    STAB 90 Dish Motor Needs More Power!

    I don't guess you saw the part where Brian referred to me as "Slim"? Don't you think that might come of as Snarky? But as usual, nothing gets said, Titainum gets defended as a King for always being right, regardless. Maybe both of you are misreading my posts too, like always? I suggested some...

    Snarky remarks, huh? Well, maybe I will and maybe I won't then. [emoji5] When nobody ever takes me seriously on this forum, and gives me snarky unchallenged remarks of their own on almost everything, I'm driven to fight back for my humility by putting things out there how I see it, that's all...

    Well, right now I'm back over the road in my Semi-Truck for the next several days, so I won't be able to do much until I get home again. When I get more time, I can do several more scanning experiments, including to see if the box will store any new TP's manually entered into it. My H7S being...

    Ok, I may stand corrected a little bit. I tend to associate an Automatic Scan and Manual Scan as a Blind Scan, since everytime I've run one on this box, it refreshes the channel list. But within the Manual Scan, you can enter the specific TP info you know of and scan for that, perhaps updating...

    Full production H7S boxes even let you access your box from any computer or smartphone browser. You can watch your favorite channels streamed to your tablet or phone from about anywhere. You can also look at the technical specs of the box from your computer. Just enter the H7S IP Address in the...

    Well, there was a good 2 or 3 month delay before the factory went into full production two weeks ago. The delay was caused by a significant change of the front panel design, otherwise everything remained the same. The circuit board in my H7S has a date of April 2017, all highend Boadcom parts...

    Are you sure you got the Genuine Zgemma H7S STB receiver directly from Air Digital Limited factory and not a copied box from someone else?? [emoji5] If you had a H7S for the past couple of months, why not say anything about it back then?? [emoji5] Did your sample come with any kind of owners...

    Did a Blind Network Scan of Ku Band 103W got it done in under 2 minutes. Same thing for 97W Ku, all 250+ channels found within 2 minutes. [emoji3][emoji16]

    I've thought about selling the Zgemma H7S on my Eh Bah Account, but I won't have the money to buy 5 at a time, much less one, just to sell them at cost. $200 at cost is going to be a bit steep for a good while but still worth it. The H7S has a highend Boadcom chipset, not ALI. There isn't much...

    I will try to post a pic a little later, but yes the Zgemma H7S does a wicked fast Blind Scan and doesn't seem to miss any channels either. [emoji3] Because this is a Linux based box using OpenPLi it is going to be a bit more involved getting it set up for the first time. But once you get...

    You can insert a HDD in the provided bracket for recording and backing up the system. There is also a front slot under the cover to insert a small old pin style Laptop HDD.

    Here are some general specs and a pic of the H7AC Model that will be coming out soon. I don't need the ATSC tuner that comes with the H7AC, I wanted strictly satellite. [emoji3]

    Right now, I don't have any 4K content or a 4K TV to test, I'm planning to upgrade in another year or two. [emoji5]

    STAB 90 Dish Motor Needs More Power!

    It's got it!! [emoji3][emoji3] Thats why I wanted this box so badly. The Zgemma H7S new dual core 1.7Ghz CPU is capable of processing and displaying 4K UHD Video, and the hybrid tuner is capable of getting S, S2, and S2X Signals. You have two satellite inputs, so you can record one channel while...

    I think I'm the only person in the US to have a brand new Zgemma H7S, it was made in April. [emoji5] I'm thinking of writing a full review if anyone is interested, unless they are still happy with the Linkbox.

    STAB 90 Dish Motor Needs More Power!

    Exactly! [emoji3] For the new Enigma 2 receivers, the Open Based Firmware depends on certain drivers and other plugins like Equipment Motor Control to help the box to send out USALS and Diseqc commands properly. If an incompatible driver or slight incompatible Open Firmware is used, certain...

    Late last night I scanned in all of the Ku Band channels from 103W, blind scanning only takes two minutes!! Fast!!! But the best news is that this Zgemma Receiver with OpenPLi Firmware is in fact able to bring in not only AC3 Audio, but also bring in Dolby E Audio as well on some channels like...

    I've only used a Power Inserter once to drive more voltage to my C-Band LNBF. I Thankfully I don't have to go through all that now. [emoji3] The OpenPLi Firmware is I'm using is working much better, even though it's a Candidate release. [emoji5]

    I don't have a current rating for the Zgemma H7S, there is nothing mentioned on the back panel or the specs elsewhere. But I do now have much better news, I found a solution to my dish motor problem! [emoji3] I wasn't exactly happy with the OpenATV 6.0 firmware, so a good while ago, I reflashed...

    STAB 90 Dish Motor Needs More Power!

    Theoretically a two way splitter with a DC power path on one side used in reverse could be tried, the DC power side goes out to the LNB, the power isolated side could go to a DC power inserter to run the motor, this way Diseqc commands to move the motor will go to the motor and any DC voltage...

    STAB 90 Dish Motor Needs More Power!

    Yeah, running another cable around the house for the motor won't be too feasable. I do know the Zgemma H7S has two Voltage Regulators and several or more Electrolytic Capacitors on the board as well as three fuses. I don't have a schematic to know what does what causing the low current for the...

    Early Thursday, I began testing a brand new Zgemma H7S Satellite Reciever from Air Digital Ltd. for my Ku Band motorized dish. This is the first Enigma 2 Open Firmware based Reciever I have ever used and so far it's a real beauty! [emoji5] The Zgemma H7S has three hybrid tuners inside, 2 for...
