ZGEMMA STAR 2S TWIN TUNER any good are they better than a dreanbox HD800?

[martin035]

I can't compare the Zgemma 2s against a Dreambox HD800 as I've never owned a Dreambox, however, I own a Zgemma 2s and one thing I will say, is that they are a lot better than any Openbox series of receiver. If you want any help or have any questions about the Zgemma 2s then just post them, I try my best to help.

Main difference DM800 300mhz CPU, 64mb Nandflash, 256mb ram and the Zgemma 750mhz CPU, 256mb Nandflash, 512mb Ram

Thanks for the replies I think I will order one Monday as they are pretty cheap, and I've had my dream box for a number of years so it's time for an upgrade as I can't seem to find any recent images for the dreambox, does TSmedia work ok on the Zgemma 2s ?

Thanks

...does TSmedia work ok on the Zgemma 2s ?

Very hit or miss (mostly miss) finding streams that work and can be painfully slow, I've read that adding a VPN can make it better, but I don't bother as I've got Kodi installed on my PC. Also the PC is a lot quicker than the Zgemma at finding streams that work.

You can try all the media streaming plugins (TSmedia/kodi direct,iptv player, mediaportal etc etc) but to be honest the zgemma is best used at a sat receiver with all the benefits of enigma2 running on it.

Problem now I have seems to be with auto boutiques plugging I have downloaded it set it to my region done what it supposed to do, rebooted the box but I can't find any boutiques only in alphabetical order like before don't have no folders for films entertainment etc,

This box has been a nightmare got it working, then it told me it needed updating it flashed a new image now I have lost all my cam settings they are not there, nightmare!

The box does nothing on it's own. All input and instruction is carried out by the user. The box makes no decisions that's all done by the human.

Well that's very helpful NOT!!! if you can't help please don't comment.

MW mate,I would calm down if I were you..There are a lot of experienced people here watching this...Having a go at one of them is not going to advance your case !

And while you're at it,here are the rules again : Forum Rules

Please pay particular attention again to #1 and #9.


Carry on...

Hold on!!!!!!! You are blaming a box for something you have done. Your comments could easily be construed by newbies that the box is rubbish when in fact they are good value and a great starting point for anyone wishing to learn enigma 2 on a budget. I think my comment was very helpful by emphasising user error is the most common cause of problems with this hobby.
