    An EPG that works , channel lists that update frequency changes automatically, a better user experience ie the menus/interface look much better and as has been pointed out to me on newer H series Zgemma's IPTV works pretty well.

      I have to agree with Martin. I finally took the plunge and replaced my f5's with a zgemma h2s....MASSIVE difference.

          The Zgemma H.s can be sourced of the bay for around ?60, if you already have a f5s then that special magical file can be transferred over, saving you having to get another.

              Chetsp on here sells them on eBay under username bankrupt_acc, the zgemma hs he does comes with all 3 openvix skins, kodi, the script etc....

              Plug And play basically, I'll be getting one next payday.

                Aye, his prices for a H.s are very competitive especially seeing that it comes plug & play, but he's a bit over priced for the H2s but I suppose that extra money will save the hassle of doing it yourself for free.

                    Aye, your right about vix, best to use openatv on all Zgemma's, this openatv backup image has a skyQ, original sky and VM skin and also works a dream

                    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 ?

                        No, an image loaded with kiddac's slyk skin v5 is the closest either mine or whoosh's will do, but blue HD is quite similar in style.

                              Not as perfect at a legit sky box but it works, just go into the EPG and press the record button, 2nd option is the series link, you just need to set it up manually.
