zgemma h7 loopout

Post by beeman8 » Sat Dec 07, 2019 11:39 am

hi I have a zgemma h7 and what I am trying to do is run a second receiver from the loopout of the first receiver but I get no signal on the second receiver is there something you have to turn on for the loopout of the first reciever

The Zgemma h7 don't have a loop out. That is a 2nd tuner! :lol:

Use a switch to connect a 2nd receiver.

I would use a dual port LNBF. Run one coax to receiver 1 and a second coax to receiver 2. This way, both receivers will simultaneously receive both polarities on the same satellite. If this isn`t possible, use a 2-way switch (5 MHz - 2.4 GHz). Designate one receiver as the master and make the second receiver a slave. Turn off the LNB power in the slave receiver. The only downside is the slave can only tune the same polarity as the master, but it will be equivalent to a loop out.

I run a satellite splitter with my Enigma 2 boxes and the good thing is with the web interface I can switch to a channel with the same polarity on my Computer wile downstairs! Most of the time with the Zgemma H7 you can also run DreamDroid in Android to stream the channels over your home wifi network!
