Hi All
I am wondering if you folks might be able to steer me in the right direction. Following the excellent advice of the people on this forum, several years back I got set up with a two-box set up as follows:
- both boxes are Zgemma H2S's. One is used by a more technical person and one is used by a complete technophobe. The slightly more technical person often has to explain by phone how to turn on a specific channel etc. This is an important point because now I am, I think, at the end of the road with both H2S's and will therefore need to replace them both.
The reason I think I need to replace both is:
- the CCCam lines on both boxes are now unreliable. Is there any such thing as a CCCam line that is worth trying nowadays?
- the iptv set-up on one of the boxes has stopped working and is not fixable (provider)
If it was just a box for me (slightly technical), I'd be happy with an iptv-only set-up on a firestick. However, it is not as simple as that.... The android menu interfaces are a bit more complex than the traditional sly style EPG which are on the H2S's (running wooshbuild). Explaining how to use an android (incl. firestick) menu to find a channel over the phone sounds like a challenge at best.
The simplest solution was always the old fashioned CCCam set-up, when all I needed to say was 'press number 2-5-2' or whatever.
So.... I suppose in a nutshell, this is my problem. We have a satellite dish and also a standard terrestrial aerial feed coming to both tv's, along of course with internet. Ideally, if there is some set-up (cccam, and/or iptv, and/or mag box type) that is easy and effective (e.g. has access to all channels and they can be accessed ideally via 'press 2-5-2') I would be very grateful if you might point me in the right direction.
If there is something that combines terrestrial (southern ireland) aerial feed, with satellite feed, with internet feed, into one easy to use interface that would be amazing. I have read a lot of threads on the forum recently and find I am getting more confused than anything else.
I have tried the firestick iptv approach and that is absolutely fine for me personally, but won't work for the second (technophobe) tv. Would be grateful for any advice folks; thanks.
Oh and by the way, our internet connections are not amazingly fast so we definitely do not need 4k quality, dont need HD quality, dont need UHD quality, or any of that. We just need basic quality that is watchable and does not lag or chop or breakdown.
