No password, user is root password should be left blank, ensure you have the correct IP address for you Zgemma, menu-information-network.

Backup ensure USB in back of Zgemma then,
Menu-setup-software management-backup image then red button for HDD your back will be located in HDD/fullbackup_zgemma.

All in the instructions @post 1 once setup just leave the Zgemma in standby at night and overnight the Zgemma will automatically scan for channel changes and upload a new 7 day epg.

I've had nothing but trouble with this new image. Boutiques won't load my region for some reason either.
I've shot the openbox back downstairs for the night, can't be chewed .

What problems are you having and what region are you trying to load via ABM

I'm gonna reflash after work.
Box sometimes wouldn't boot into bbc1 on start up and would display no channels etc. I was tired and such so I'll probably sort it this weekend.
Tyne tees I'm trying to get I'm in Middlesbrough.

A limitation of ABM, as there's only 9x regional ITV HD channels ie Granada, Meridian South, STV, UTV, Central west, Anglia east, London, Wales and the Generic ITV HD if your area isn't one of these ABM's scripting will tell it to swap for a nearby HD area for Tees area it will use Granada, which is no use to you, however, try this it might help;
Menu-setup-service searching-ABM then
-Delete Bouquets
-Providers and change the following;
Sky UK: Area to Tees Custom
Sky UK: FTA HD Yes
Sky UK: Swap Channels No
Green button to save and exit
- Scan
This will give you the following, all the Regional SD channels from 1 to 5 ie BBC NE&C and ITV Tynetees, all you FTA HD channels ie BBC1 HD and ITV HD will be in the FTA HD Bouquet (Channel5HD will be added soon), all other working HD channels will be in their appropriate bouquet ie sports or entertainment. ie BTsport and AMC

This is the best you can do with ABM, other options are to scan then manually edit the bouquets to move your channels to your liking via openebif interface or remote or remove ABM and try a different Plugin ie autobouquets e2

Box sometimes wouldn't boot into bbc1 on start up and would display no channels etc.

Once you're happy with your channel setup, then to set your startup channel
on the remote Fav then scroll to your startup channel then menu-set as startup service

Cheers mate that seems to have sorted all my problems.
Just one thing else that is more annoying than anything:
Say im on bbc and i press EPG and click on ITV, when i then click exit to take the EPG off my screen it then shoots me back to BBC ?
Any fix?

As happy_h says that is the default way but like most things on e2 it can be changed, on the remote;
Epg-menu-ok button (short) scroll to zap+exit

[martin035]

New OpenAtv5.2 Backup Image added.

• Channel 5HD added to All Channel Bouquet (Clearing, soft NDS)

No fix you just press ok again instead of exit. The first press of ok is a preview only you then select with the second press. Alternatively if you hold down ok it will zap and exit (changing channel instantly). If I know Martin035 he won't have strayed to far from the defaults

Ah I see lmao! Thanks for this.

My sound is cutting out at anything under 90 on the volume, any ideas?

Yep, mine's occasionally doing the same, from reading thr Openatv forum it's a know bug, if Google's understanding of German is correct, hopefully a software update will sort it out or if I find a temp fix I'll post a new update on the forum.

Until then then only advice is reboot the box if you lose sound whilst changing the volume level on the remote.
