As mentioned before, there is no support for that Manufacturer. They are clones. If you wish to post on this forum, choose any genuine supported receiver. You don't have to buy from the sponsor.

Zgemma is a piece of crap Chinese counterfeit rubbish that runs hacked images as in the case of the so called ViX image you see for it, you won't get any help or support for that receiver here.

You don't need to spend a fortune on a good quality LNB. I use Technomate TM-1 Super High Gain 0.1dB single output LNBs on all my dishes and they work just fine - they cost around £8 each!! The Technomate TM-4 is a 4 output LNB and costs around £20
As for the number of satellites you will receive, that all depends upon your unhindered field of view and exactly how far north you are - there's no hard and fast rule.
anyway, how many sats will i beable to get with 80cm motorised in north england
off top of head must have a rough idea. 3,4,5. 25

As I mentioned above, it depends on your horizontal field of view, big trees or buildings blocking your line-of-sight with any satellites etc. It's impossible to say. If I had to have a guess, I would say a minimum of 10 but it's also worth mentioning that most european satellites carry scrambled programmes and being able to receive the satellite transmissions doesn't necessarily mean you will be able to watch anything....... Have a look at Lyngsat.com to see what's up there.
