    Offical support from OpenATV and OpenDroid. (thus far)
    Despite a few arguments this is not a cloned receiver. It has its own hardware and drivers.

    I have run all the normal tests on a motorised and fixed dish setup.
    It moves the motorised dish well from both limits of east and west but not as quickly as my xpeed boxes or the xp1000 (when i had that)
    The 2nd tuner is not as sensitive as my other boxes on weaker signals and channel change is a little slower.
    Recording of 2 channels and playback all work fine. As dose timeshift, pause , rewind etc etc
    I have tested a few wifi sticks and all have worked well.
    No scart or rs232 connection, but dose have AV connections.
    The remote control is vastly better than the cloud ibox range (airsat digital also make.) and even works pointed at the ceiling.
    To sum up, this is a great little box for about 60 squid!!

    ViX dont make images for clones, any image you find for this or any other clone by the Airdigital manufacturer is a unofficially patched image and we take no responsibility for it.

    I don't need to check any site, I have worked as a team member within ViX for almost 5 years. There is not now and never will be any form of ViX support for this or any other clone by Airdigital.


    I'll put it in simpler terms for you. If it is not listed here www.openvix.co.uk then ViX dont support it.

    Yes your correct, it is the same as most linux boxes, stick to the official firmware from OpenATV or openDroid. None of the other firmware available will run correctly as its been patched (and badly so) from other platforms.
    There is plenty enough info on the forum and most of what you have asked for can be done with your remote control.

    I did followed the steps but it doesn't work.


    1. Download the zip file and unzip to USB with Fat32
    2. Insert at rear USB port and power on/off
    3. Nothing happens.


    Can u link me popular channel list like ajsat ones.

  • Hi first time on this site so apologies if posting in the wrong section. Ive just bought a Zgemma-Star 2S Twin Tuner Enigma 2 Linux IPTV Box‏ and its my fist time using it.
    It came with channels and a gift all loaded onto it but i'd like a quick update as what else I can do with it. I find it not really user friendly as I always had sky.
    Can I get a link to a manual and help on downloading skins and recording e.g doing series link and once off recording.
    Just one more thing, when viewing a recorded program I can only see half of the text, e.g deleted items (only half of the txt is visible so it makes finding programs hard to find.

  • No need to apologize bud... your ignorance/ naivety are so obvious...
    READ THE RULES before you go any further..
    There is absolutely 100% NO SUPPORT FOR PAYSERVERS AND/OR THEIR SUPPORTERS
    No more excuses!!
