    Default Zgemma H2.S OpenVIX (latest) Sky Themed Image

    Hi Guys hi take no credit what so ever for as i is not my backup,

    I have created an image of my H2.S with a very Sky oriented theme! If you want it download it from:



    It is fully configured to Sky, including Auto Bouqet, EPG set to read from HDD plugged in to the back USB port and. It has a customised version of the brilliant skin Slyk1 skin to make it look as close to Sky as possible.

    Some screen shots below:

    Graphical EPG

    so first unrar the file and use ur fat32 formatted standard usb to put the "zgemma" folder on.
    turn off box
    insert flash usb in rear
    boot up. Box should take 4-10 minutes to flash and MAY say FLASH on front when flashing. occasionally when flashing the front panel may remain blank, just give it 15 minutes in case. IT MAY STILL BE FLASHING.
    box will reboot when finished
    No need to press front power button or anything.

    OK. Basically u need a usb or hard drive that can be wiped and devoted to the box.
    That will store program guide and recordings and timeshift to rewind TV etc.
    4gb is minimum I'd recommend. But more is better.
    Once image is flashed and u edit ur ~~~~~~~.list file in usr/keys or ~~~~~.cfg in /etc with DCC.
    Get the permanent USB/hdd onto a PC and quick format it.

    Box off.
    Usb in rear.
    Box on.
    Menu
    Setup
    System
    Storage devices
    Initialisation
    Select ur drive
    Red to initialise
    Exit all

    Menu
    Setup
    Vix
    Swapfile manager
    Blue to create 256mb. Wait
    Yellow to autostart
    Green to start
    Red to close.
    Hold power button on remote for 3 secs and select Restart (not GUI)

    If you find that the screen is to large/small/off to side :
    Menu
    Setup
    System
    User interface
    Position setup
    U can change about here. Including transparency of windows.
    If not working change to 720p and 50hz and try again.

    (If u are using a large enough usb/HDD u may want to go to
    Menu
    Setup
    System
    Timeshift settings
    Autostart ts after 30secs or whatever.
    As it is u must press pause to start timeshift)

    Menu
    Setup
    Service searching
    Autobouquets maker
    Providers. Wait
    Sky UK (sd):area. Change from northern ireland custom to your area custom by pressing right or left.
    Green to save.
    Start scan. Wait.
    Exit all
    Hold power Restart

    Menu
    setup
    System
    Epg
    Cross EPG
    Download now. Takes 5-10 mins. Will seem like its stuck on Loading Data. Wait.
    Happens automatically at 6.20 am anyway.
    Exit all
    Hold power again and restart.

    Edit.
    Small mistake i would to to stop spinning up and down regularly i forgat To set hdd standby to 30 mins. Not important. But if using a loud drive or experience lag on drive spin up:
    Menu
    Setup
    System
    Storage devices
    Hard disk setup
    Change to 30 Min



    auto bouqets setup
    auto epg update set
    cross epg setup to hdd
    service scanning set to SD and HD replaced where possible



    Configured (and tweaked) "Planner" view


    Installed Plugins






    Settings Menu



    Customised boot/reboot screens



    Version 2
    OpenWebIF Remote control fix has been installed and tested.

    Version 2a
    Ensured automatic updates is off
    Added TSPanel 7.5

    Hope its of help to you guys.

    H.2S and H.S are identical apart from the tuners, you can use a H.2S image on a H.S box and vice versa, just check tuner settings.

    Thank you for posting this, i really want to try it out but a little worried the update issue you mentioned above. So if i never update it, what issues would this come with?

    Also you say vix is not supported by zgemma but you can download the vix images from zgemma.tv?

    The Vix images are patched to work on the Zgemma receivers, and that is why it is not advisable to do an online software update
