How to Setup from out the box

Remove from your box; mains adapter and cable, remote control (2xAAA batteries required), HDMI
cable and ZGemma.

TIP Make sure to remove all plastic shrink-wrap from ZGemma before powering on! Leaving on the
shrink-wrap may cause the box to overheat due to air vents being covered.

First connect your two existing satellite coax cables into the back of the box (like below). Ensure there
tightly connected.

Note: If your only using one satellite co ax cable it must go into 'TUNER A IN' (bottom right port)

If your using a second then it must go into LNB IN (top port)

Connect your internet cable (not included) either directly from your router or via home plugs into the
back of the box

Record and Series Link
Use the EPG to find the show you want to add to series link.

Highlight the show and press the record button on your remote (The Red DOT near the other playback
keys)

Select 'Record Once' - Will record the program the once

or

Select Series Link

The next screen will show you the parameters that will match a show and generate a timer in order for
the show to record.

For shows that are on roughly the same time on the same day each week, these default settings are
probably going to be OK for you

For daily soaps you will need to change some options: o Deselect the option that says Only on
Weekday as leaving this selecting will only record a show on that particular day of the week o If the
soap or show you want to record sometimes comes on at odd times of the day, deselect the Match
Timespan option

As an example, for Coronation Street, which is on regularly during weekdays once or twice a
day, deselecting Only on Weekday will generally be sufficient as the time span usually covers
and hour before the start and an hour after the end of the show you selected which usually
covers days when the show is on twice such as at 7:30 and 8:30 But if in doubt, deselect the
Match Timespan option.

Press Green to confirm these parameter

The next page will confirm the extended settings and parameters Its important to know that at this
point, the series link is not set.

You shouldnt need to change any setting here, so press Green to confirm the Series Link

Press Exit to return to the TV

After a brief pause you may see a message box confirming timers have been added

Wait 30 seconds and then press Timer on your remote. You should see your Series Link in the list. For
shows on once a week, youll usually just see one show. For soaps etc, you should expect to see a few
entries.

EPG (Program Guide) Problems

On occasions you may find that the EPG shows the same programme info for some or all channels. This
is usually a result of a corrupt epg.dat file that may have been caused by power outage or general issue
writing to your USB drive. The fix described here should result in the epg.dat being deleted (which will
initially leave you with a blank EPG) and fresh EPG data being downloaded.

If you find this keeps happening, its most likely a problem with your USB drive and Id recommend
replacing that

Red Button > 2 (Fixes Menu) > 4 (Remove all EPG Data) > After a brief wait, your box will appear to
restart NOTE At this point your EPG will be empty The next steps depend on whether you are
running Sky or Virgin If you run both, run both steps Sky

Green Button > CrossEPG Downloader > When CrossEPG has finished downloading a reboot is advised
