Is it possible to manually tune a single channel and add it to the existing bouquet of channels on Zgemma H7

You can scan a single transponder, not a signal channel. You do that in manual scan menu. The help/hint text should help you through.

Do you know the transponder details?

You can then copy/move/add the service to any bouquet you want in the channel list. Press menu with the channel/service highlighted in the service/channel list. You cannot do this in the EPG system, so do not at any time press the EPG button while you are trying this.

This works on all receivers and on all images.

Note:
ABM bouquets belong to ABM and will be remade according to programming. If you want to manipulate ABM bouquets, bests to use a custom mix file otherwise your changes will be undone when ABM next runs.

Hi there, Just resurrecting this old thread. I'm looking to add the updated versions of some channels which have moved/changed recently like the ITV HD channels and all the channel 5 iterations. I've used e-channelizer before but not sure how I go about adding these. Do I perform a new scan of the transponder using e-channelizer and then update to the box? Thanks in advance.

Which image are you using. Name, version/date please?

Why not just use AutoBouquetsMaker on your receiver/box? This is the easiest/simplest option.
If you are making your own bouquets and do not want the ABM bouquets, just say no to all the bouquet options. You can then import to program and edit as before

If you don't want to use ABM, and are using E-channelizer, dreamboxedit, dreamset etc, you update satellites.xml on box, scan on box, using Program on PC, import form box, edit, transfer back to box

Hi. I'm using Openvix latest release. Just updated this week.

In my opinion, "latest" is vague, better to say the number/date. Number of times people say they are on latest and they actually are not is unbelievable. Anyway, let's assume you are on 6.2 012. Forget the image version for now.

Can you not use AutoBouquetsMaker to update your channels/bouquets?

Hi. I'm not at home now but will check the version tonight. I haven't really done much with ABM or e-channelizer since I was customising the box about a year ago. Will check it out later.

Version is not important now.

If you use ABM, the bouquets will be as per provider. Once you set it up, you won't have to do anything. Once a week (Thursday preferrably) automated run should be fine. On odd occasion you will have to do use ABM scan manually.
