I find the Vu+ Duo 4K SE remote control far easier to use with frequently used buttons better placed than they are on the Zgemmh7's. Would a Vu+ Duo remote operate the Zgemma just as well as the one provided?

Some receivers allow you to select another remote. If the option is there, try it.
I think it is

@digitl - just be aware that if you are successful in changing remotes, you may encounter a situation later on that if you do a flash of an image the new remote will no longer appear to work. New images will default to the standard remote, so you may have to connect to the box via browser in order to restore saved settings and thus restore remote functionality. I've seen this issue come up in threads occasionally where users have changed remotes and then suddenly find they stop working after a new software install.

Sorry, should have said, there are more than one mode for the VU remotes. I have a Zgemma H9S SE and Vu+ Duo 4K. I'll try the remote changes in a few days.
From what I can remember, the code defaults to yes when you land on a remote and expects you to change it with the selected remote. So instead of reverting back to the original, it locks you out. There were other changes to remote selection code using a different repository instead of what was in the python file. I don't know how that works.
You can control the box using the OWIF (Open Web Inter Face) remote if you ever get locked out.

So if you change the remote (on a box that allows this) you will now display the wrong remote image when HELP is pressed. The RemoteSelection plugin allows you to select the correct image. For boxes that have changed remote several times this is helpful (e.g. sf8008).

snap i posted this elsewhere " New Replacement Zgemma Remote Control for Zgemma Star Satellite Receiver - No Setup Needed'" perfect
You need to explain what you mean by user friendly and its a waste of time trying a vu remote on zgemma. How many buttons does your other half need? Mine goes Power, epg, channel, ok, or file list, play pause, ff, exit. Occasionally fav or blue button and very happy. Autotimer for everything. it has a sky skin.
Finally got round to test this for you, I am afraid I couldn't get it to work.
