Help me, I'm new.

Just to add to the excellent post by ramjet, I know you can do the following with a Zgemma 2s; watch 1 channel + record another, watch 1 channel + stream another to a WiFi device and final record 1 channel + stream another to a WiFi device, therefore, I would presume you could record 2 channels at the same time but can't confirm it at the mo due to the missus hogging the remote to watch Corry.

As to the OS image, I use Openvix Hades 18, there is other OS images available namely the ATV image. All have their pros and cons. The best thing about all these images are there freely available on the web and only costs you time and effort to install.

If you want I?ll send you a guide I wrote for another member on how to install this image and setup the box inluding ABM and Crossepg.

Yes please, need the guide. I went ahead and ordered the zgemma 2s and a WiFi dongle(my router will be 3m away so it shouldn't be a problem.) What is the best image you advise for a sky+ hd feel? What are the pros and cons of the best three images for this device? Thanks for the help ramjet and martin035, it's much appreciated .

I will be using an external 240gb HDD 3.5" in an enclosure.

The Vix image sent to myself by the box seller has the $ky skin set a default, I will add a link to this image in the guide I will post later, the biggest difference between the Vix and Atv images is that the Atv image can be updated over the air, the Vix image as it not technically supported by OpenVix and has to be a clean installed and rebuilt on a major update. As I said before I'm using Vix at the moment as it works perfect for me, in the future I will try the Atv image or maybe the Pli image.

The Guide will be for the Vix image by the way.

That will be great for a storage drive, however, your best using a USB Stick drive (1Gb to 8Gb) to install the OS image.
