New 2015 Enigma2 Boxes DVB-C and DVB-S2 Zgemma Star H1 & 2S

[kurt6]

Hey guys, I currently have a Vu+ Solo Clone and it's constantly crashing (when streaming, etc.) and I'm not very happy with it in general. Would that Zgemma Star H1 be a good improvement over the Solo? They are like ?73 online so I don't want to buy another box that needs constant rebooting and tinkering. Thanks for any advise.

So is the best price-spec combo box on the market at the moment... Does it hit the sweet spot in terms of price and performance?

How does it compare to 3T TM Combo receiver, or miracle box which are a tad bit dearer?

I really want Vix support so I suppose this is a no go then? Any recommendations for combo receivers that fit the bill?

Thanks

I dont think its fair comparing it to the Nano 3T as that has a dual core 1300mhz processor, and i would say the Miraclebox is slightly faster too. I suppose you could say its the next jump up from the DM800se model as its only a single core 751mhz processor.

The new Miracle box with the same 1 x DVB-S2 and one DVB-C/T/T2 has the BCM 7362 Dmips 20000 (Dual Threading 750mhz CPU) and is priced at ?150 so double the price, also consider the TM-Nano-Se Combo which is basically the same as the Miraclebox but is priced at ?129 although images are sparse at the minute.

The Zgemma will take the Vix image but as you are probably aware its patched so your relying on Patched images for Vix support

I think you have gotten the models confused this is straight from Air Sat

ZGemma H1 : 1 x DVB-S2 satellite & 1 x DVB-C receiver
ZGemma H2 : 1 x DVB-S2 satellite & 1 x DVB-C/T Cable/Terrestrial receiver
ZGemma 2S : 2 x DVB-S2 satellite receiver
ZGemma S : 1 x DVB-S2 satellite receiver

Correct i did due to a typo although if purchasing now i would probably skip the H1 version for the H2, bit thin on the ground at the moment unless you order from china

By the way to correct your Typo the H2 model is actually this

Zgemma H2 : 1 x DVB-S2 Satellite Tuner & 1 x DVB-C/T/T2 - Cable,Terrestrial & Terrestrial HD

Does the card reader on these things even work? I can't even get the box to see my card at all

[DJGonzo]

I got it. You need to go to channel list and select all providers. Kinda non-intuitive.

This box is really decent

The only other thing is see if I can get ViewMatrix working. But that might be a lost cause and its against the rules here

[cactikid]

that sounds like you are scanning 1 frequency for channels,but would need to auto scan all the frequencies,wonder if there is a brute force scan on that cable side to use?

[DJGonzo]

Alright so I got both of my units in and they work on the clear channels with DVB-C, however if I start scan at 231mhz (with network scan on), it only picks up the channels from that. Then I go over to 285mhz and do scan again (make sure clear is no) and it picks up the rest of the channels but the channels from 213mhz get deleted. I'm stumped

I have edited your post, please review our rules once again.

What's the cable tuner like on these? Been trying to set an old DM500c up for my old man, but the BER is through the roof. Will this be more stable?

No problem with my 500c using Jade pli on *********
New commando 15 image out for it. Just need your cables.xml & maybe settings as well. Very stable.

Well said cacti kid, in possession of a bricked clone Icloud myself... having used the online update feature unwittingly.
They seem to come with everything including a self-destruct mechanism.

They Are Samsung made DVB-T/C tuners and seem to be very sensitive, i can only go off the ones that i have seen and none appear to have had any trouble with SNR even with 2-3 other devices on Splitters

You need to enter your Net ID frequency in the Service Searching part of the main menu, without this Autobouquets will not scan in your local channels
