I seem to remember reading somewhere the Edison OS Mini being able to watch powervu channels without stream relay
its something that has been bugging me for a while
Why can this not be done on the Zgemma H2H?
When you look at the specs of both boxes there is not much in it
Have i got this wrong?
Finally after four weeks i have managed to get a powervu channel up and running on my H2H
Some might laugh but this is my first ever enigma2 box, i only got it 8 weeks ago and this is all new to me
Funny thing is i have a Mutant HD51 due in the next week or so, i just wanted to learn how to do it
Credits to people who helped, gmangt4, jensen, masterg, esuo2
This was a massive step for mankind!!! and very annoying too
Will post a guide if anyone needs help

Another picture just to prove it is working
I am trying to use dreamset to work on the powervu channels for my Zgemma H2H
When i try to save my box settings i get 'cannot delete registy key'
just took me about two hours to work out why my backups are not working and why my box keeps hanging
its when i install isetting
is it just me?
Will this work with Mutant HD51
NEW LNB SORTED IT
BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jensen you are the man
Also big thanks to kegnkiwi for his help
Do you think the problem could be that i have a dual LNB, should i go buy single LNB
You know what I am torn here
I feel like I am one setting away from solving this
I hate quitting a 'project'
Spoke to vendor again today, he has spoken to woosh etc about this
None of those guys use motors
We need to pool all information in one place as a reference point
Hate to harp on but it runs well on skybox
I even tried USALS1 settings today with a manual scan on multisat
Getting tuner config error
Some clever b'stard will crack this soon cough Jensen cough
Vendor told me a guy in Ireland fixed it after 3 months but he couldn't remember how
The box is sending the signal ie moving west but the motor isn't getting the correct 'code'
Your post on the other forum said you were given the dish motor etc....
Is it possible the lnb is defective or has had water in it?
The zgemma changes the voltage at the tuner to 18v and 5v or something simolar can't remember exact off the top of my head.....for horizontal and vertical tp''s. If you have a multimeter messure what you are getting and I will compare to mine.
Off topic.... my own motor has started to mess about where by it is tuning slowly east by fine west.... if I end up replacing it will do a full zgemma motorised guide....
Hi sorry for late reply
I am an electrician so have lots of test gear
Where exactly do i measure the voltage? ie at the incoming coax cable?
Today i had a brain fart and disconnected the LNB believe it or not i was able to move the dish
I think its a power supply issue, i can scan 28.2 on single and get 1000 channels so we know the tuner is good
The skybox F5S is moving the dish quite freely
I simply think the zgemma is not giving out enough power to the motor/LNB
On 0.8w the skybox finds 300 plus channels, the zgemma cannot even get a lock in signal finder (not enough power?)
Gonna pick up a 12v 5a power supply in the morning
If that fails i am done, can sell this box tomorrow no problem its a great box
Looking at the Xtrend 8500 (hopefully it wont come to that)
Totally off topic the openspa image is nice, using confluence skin same as kodi

Update: Tried a 5a supply nothing, currently in 0 degrees position with a supply trying to find Das Erste on 19.2
It wont move the dish end of
On the latest ATV nightly
Satellite.xml up to date, vhannibal full motor channel list
Tuner config; simple - positioner
Sometimes you have to concede defeat, gutted as its a great box the cable is awesome and single sat is awesome
Xtrend 8500 it is then

Can anyone help me please. I bought Zgemma h2s from a friend last two months and not been enjoying it at all because it freezes all the time and tired now . I want to restart the box to factory setting and need a good image for it.
Can anyone help me please. Thanks

can anyone help me please. I have Zgemma h2s . Just bought from a friend since August 2016 but have not been enjoying it because it freezes all the time. Now I want to reset the box to factory setting but need help on a good image and cc**m set up.
i want to do it by myself. Please help. Thanks
What are you using it for? satellite, cable or both
To be honest i have had the H2H for a couple of weeks, its my first ever linuxbox and i know it inside out now
Read, read and then read
These boxes are very basic, go to zgemma.tv and pick the latest nightly for whatever image you want to use
Inside the file 'zgemma' will be a file called noforce - just rename it to force and you will be on the latest nightly for your box (very similar to updating cyanogenmod on your phone lol)
Then just add your line(s) and you are off
Good luck if you are using a motorized dish.....
No it does not move east and west in positioner
It does not have a constant supply
I think if I can set it up on the f5s I can possibly get it to work on this box

Finally after 5 days a small step
Not there just yet

nope back to square one its not having it
scans fine on any single sat but wont move between sats when i change channel
up to date satellite.xml/vhannibal channel list
skybox moving dish for fun
Vendor is adamant its a software fault even though many people have their boxes running fine

Just tested out a theory
Went up and disconnected the LNB
Box was able to power the dish east and west in positioner setup
Suspected it was a power issue from day one, thing is i went out and purchased a 12v 3.5a power supply
Now i am going to return that and try a 5a supply, will report back with findings
Please do not take my post the wrong way, it was by no means a dig at yourself in anyway, nor anyone new to the hobby
I appreciate there is an issue, and am willing to help anyone trying to resolve it for the greater good of our hobby.
Unfortunately i have not managed to replicate it myself, despite trying on the 3 motors mentioned prior. I am not a vendor nor an installer, those motors are all mine or family members.
The zgemma is a cheap box made with cheap parts in China. There very well may be a hard ware issue where the power amperage on the tuner differs from box to box. It could also be drivers i do not know. With reference to your thread on the other forum all i can say my cheap 45 quid motor is on a 40 meter cheap shotgun cable run and works fine. So what i am saying is if any experienced user , like a satellite installer, has come accross the issue themselves, would they please report their findings. That may be a stab in the dark as most installers do not use Zgemma boxes.....Should you resolve your issue post back how, i have only given my opinion on the subject, and as said above that is open to debate. Good luck
i apologise if my post came across as offensive in any way
To be honest looking around the forums in general you are the only person who has tried to help people with information (and pictures) in your guides
The problem for a newbie like me is there is so little information about this box and motorised dishes
My problem is my dish is not set up correctly and i assumed the box would be able to help me do this
That is not the case, but what i could not get my head around was the fact a skybox f5s can do most of the basic functions ie power the dish for a start and move it east or west
Once my dish is set up correctly i feel confident i can search for each satellite individually
today for example i did a multi sat search, dish went to furthest east sat and stayed there whilst scanning the rest of the sats
You know when you could headbutt the wall.....
Okay fine. But why is it that I (and many others) have tested it with 3 motors types ( 2 TM models and a supreme dark motor) on the s2 hs hs2 h2h with no problems?
Agreed there may be an issue but what is required is experienced people to post with details of make and model of motor and the tests undertaken to resolve it. For the most part all I have read is posts from inexperienced users. Anyone trying with a patched vix image is wasting there time.
And that is exactly what i said to the vendor, when you are new to something the only replies you get are from people speaking to you like you are a fkng idiot
Just because you are new to something means nothing, it works fine on my F5S
its not rocket science it should work, connect to motor, drive to sat
We all had to start somewhere, i am trying to post in the right places - if you read the thread i have linked to i am trying to be as informative as possible
Also fwiw i am using openatv 5.3 and following YOUR instructions
Zgemma H2H
Technomate 90cm dish
Technomate TM2300 M2 motor
Technomate TM2 lnb
13m webro WF100 cable
I will work it out in the end, i am starting to think about it differently now and possibly know where i may be going wrong
BUT if i do work it out i will be a damn sight more helpful than most.... for other people 'new' to this
Also having problems with a motorised dish, works perfectly fine on my crappy F5S yet spent four days pulling my hair out with this box

Even spoke to the vendor who informs me its a know issue with the software
