After my zGemma h2s gift recently went off, like everyone else, I;ve decided to go the cable route.
I hav e few questions though before I take the plunge.
My gift supplier has told me he'll upgrade my remaining term to cable (for some more money).
I have virgin fibre broadband internet coming in to my house but no tv.
I used to get tv from them so still have a box inside with a splitter connected but only one cable going to my virgin router (which was connected to my h2s via lan cable).
If I buy a zGemma h5.2tc, can I record one channel while watching another or would a standard H5 do (only £2 difference)?
What cable(s) would I need to connect to the box (single or double, with another splitter)?
Does it connect to the f-connector??
Will I get TV even though I don't get any TV package from virgin?
Or should I just get a H2h or H2 (£11 difference) cable version.
The recording one channel while watching another isn't a REAL deal breaker but if there's a soap on while I'm watching something the missus will make my life hell....
Does it run the same software? I was using wooshbuild and found this perfectly acceptable.
Is the config the same? c-line, mgcam or ccam etc.
Sorry for all the questions but the wife is kicking up a stink about the loss of all the channels.
Thanks in advance
