Hi all,
I just got my Zgemma H7S and have spent the last few days setting it all up the way I like it.
It's a great box!! PQ is beter than my old Freesat HDR-1000s and its also snappier and doesn't crash so often :-)
All great apart from..... The remote control. I have a "One-for-all" remote but setting it up is going to be a real ball-ache as my model does not have any Zgemma codes baked in and "One-for-all" support are being less than responsive to my support ticket).
so..... I have (for now) enabled HDMI-CEC and am sticking to the Enigma2 remote for most things. The only thing the HDMI-CEC really does is the volume of the TV and also the mute and the power button turning the TV off/On etc. The problem is that the zgemma remote supplied is weak (in terms of the fact that it needs to be pointed more towards the box to work than I am comfortable with (poor eyes so need to look at remote when pressing buttons)). I don't think there is any fault with the remote or box at all (I suspect it's because the IR receiver in the box is a bit sub-par or the remote is pushing out a relatively weak IR signal (or a very low angle focused signal). This is my first enigma2 box so I have nothing to compare it with.
What I have noticed in the menus is that you can set the box up with a multitude of other remote controls such as: Mara M9, DMM Advanced, et9100, VU+, et1300, XP1000, HD530c, VS1500, XP3000 ww10 4k, Axas E4HD Ultra, Protek 4k uhd, etc, etc, etc.
The qustion I have is .... Are any of these remotes "stronger" and "more forgiving on angle" that the zgemma remote? If so I may look to invest in one of these. The "One-for-all" remote I have (
RC7140 R02) has a really strong transmission and a really wide angle and I loved it! I just can't be doing with programming about 50 buttons as its long winded and I tried one button and it didn't work.
Any tips / advice really appreciated. I don't have a massive budget so options around the £20 mark would fit well.
Cheers,
Paul
