  • Zgemma H7S - how default to HD?

    There are two areas where the EPG is updated. One in the ABM Provider ssection, the other in OpenTV EPG download. I've set one of them to 1am, the other to 2am. I assume that is how it's done . . .

  • Zgemma H7S - how default to HD?

    6.6.005 (Release)

    I solved the problem. As is often the case it was user error . I missed a final step of running an EPG update. Once I'd done that, the EPG was populated with just the HD channels.


    To force the update I had to go into the EPG update settings and set a time for a couple of minutes ahead and it ran. Is there any way of simply forcing an EPG update without having to change the auto update settings?


    Thanks for your abu baniaz

  • Zgemma H7S - how default to HD?

    Under Setup/Tuners & Scanning/AutoBouquetsMaker/Providers/FreeSat UK I set up these options;


    Region = BBC E Midlands/ITV Central E

    FTA Only = no

    Create main bouquet = yes (only HD)

    Create sections bouquets = no

    Create FTA bouquet = no

    Create FTA HD bouquet = no


    I did a scan and it finds no channels at all and the EPG is empty. The only way it finds channels is if I set 'Create sections bouquets = yes". I have no interest in the sections bouquets!

  • Zgemma H7S - how default to HD?

    I'm new to these boxes, so please excuse me if I am asking about something obvious.

    I use my new Zgemma H7S with OpenVIX software to watch Freesat in the UK. When I look at the bouquet I see several categories and the first is Freesat UK HD. This is all I am interested in. I never want to see SD broadcasts. I'm half-way there when I go to FAV and select that bouquet - I can channel hop and only see HD channels. However, if I select a channel by its number, eg 101 (BBC1 HD), and then move up the channels, I am back out of Freesat UK HD and see all the SD Freesat channels as I hop. The box seems to default to the Freesat Entertainment category. It does that OK, if that's what I wanted it would be perfect, lol, - but I want it to default to Freesat UK HD.

    My question is this: How can I make sure my Zgemma H7S always stays in the Freesat UK HD bouquet and never strays? I'd even be happy if I could delete the unwanted SD channels, but I don't know how. I tried reconfiguring ABM to not make the categories for Freesat - but after a scan there were no channels at all.

    Thank you.
