    Hi, Not sure whether this is the correct place to post this.


    I have just bought a Zgemma H7c, when it boots up it displays openatv 6.1


    I have done a channel scan it it shows all the UK freeview channels, but they are not in order for example:


    1) BBC1

    2) BBC2

    3) ITV etc


    how do I rectify this?


    Many Thanks

    Hi


    I have done that, it is now on 6.4.


    In the reception menu I see the plugin for AutoBouquetsMaker, but when I click on it and try a scan it gives me an error about Tuner C, but my Ariel is connected to Tuner B.


    Am I doing something wrong?

    Hi Abu


    Thank you for your reply, I am awaiting delivery of a Signal Splitter / Booster box so I can then use both tuners.


    I take it once I disabled Tuner C, I just run the AutoBouquetsMaker scan? And that will give me the correct channel numbers?

    Thanks for all your help, its working now :)


    Just one quick question when I eventually get both tuners connected do I need a multi epg or single as normal?

    Abu, can you comment, please, on this remark/question I have: in PurE2 (so probably in all OE-A images) when you go to MENU > Setup > System > Customise > one can select:

    -Preferred tuner

    -Preferred tuner for recordings.

    That should be sorted out, I think, when one plans to watch something and record something else, or stream (locally or over web), non? Just so one doesn't mess up a started recording, while zapping etc.


    Also, what might be helpful is to set Alternative service tuner priority order, depending on one's HW, right?

    I don't think that there is a need to use preferred tuners unless you have different types. Vast majority of receivers with multiple terrestrial tuners that have internal splitters, so they have the same terrestrial signal supply.


    Only reason to use the preferred tuner options is if using tuners with differing capabilities. For example, on satellite, I have an FBC tuner. I use the leaf tuner as the preferred one so that the root tuner remains free. (ABM and CrossEPG need a root tuner).


    I don't think we have alternative service tuner priority on ViX, so can't comment on that.

    Well, if memory serves, I once messed up my recording, since I didn't pay attention, thinking that whatever I started recording will keep on recording while I was happily zapping... It was a while ago, so can' be sure of it but just thought I'd mention it...
