Buy direct with confidence from airsat in china or find a local to do them. Should be close to 70+

I dont see any benefit to the unofficial vix over supported images as ive never had time to give the others a real chance but would defo be up for trying anybodies backups from other images. (Hint hint. Get posting ur backups everyone! lol )

@Sucmnsee - I meant no disrespect whatsoever - your build is VERY good :highfive:, it was just me being a tart doing the online update by mistake that filled me with fear and moved me back to OpenATV. TBH I don't think there's anything you can do with VIX that you cant with OpenATV it's just the ability of OTA updates that wooed me! (I maybe wrong!)
In terms of the backup image are there any files other than your C/N-Line that you remove before posting?
Guys I just have a couple of things left to sort on my image before it's fit for sharing and I am struggling for time at the moment - maybe this weekend?. For example with my ISP I don't need a proxy so haven't done this or looked into how. It also needs a $ly themed backdrop.mvi file (i think this is the file) as the factory one is ugly when used with the blueHD skin I'm using, I've not yet sourced an .mvi creator for linux or windows or found a viewer and pre-done backdrop.mvi that would look good. I also need to look into resizing the recorded items view of epg as somehow the skin is too small and you can't see the text for the recorded items. Then just some sort of "how to" to write.....
Any hints on proxy setup or the .mvi files would be very much appreciated guys!

No offence taken dude!
I just edit my newcamd.list to remove my details then reboot just in case before a backup.
U could try removing blue hd skin and installing the 2014 skyskin by fraggle ipk in dl section here. If you like how it looks. I prefer it for some reason to BlueHD.

That is typo when copying from ibox spec. You can confirm with your seller.
iamthebest666 is one of the sellers on ebay selling box for £99.99.
When I contacted him he quoted £90 for 1 box if I pay via bank transfer so it doesn't seem that good of a price.
aliexpress.com/store/112376 airsat store prices do not look that great anymore these zgemma boxes are looking bit overpriced plus dropping the flash size is poor move.

The Manufacturer are stating on there forum that the zgemma boxes are the specs above, if thats not what they are selling to the uk then the product is misleading.
256mb Flash is not alot when you start adding plugins and picons soon be down low.

A lot of the UK sellers are copy/pasting the ibox specs thinking they are the same thing with new name.
I agree 256mb is not a lot but then when you look at original boxes (these ZGemma are not clones according to AirSat) even the so called mighty VU+ boxes excluding the two top end ones (Ulitmo £450+, Duo2 £320+) have 256mb or less.

Apologies to anyone I recommended to. I have a long standing relationship with him and a great price by looks of it. So if ur after just 1 maybe not best guy. But for multiple he obviously does good discount and I can vouch for his excellent replace in a day if fault service and 1day delivery.
other than that tho, box themselves are great. Ive tried themore expensive boxs and sold them on as prefer these :)
Ive noticed these seem to be as/more quick as ibox setup identically but dont know enough to know what dropping flash size would do?
