  • Hi all


    So im looking to replace my Vu+ Duo (Genuine, purchased around 2011/12) which is currently being used with a motorised dish, its just getting too slow and clunky now. Ive already done the capacitor fix on it once :)


    Ive done some searching and the Zgemma H7S gets recommended a lot, the prices of these receivers have come down a lot from back in the day!


    I wanted to ask how reliable the Zgemma H7S with USALs? ive seen some receivers that have trouble moving a dish due to weaker internals and ive been some work arounds where you need to be on a V channel on one satellite then move to another V channel on another satellite for the dish to move as V polarisation uses more power hence helps move the motor.


    Anyway the internal positioner on the Vu+ Duo is great i just want the new receiver to be just as good.


    i only use the the dish for the football and it needs to support the usual cams, i do not need an android box as i have Shield TV for that


    Is the Zgemma H7S the one to go for?


    My dish is only single feed so you may say a triple tuner maybe a bit overkill but i guess its future proof in case of expansion.


    Thanks

  • It's simple to upgrade: put a Dual feed or Quad LNB and add a cable to the other Sat TV tuner... Cheap and great!


    I don't use the motor but from what I heard - no problem....

    Thanks


    i think i can sort out a static 28.8E feed for Tuner 1 and il use Tuner 2 for the motorised Dish. i dont record so hopefully will be fine


    i think from memory it was a Dark Motor that was installed so it will be 13 / 18V . Ive ordered one anyway! arriving tomorrow with PureE2 pre installed.


    just going to read up on how to best set it up now.

  • so you have made your mind on what your going to have ?


    so what was the question

    Zgemma H7S - For motorised Dish - is it reliable?


    and upon Googling for a few hours, ive not read anything bad about this box so ordered one.


    it was between this or the AX HD61 which seems like another popular receiver. but its £50 more than the H7S.

  • Zgemma H7S - For motorised Dish - is it reliable?


    answer is NO

    you will need a very good LNB for it to work




    but you have made your mind up

  • ok thanks. il give it a go and report back.


    Do you know if the AV HD61 is better for motorised set up?

  • Is there a difference in Power Supply Unit (PSU) in terms of A? Can't remember now....

  • thanks for that


    i have read that i guess around march when it was put there

    i bought the 7s mainly for IPTV which is it main good point


    during full lockdown (this one is not)


    i bought a c120 lnb from sweden

    put it on and worked like a charm

    with the settings you mention on that post


    but if i replace with any other LNB ie them 3 new one's i have

    it goes back to a dead-duck


    but thanks for putting that info here


    i accepted my box for what it is great iptv but as a sat box at least in my case hope not others

    it's a 3 out 10 if you dont mind sticking to 1 sat

  • Sat/terrestrial TV is so much more than that..... And all the rest of it is indeed great.


    C-band blindscan (American experience with that) is allegedly not OK (although it can be remedied) - but all the rest of it is great.


    IPTV, playback, streaming - all seem very, very fine.


    Plus the HW advantages, 4 partitions etc. etc.


    The best I had...
