    Default Zgemma H.2s advice please

    hi, just got one of these but before I plug it in does anyone have some info on setting it up please?
    Do I just let it do it's own setup and then *play* after it's gone through initial setup?
    it has come with OpenATV installed
    many thanks in advance

    Install openvix mate. Thats a perfect image,

    With great skins to resemble sly or cable.

    Openvix does a image for this, on the official zgemma site bud.

    Up to you of course, but openvix is so userfriendly.

    OpenVix don't support these at all - the images on the Zgemma site are hacked together to work - the last one I saw was a modified OpenAtv.

    If you ever update the version of OpenVix installed through the menus you'll softbrick the box, and it would need a reflash from USB.

    Thanks to reverend

    Hacked or not, they still work 100%.. And you dont have to use the updates of course.

    Each to there own though

    If you must use a clone at least buy a decent power supply for it - I've seen one first hand bubble up the plastic of the PSU due to overheating.

    No way I'd risk one of those with my kids mate.

    Openvix all the way and change the figure eight cable for proper uk one, big one people miss is the plastic on box as you can't tell its wrapped around it its that tight and invisible to the eye

    I've made up custom images for both 2s and h2s meaning only thing have to edit once flash is on is line and picons rest all done

    Sticking to vu+ stuff for myself and stick to nitevixhd skin

    I use openvix 3.2 and update through the box. It uses the closest match which is a maxdigital xp 1000 so changes the name. I of course have a backup of pre any updates just in case. Grab Kiddacs skin as it looks the best.

    Yep kiddacs makes bluehd look like SD in comparison and v3 will be in progress soon [emoji106]🏼

    My image runs modded 3.2.021, kiddacs 2.0, custom boot logo, cache flush, mgcamd, Oscam, perm Vfd clock and few other tweaks and I can setup a box In under 15 mins very handy if ever need to reflash etc

    I had this box and after trying a few images i found Openvix to be the best. Set it not to update...simples.

    I have removed the plastic having seen that mentioned on here before I bought one. By figure of eight cable, you mean swap it for one with a UK plug moulded to it?

    It was the actual top half of the plastic that bubbled up on the PSU I had and I replaced it for one of these:

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B..._prd_ttl_sol_0

    They did say they'd fix it way back when, not sure what cables they come with now but might be worth checking to see if they are fused etc now properly?

    Thanks to reverend
