Hi, please bear with me.
I've seen so much recently about ZGemma boxes I've decided to get one myself.
BUt what do I do with it when I get it?
I'm a maint. elect. of 40 years experience, repair allsorts mechanically, pneumatically and electrically, program PL7 PLC's but when it comes to reading about these boxes it's right over my head !
They seem so so technical and difficult it's like trying to read another language !
I thought of buying a programmed box off E*** but have read I'm throwing money away and if I buy a box and prog. it up myself.....I'll save £100 !
So, when I get one and open the box,.......... what do I do with it????
Do i plug it in and off I go?
Do I need to flash it with any software?
If so where do I get this software from?
Do I need a fast internet connection?
Has it to be wired or wireless?
If this post is in the wrong forum or mentioning things it shouldn't please forgive me.
Please reply here or feel free to private message me
Just wanted to thank you to everyone for this. Like the OP, i'm new to all this and found all (ok most) of this advice spot on.
My only question is how do I get a "line"? Is this like a sky subscription? I want to get set up ready for f1 in March...
Thanks again all.

HiKodi is a media centre that you can stick dodgy add ons on to access stuff like films and TV shows and, yes, live streams, though it's a bit naff for that. You do need good internet for streaming, yes. But you can't put full Kodi on a Zgemma, just a rubbish version that doesn't really work and looks nothing like full Kodi.
People have two for all manner of reasons - having the channels in more than one room, having ability to record four channels as you say, suppose some will have a second dish for European satellites attached to another box perhaps.
