ZGemma H7S Tuner Configuration - 1x Dish Cable from a 4x DiSEqC Switch with 4x LNB's for 4x Satellites

jenseneverest,

Thanks for your reply

Yes, you are of course right, any and all Modifications on the Tuner will Void the Warranty. So last resort.

But before I do that I will look for another Box like the AXHD61 4K - GigaBlue Trio 4K - or Octagon SF8008 4K

1 - NO, HDD but USB 128GB Set and Mounted as /media/usb3/ - on one of the other Boxes I had put the HDD in,

BUT it made NO difference, exact same results. SO checked that as well.

2 - Saving EPG to USB stick, stick shows and stores the daily EPG. So checked that as well.

3 - NO Timeshift checked that already - disabled/turned off.......ALL Timers are OFF/Disabled as well.

I don't think I have made a mistake with the EPG settings either see Screenshots.

I have also tried various and most of the Images out there, ALL with the same Tuner/Signal results.

As I type this the Box has come back to life again with Signal returning, absolutely crazy...!!!!

Have made a few Screenshots to show you. EPG Setting Screenshots as well,

A bit windy here today so the Signals on the individual Sat's vary slightly.!

The AGC remains constant its just the SNR which Varies.

Also attached a crash Log from from 08.June 2020, maybe you can please have a look and see if you can find anything.

I have left the last Image on board, cos if I Restart Enigma or Restart Full the Box losses the Signal as well.

So don't want to put the PurE2 back on it. NOT using the Multiboot function yet. Want to keep things simply until I find the problem.

Cheers

Andrew

gorski,

Thanks for looking at my Crash Log, so that is the culprit then?

Yes, same thing on ALL the Boxes I've had.

Strangely on my DM 800/800se/800seV2/8000 and 900UHD ALL is working normally no Signal loss or Tuner fallout.

When Engineers arrives on 18th June we will check ALL of those things.

Well the Signal has just gone again while changing Channels. see below

I am totally baffled by this issue I will NOT give up until its resolved and we find the problem.

Cheers

Andrew

jenseneverest,

Thanks for speedy reply as you can see and imagine I'm getting slightly frustrated.

YES have also the same hesitance about the Octagon SF8008 4K, as you, I DO require a HDD also on board.

same goes for the Gigablue UHD Quad 4K..NO HDD on board.

Although there is a German Shop that does a KIT for the Gigablue, ONLY the larger 3.5 HDD though.!

I'm only using a 128gb USB on the H7S because I don't want to open it up as it might have to go back after the 18th.June

Looks like the AXHD 61 4K is the favourite. BUT no choices will be made until problem resolved.

AS you have stated ALL my other Boxes WORK 100%, NO Signal or Tuner issues whatsoever, this is what is so confusing

as to why the H7S makes such an issue of connecting to my Sat System.

Even the new 900UHD with Dual DVB-S2X Tuners makes NO problems and accept what ever Sat's I throw at it.

My IPTV Channels work well, I know that has nothing to do with the Sat Signal, BUT it goes to show the Settings are NOT corrupt.

About my setting list YES, I use my own BUT again it works on ALL my other Boxes even an old crappy "Eagle 1000S" Box.!!

I have also tried VHannibal settings and others from Plugin, but none have worked either.!

I even tried several different/new "satellite.xml" lists, but even here, alas to NO avail.!!

If after Flashing an Image I agree/choose to load pre- set default Settings from the Wizard Set-Up, it make NO difference the Box still has NO Signal.!!

I can't even Scan after installing a new image, because I have NO Signal.

So I logged into DCC/ Telnet and sent your command, with these results, see attachment and Crash Log.

No Channels or Any Favourite Bouquets were loaded just a single Bouquet which was empty!

Third Pic is MY List for GermanTV

Where does your Settings List get Loaded, with your command?

which Location, is it HDD or the regular /etc/enigma2/ ?

Cos I only have the 128gb USB @ /media /usb3/ at present..NO HDD installed.

if its trying to Load onto HDD it obviously will NOT find it, maybe that's why I'm getting NO new Settings list saved/loaded/

Re-loaded my own settings and they ALL appeared as usual, ALL Bouquets, ALL Channels, ALL Sat's and ALL Favourites

Using E-Channelizer Editor but DreamboxEdit 7.2.1 works just as well.

Lets wait until the Engineer has been on the 18th and see what we find, will report back.

Thanks for your Help and Support Lads.

Cheers

Andrew

gorski,

OK Photos will come after I can get up there with the Engineers Ladders.

I am ONLY using one Tuner on the Zgemma H7S so ONLY one Cable is connected. Tried both Top LNB 1 and Bottom LNB 2.

I said I have tried other Setting Lists YES and they don't work because when they were loaded I could NOT get a Signal.

So HOW can I Test them if there is NO Signal there?

It was just chance or Luck that I got the Signal back every time my Setting were on the Box...Crazy I know.!

But that is how it was truly.

There are generally two Boxes connected mostly in the evening one Downstairs off one DiseqC and the second upstairs

off the Second DiseqC, so BOTH are independent from one another.

They should NOT be getting in each others way and they don't when the DM's are running, its only now, that I'm experiencing such

issues/problems since i hooked up this H7S.!

Details are as follows, for my two DM Boxes and Zgemma H7S upstairs, in my Study/Hobby room.

First Dish 95cm with 3xTwin Inverto 0.2 LNB's Pointing to Astra 19e, Hotbird 13e and Thor 0.8w.

Second Dish 70cm with 1xTwin Inverto 0.2 LNB Pointing to Astra 28.2e

From FIRST Dish three Cables from 3 Sats to DiseqC Switch ONE and Three Cables from 3 Sats to DiseqC Switch TWO

From SECOND Dish one Cable from 1 Sat to DiseqC Switch ONE and one Cable from 1Sat to DiseqC Switch TWO.

The Two Cables from both the Outputs of the DiseqC Switches one of which goes to the Downstairs of House and the second Cable to Upstairs.

Cable run length from FIRST DiseqC to Downstairs Plug /TV approx 8 -10 meters. From SECOND DiseqC to the Upstairs Plug/TV approx 16-18 Meters.

NO complicated bends or corners so I assume Cables are NOT damaged. Why would they be?

I think i mentioned before the LNB's, DiseqC's and Cable compression F-Connectors where only newly installed approx 30 months ago.

By the same Engineer who is coming to check it over,

How can they be fooked already that's insane, unless the Pigeons have really gone to Town on my Sat System and crapped all over it, damaging and

corroding the LNB's , Switches and Cable F- connections. We will see if that's the Case.

Which I can't believe because the LNB's are mostly Plastic and the Switches are shielded with the Plastic Pull down Cover as are the Cable F-Connectors

with rubber slip on seals.

Its a pretty straight forward installation really NOT very complicated, I remember seeing Pics of your Set-Up with those LNB on that Dish of yours in

Sweden I think, so this is so very simple compared to that one of yours.

(I also have a Philips Gregorian Multi Focus Dish 90cm with Motor which is currently NOT running, because its NOT needed.)

Hope the System is explained now and you can imagine what it is?

Cheers

Andrew

I don't understand what you are saying,

I have had several Boxes Yes, and they were all returned because they were NOT picking up any Signal or allowing a Sat Scan..Yes

They have ALL had the same constant NO SIGNAL loss and Box Freezing up with NO Remote Control function, Yes

Only solution was too Switch OFF from Rear with White Button.

This last one i purchased was from an independent Dealer, it is behaving exactly the same as the others, only difference being with this one,

is I can keep it for 30 Days to try and resolve these issues/problems.

The other Boxes I had to return after complaining to the Dealers, they wanted them back straight away.!

I have always been talking about the H7S being the problem, that I have DM which cause NO problem was only mentioned to impress that other

Boxes ON same Cable are working perfectly.

I do know that Setting Lists can cause problems, Yes

But If they do, then one notices that fairly quickly, I would say., they just don't work. So yes I know that, Thanks

The Motorised Dish was NEVER connected to the H7s, I said I have it for my other DM, Yes

I live in the UK and have NO problems with Steady Current Flow issues or Power Failure....Thanks

BT Internet Speed 300mbps. Thanks

I am NOT re-configuring my Set-Up..NO

Always the same... Two Dishes, 4xLNB's, Two DiseqC Switches, Two Cables, one Down one Upstairs. Yes

I have always stated I have Two Fixed Dishes and Twin LNB's and Two DiseqC switches., pointing at 4 Sat's, never anything different. NO

POST 27 above clearly explains my Set-Up, AGAIN, Yes

Yes, I did think I solved the problem but a few Days later it returned, Yes

So why would I say, one is working and then 3 or 4 are NOT?

They have ALL had the same issues/problems.

I'm sorry I feel your being very critical of me and NOT really very helpful. I'm telling you that's how it WAS and IS

So its best if we leave it at that.!

Thanks

Andrew
