As Many members know, I updated to a H series Zgemma a while back, but DK member 'madness85' has an original Zgemma S and has developed his image for use by others on the forum, this image will work on a Zgemma S or 2S

You must have 4gb USB drive or a larger USB drive permanently connected if you want to record programs and use the EPG, also the box connect by LAN to the internet.

Due to this been on DK forums, I won?t give instructions on how to install any lines, all I?ll say is Blue button and second option down then ask google.

That's the way ABM's whitelist kicks out the channel list, it's the default setting.

[musky1970]

ta bud...can and how do i change so channel nos are the same in the bouquets?

[happy_highlander]

Have a little think about about the way a channel list is compiled and you'll understand the numbering. To enable the channels to match official sly numbering it has to be done in the first bouquet which is all channels so that when you hit 103 you get itvhd and so on. This means all subsequent copies of the same service (channel) in the categorised bouquets will be a different number. The channel numbers in the categorised bouquet must start from a number higher than the last (highest) official sly channel number. If you want specific channels on specific numbers that sets different from sly you need to create your own list using dbe but the same basic rules will apply one channel number per bouquet entry, by that i mean if you have itv hd in an hd bouquet and an entertainment bouquet both channels will have different numbers. Yes you can choose alternative numbering but I'm not going to get into that, once you understand the concept you'll figure that out for yourself.

hi this image work with h1 box ?

hi this image work with h1 box ?

It should work, but as I haven't got a H1 I haven't tested it on it, it's up to you whether you you try it. However, H1 and S2 share the same chipset so in theory it will after boot up just require a reconfiguration of tuner A and tuner B, then on Autobouquetsmaker you will need to delete the present bouquets and configure ABM for cable and Satellite. Also config Crossepg for cable as well.

It might be better and least stressful, just to use digicon's backup image here and once installed just do an over the air update to 5.1

You cant flash an 2S image on a H1 as the tuner is DVB-C you can flash say an H2 image on a H1 and vice versa but not where the 2 tuners are different.

Are you using my backup image? If you are press 'fav' then scroll down to the 'BT interactive' bouquets, BT extra channels in there.

[happy_highlander]

Autobouquets doesn't put the bt extra into a bouquet. Send the channel list to dbe and add them to a new bouquet from the services then set abm not to remove non abm bouquets

Happy_h m8, sorry but autobouquetmaker does, it makes a 'BT interactive' bouquet then places the following channels inside; BT mosaic, BT extra mosaic and BT extra 1 to 6 channels.

[digicon]

Yes the last few releases of ABM have added the BT Sport Extra channels now to there own FAV folder

Cheers Martin. I'll check again this morning. I done an online update of my brother in laws box yesterday and was sure I'd rescanned abm. Obviously not
