Was thinking l might use home plug in future if I need to connect upstairs, but for now router and dongle as it will be in same room about 20ft apart.

I have hard wired a cat5e network cable upstairs from my wifi hub to box, more reliable I think
