Zgemma H7S 4K UHD

[adm]

Thanks guys for explained.

Will save up for 2 x Zgemma H7S boxes so I will use one box from my aerial and other box for satellite with both HDMI to my TV

The box supports Freeview channels (terrestrial) and Freesat channels (Satellite) at the same time so you can split your aerial signal and use the third tuner input on the boxes you have allocated for satellite. This gives you 3 tuners which can all be used at the same time for watching or recording.

Ok will order 1 box then! But does EPG get confused layout with same aerial and satellite all mixed up?

You can set it up whatever way you want - you can keep your freeview channels apart from the freesat variants. Its a good little box and one of the few budget 4k boxes that can take an internal hard drive which is a bonus.

I have a box with both types of tuner. I have a channel list (bouquet) for Freeview and a separate channel list for Freesat. Each has its own 7 day over the air EPG. The box doesn’t get confused by the two sources of broadcast information. If I ask the box to record from BBC1 Freeview it will record from the aerial source and not from satellite and visa versa.

Which image do u use and do I need any plugin to download for extra features. As I used autobouqest for satellite on my old zgemma h2h (single tuner) with usb recording but it very old box now (I use openatv)

Possibly more users here are on Openvix as its more supported on this forum.
Any box i can use Openvix on i will.

You cant run 2 same boxes on tv unless you want a war as remote will be sending signals to both boxes but could run another make.
As said 1 box is all you need and a big internal hdd for recordings.

You was asking about a box with 2 satellite tuners and 1 terestrail tuner but you have ordered a box with just 2 satellite tuners.

Yes I decided go for 2 satellite tuners with HDD that fine by me. I just use freeview HD on Samsung and LG TV with USB Memory Stick to recorded one each tv. lol

And no hdd for recordings?

I think post #25 suggests he has included one.

No need as I got 2.5'' HDD 750GB as I will use that for this box. Does it formatted itself or do I have to formatted via partitionmagic @ NTFS before put into this box?

The box will format it via a menu item to Ext3/4. If you want NTFS then you may have to install a NTFS driver
on the box.

Can you tell me how to do series link auto detect if I choose to recorded soaps eg: Emmerdale mon to fri? Because on Humax I press record and ask me do you want to record ITV SD or ITV HD, then I click ITV HD and then it asked next one do you want to record single or record series link and I click series link and it will record itself.
