(Inside that folder you should have another folder named ).Ī) Copy the full folder named to a freshly formatted (FAT32) USB key.ģ) Turn off your H7 receiver with the white button at the rear next to power input.Ĥ) Plug in your USB key with the zgemma folder on it (any USB port should be OK).ĥ) Behind the front flap (door panel) you will see a small button to the top left hand side. Also, you need to know these units have a battery in them for the memory backup.1) Download a latest release version of your chosen (favourite) firmware image directly from the developers website.Ģ) When the file has downloaded and been saved to your computer unzip it. It would depend on how recent it has been used. However, there are some fairly new channels that may not be included in your maps.

I'm sure none of the ITC channels have relocated though. It could also have a few channels that were relocated, in there old possition. It should have maps already in it, but with recent changes, you may be missing some channels. If you buy a used 905 with a previous subscription, you should be OK to do what you want. I could be wrong? That's why these units are useless when the battery goes dead, they lose this information and you have to send it off to get it restored. I've never seen a 905, but it being a sidecar and being slaved (I think) to an analog receiver, I don't think it has the satellite maps. On a 920 or 922, the maps also consist of the satellites. The maps are the channels, without them, the 905 will be useless. It won't do for the program guide, because when you lose power (to take it back home) it kills the guide. If you know someone with a C-band dish, you could always take it over and borrow it to update the maps. Maybe if that happens we will be able to start doing this on ku-band, it would certainly ease a lot of headache's. Although a large number of movie channels were recently put on X4, I haven't seen a provider that's providing them yet. As far as I know, it can't be done on ku-band yet. To get maps or get them updated, you will need to go to G1 (G15) channel 3 C-band to do this.

There have been a ton of changes made with-in the last 6 months. If there are some already mapped, chances are you won't have all of them, unless the 905 has been used recently. If the channels aren't already mapped, you can't watch them.

The problem will be getting channel maps and the programming guide. If the 905 has been previously authorized, you will probably be able to get any unencrypted channel or any fixed key channel.
