  • Zgemma s2 motorised problem

    Hey guys
    Just posting this for anyone using a zgemma 2s with a technomate motor and is running into the same problem I had.


    When I first installed the motor I had no power light when the zgemma was plugged in but I did with a cloudibox and technomate receiver.


    It wasn't until I enabled all of the satellites in a menu on the zgemma box then rebooted that I got power and the ability to actually turn the motor to a satellite. With the image I got from sucmnscee I was able to turn to 28.2e and 19.2e but no other satellites. The others are disabled by default. It was very strange but glad I got it sorted. I have a friend with an identical set up and this worked for him also.


    Hope this helps someone.

    Hey Jami92 I did.


    It's very particular with which Cccam it uses. I have tried images from sucmnscee and mtpockets that had working cccam.


    I'm still not giving up! I think I have missed something simple.


    Can anyone tell me if it's absolutely required to do a scan on each satellite when doing a motorised install or will a European Channel list and updated satellites.xml suffice?


    I'm thinking perhaps I'll have to move my dish with my technomate and scan each satellite with the zgemma to make the sat stick.

    Hey guys


    Figured out my issue.


    Two things were wrong.


    Strangely the box was not sending usals info to the motor despite being set up correctly.


    I had to configure the lnb for one sat to begin with setting it up to use usals.
    Configuring lnb is not available in the positioner setting.


    I then changed everything back to positioner settings and it's now working.


    The other thing was my satellite list that I had in the box was not up to date.

    Hi guys, just thought I'd update here as I'm constantly learning from threads and who knows who could be reading this in time.


    I returned my Zgemma Star S2 thinking it must be faulty as so many other people are able to move their motorised set up with the box.


    I purchased a second box from a different supplier on ebay as did a friend. We are both having the same issue.


    We both have technomate motors although different models


    I also tried the cloud ibox 2 plus power supply with no luck and maybe 15 various images, openatv, openvix and openpli4.
    In openpli 4 an icon and countdown image shows up saying how long it will be until it reaches whatever satellite I tell it to go to but the dish won't move so I think USALs is doing the calculation correctly but maybe the information isn't being sent to the motor correctly?


    If I solve it I'll make sure to post it.


    I'm open to any suggestions as I really do like this box.


    Do I maybe have a clone of a zgeamma? if so how do I tell?

    Hey guys,


    I got the zgemma star s2 and have had great difficulty with it moving my motorised dish. I have a cloud ibox 2+ and tm5402hd that work fine with the set up.


    I've tried nearly every image I can find openpli, openatv, hd freaks and open vix. Openatv and openpli worked great whereas hd freaks and open vix froze a lot. None of them moved the dish. All settings were correct with usals etc and I tried many european channel lists to no avail. Loaded in via tsmedia and with Dreambox control centre.


    I tried a scan on a fixed dish 28.8e no problem. All the channels came in fine on all images but it still won't move the dish.


    I'm beginning to think I don't have an original box. The ebay seller asked me to research cloud ibox 2 plus boxes that had similar problems as he's never used the zgemma star s2 on a motorised dish before. He said he thought it was a plug in issue.


    I also haven't been able to activate an nline or cline with this box. I've tried cccam and mgcamd.


    Other than the issues I'm having it's a great box. Very fast, responsive and the remote is great. Just wish I could get it working.


    Any help would be much appreciated!
