Zgemma H9.2H or H7S?

Some more info for you.

H7 has Broadcom dual core 1.7GHz CPU. H9 has Quad core Hisilicon 1.5GHz CPU.

H7 has triple tuner options H7S is 2x Satellite and 1x C/T2. H7C is 2x C/T2 and 1x Satellite. H7 also has internal HDD facility.

You can us two tuner with one dish providing you have two coax feeds from LNB.

Muli-stream is for certain satellites like 5 west that broadcast streams one transponer.

Yes you'd have to use OScam with new generation 4K receivers, although some image support other softcams.

Depends what the main use for your purchase. If you to watch and record a lot and have internal HDD facility then go for the H7. If not bothered about recording a lot then go for the H9 model. H9.2H has Satellite and C/T2 tuner, if you want 2x Satellite then look at the H9.2S.

Which of these will result in snappier menus and faster boot times?

ok if u have single feed dish go for h9s fast easy good support stalker iptv in plugins and mores

H7 and H9 both fast boxes.

New feature coming for the H9 series in OpenViX soon allowing image to boot from Micro SD card instead of nand. Add a £3.00 8GB Class 10 SD card and you'll have 8GB eMMC flash. Should be in next OpenViX release, credits go to Twol from OpenViX team.

Thanks for the fantastic information!

Will the OpenViX team integrate the flash expander in their image? If so, what benefits will there be compared to manually install the flash expander and then choosing the microSD?

If I buy from you will there be an EU plug too?

You don’t have any opinion on what box that boots faster, any guess?

The new features is not flash expander, it actually moves the nand image root to Micro SD card. You can then switch boot from NAND to SD Card via the GUI. I'm running one now with 8GB Class 10 SD Card. Great feature.

Hello again!

Do you find the box slower when running 8GB Class 10 SD Card?

No, actually performs better as it has more free flash to use. I've been testing with a 8GB Class 10 Micro SD card. New feature will be in next release of OpenViX.

Btw, it already is available in PurE2 (we wrote it and added the feature to the Zgemma developers' GIT, there is no need to invent it from scratch and add it there yet again...), plus I wrote the proper user-end support for it, you can find it on this very forum, with some images and all the details you need to set it up properly...:rasta2bigsmoke0gf1:

One more thing: you can have 4 images natively in H7 because it has 4 partitions (PurE2 has a unique feature of only 2 partitions, if you want more space) and given Brdcm's long experience with all this, I would say that there are fewer issues with various codecs with H7, at this very moment... Again, all the necessary user-end support is already here, in excruciating detail, by yours truly...:cool1:

Having said that, HiSlicon (H9x/H9.2x series chipset manufacturer) has acquired new talent and they are learning fast and lots, so they will get to the very highest level soon, I expect... Both have all the info you need right here, search a bit in the relevant sections and amongst the articles, I put a lot of time and lots of my experience into it, so worry not about setting it all up...

Btw, PurE2 has ALL the CamDs in its "Plugins" section, available at the touch of the RC button, so you can choose whatever you want. I would also recommend the latest OSCam Emu, which works with everything, including PowerVu AU (self-making new working keys)...

Can't miss, really, not to worry, just listen to your needs...

Presumably this splits the memory between the four, so like 1gb per image. If you only ever have one image will it make full use of all the available memory, or only ever use a quarter of it?

@ Gorski, in OpenViX moving image to SD card is embedded into OpenViX for H9. No need for scripts.

User can choose to boot boot from Nand or SD card. Will be in next release.

Yes splits into for. Each image has its usuable amount. If you use one image only I'd suggest that you each slot for different functions. For instance Slot 1 could have all your Kodi setup, Slot 2 Stalker, Slot 3 basic FTA...... Only an example cos each slot could have both kodi and stalker plugins.

Baz, it's a bit more complicated than that, since H7 is carefully constructed:

1/2GB goes to SWAP partition. That works great, btw...

1/2GB goes to /tmp file. Also great, except with E2iPlayer which needs more (1,5GB to be precise), so it needs to be redirected to / (root) or USB stick or SSD, for instance.

3GB are divided to more than 750MB each = 4 partitions.

I have loaded it with tons of stuff, all FNC plugins in PurE2, Kodi, E2iPlayer, tons of extras and I could barely get to about 180MB left free...

On the off chance you will want more, you have an exclusive PurE2 image which partitions the flash into only 2 parttiions, so you can have 2 images only and double the space...

As for H9 script - what if one doesn't have the SD card or USB stick and doesn't need to move anything, as 256MB is aplenty, after all? In that case, I would suggest that this is the same script but without giving users the choice.

In PurE2 this is all done via a script in pManager > Scripts, so RC buttons pressed and voila, from the sofa... - mSD card doesn't even have to be recognised, let alone mounted... ;)

The first script from OpenATV had to be messed with via Telnet, it depended on E2 recognising the mSD card etc. But PurE2 team quickly made it possible to do it all via the RC and no tests were needed to see if mSD card was recognised and auto-mounted, which new option was given to all when we fixed the functionality after it all stopped, due to changes at the developer's level... Hope that makes clear the point I was making... :)
