        Reliability is great. Almost all other problems are user related hence some people should stay away

          Zgemma H5 is a great piece of equipment. Load Whooshbuild image on it and it would work flawlessly

            Latest would be the H3.2TC, released just after the H5.2TC. They are identical except the H5 will playback video compressed with the H265 codec. They have a single Sat and a Twin Cable tuner.

            They work really well when setup properly. Biggest issue is user error.

                  This Backup Image is for the Newer H series of Zgemma Satellite receivers, it will work on the H.S and H.2s and confirmed working on the H.2H by Hadron @post #116 (requires additional setup for cable see post #119) but hasn't been tested on the H5 Openatv5.3 Backup Image with New improved Sky Skin, OTA update safe ?

                      External Only, you would have to 'UP' your budget slightly if you want a receiver that supports internal hard drive. the Technomate E2 series (some of them) receivers take an internal drive

                      TM-Nano-SE M2 Plus as an example

                        The H3 and H5 Zgemma do support internal SD cards, well in a slot in the side. Only PLi fully support the SD card but you can get them working with ViX if you format them in a PC with the free Partition Wizard tool and let them automount.

                          The H3.2TC you mention looks great value actually, i had a look at one or 2 online and one of the pictures i got to see the rear and there is only one x rf in and a loop out although the description clearly states it has 2x dvbt tuners, i,m wondering if the photo i seen is an old stock photo or something.

                          It had the lnb input aswell ofcourse but i couldn't see a 2nd cable tuner on the box i looked at.

                            It will probably have an internal splitter for the cable feed, so only 1 connector required.

                              Both the H3 and the H5 have a twin cable tuner with a single input and no loop output. They also have a single Sat input.
