or if using the usual usb flash with the zgemma on a formatted usb stick turn of box using back power button insert usb in back and switch on using back button then box should change from usb to flash.

download here
:download:


Set with mgcamd1.38. & cccam2.3 and with all mg_cfg and newcamd.list and CCcam.cfg files needed in place! Just edit your details in and reboot! DO NOT SEND YOUR FILES IN. EDIT WHATS ALREADY THERE


Do not online update Vix on any box from Airsat (ibox/zgemma). I have updates turned off anyway.


OK. Basically u need a usb or hard drive that can be wiped and devoted to the box.
That will store program guide and recordings and timeshift to rewind TV etc.
4gb is minimum I'd recommend. But more is better.
Once image is flashed and u edit ur newcamd.list file in usr/keys or CCcam.cfg in /etc with filezilla. a guide is at the bottom of the page
Get the permanent USB/hdd onto a PC and quick format it.








ZGEMMA DISHCABLE'S SETTUP
plug one dish cable into tuner A(sat). and the second cable into B(vm).
You will need to plug kenable F Type Screw Connector Socket to RF Coax Aerial Male Adapter to plug into tuner b

select Tuner B: and input your network id
tuner configuration.jpg
check here for a list of network ids cable netids
you will need both sat and cable leads connected aswell as a sub for both

added info: you will also need a network connection for scanning channels and to unscramble the channels
either use a lan cable, home plugs or wifi adapter. lan cable or home plugs is recommended for a more stable connection
please do not post in this thread regarding wifi adapters as i dont use them so i cannot offer support

creating a backup

once done you may want to create a backup so you can reflash if needed at a later date




Creating a backup for usb flash
vix
1. Go to menu, setup, vix, image manger and press green for new backup this process will take a while and seems to stop at 18% but don’t worry its just creating the backup

2. FTP to media/hdd and click on imagebackups and transfer the folder that says dsayers2014-openvixrelease-numbers.zip to desktop

3. on desktop unzip the openatv folder and you should see a zgemma folder drag that to desktop open it then open the h3 folder inside there you should see 3 folders karnel, imageversion and roofs.bin leave it open

4. now go to my original backup and you should see force in the h3 folder place that in your backup and you should be good to go and place the zgemma folder in a usb to flash another box or yours if you need to reflash.
If you want to reflash your box and still can go through the menus go to menu, setup,vix, imagemanager and press blue to restore

Hi dsayers will this work if I only have vermin and not sat connected?
No sat and cable only because of the sat_282_sky_uk_CustomMix.xml file you can ftp usr ,lib, enigma2, python, system plugins, autobouqets marker, custom and delete it then you should be able to use it if not use bio heads or dillyp Bacup
 
Just to reiterate - been using the older image and this newer one now as well and it's awesome! Can't wait for KIDDACS new skin over the top and I just don't know how it could get any better! :)
 
Just joined this forum, have been reading and trying to understand. I have just purchased the Zgemma h2h, and will be following your tutorial and your image. It looks great
 
here we go again sorry followed instruction start scanning and it fails got my net id correct autbouquetsmaker says timeout tuner lock please help thanks
 
@ dsayer2014, love your vix4.1 image mate top notch. I have an issue with the 7 day EPG on the cable side as it only seems to give me 1 day, when I press next 24hrs nothing appears next to channels.
Is this something within the image or do I need to edit some sort of settings within the skin? Any help would be appreciated. The sky 7 day EPG is bang on no issues.
 
Moved to your new image to give it thread a bump - excellent work and working fine with just Syke input ;)
Few minors issues - some channels are missing eg Atlantic +1, ITV Be - whats best way to get these back in?
Also the EPG force update does not seem to fill in all info is this normal
 
For grossepg should be fulling all the data for sat

Itv Be sd is set to be replaced with virgins HD channel
If you're using just sat you need to delete the custom.xml file ftp /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/AutoBouquetsMaker/custom and delete the sat_282_sky_uk_CustomMix.xml reboot box then start scan
You will also need to disable EPGRefresh press portal choose EPGrefresh change Refresh EPG automatically to no

Thanks to donerkebab for highlighting that sky Atlantic+1 was missing ive managed to amend that in the custom xml file extract this to desktop View attachment sat_282_sky_uk_CustomMix.rar ftp the sat_282_sky_uk_CustomMix.xml file to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/AutoBouquetsMaker/custom
reboot box and start scan. This is only for people using sat and cable

Great image dsayer2014 working a treat. I do have one issue though, I cant seem to get the 7 day EPG on cable side, its only giving me 1 day, is this normal or is there a fix? Any help would be appreciated. thanks.
 
Hi,

With this image, I understand you get one set of bouquets for all channels.

When you want to record something, does it automatically choose a specific tuner and then are you able to move to a different channel using the other tuner.

I like to record on sly side (sd - Less space) and then watch live TV in HD.

Also, if I already have my image setup using 4.1, can I just ftp the file across?

Thanks
 
No it doesn't choose a specific tuner but if you record a sd channel there sky so you can watch hd channels virgin or go to the last bouquet all channels there the vm channels.

Yes you can do the same setup with the h1 use the file from post 10 ftp it in the same location on the h1 and setup autobouqete marker the same as the h2h.
Yes you can use the ftp method it's much easier than messing around with usb sticks.
 
Thanks, does that mean if I record a show on one channel, to watch something on a different channel (possibly different transponder) then I would need to go to the v bouquet? Are you aware of any clever ways it selects the free tuner based on channel name?

Thanks for that will give it a try for the missing channels. What I mean about the EPG is some channels will be missing any EPG info. So the EPG auto refreshes over night? I am slightly worried how hot the Zgemma box is running especially in the hot weather so would prefer to shut down overnight.
 
You can change the time crossepg runs in crossepg choose configure and change the time have you taken off the plastic film around the box
