Press and hold the power button.

Then select screen shot.

The pic is then in local disk, pictures/screenshots.

I do not know how you get it out of there?

You can enter the TP info into the TP list and do a auto (manual) scan, just leave the TP that gets stuck off the list.

Try with another power supply as well.

I had the same things happening. In the end my SSD failed to even work on my PC. Cheap SSD and I think is got too hot with being slow formatted Some comments online (Aliexpress) suggest the 2Tb SSD I had was a fake and was only 500Mb. I too tested with the copper cover off for a better plug in. The ...

As the channel you mentioned is already 4.4.2, you can't press green for the other player. If this happens with non 4.2.2 press green, it may help. I also find audio lag and or blank screen is to some extent caused by DiSEqC cascade switching, both 1.0 and 1.1 switches. The unit looks for what type ...

Look at the bite rate figure in the info bar. Bottom left.
With rates over 12Mb/s the unit struggles and 30Mb/s does not show.

Owen

use a USB stick that has a LED that flashes when used so you can see if it is accessed.

Also repeat press the remote button, no constant hold it down.

Good morning ....How can I View CCTV cameras in Finder V8 Pro? Also can I upgrade the software to Pro2 ?

The finder Pro1 only works hd cameras up to 1Mb/s

NO you can not load the V8 Finder Pro2 software into the Pro 1.

These GT Media units use time from the satellite. Some satellites have incorrect time, sometimes GMT or their local position time. Even some TP/s on a satellite can have incorrect time. If you set a recording time and then go to a satellite that has incorrect time in the future, the box will think t...

I noted this too.
I have a static IP but it is the one the modem set, not the option I try.
Maybe there is an option in the modem that will help.

At least it is static and can then be use for things like GT Share.

If you export the softcam.key file to USB you will see the keys there.

Export is in the conditional access menu after you press 6666 to show the hidden menu.
To reload a softcam.key file you must rename it just softcam.key, not export as it is named.

I agree. I see my local satellites failing. First New Zealand's main TV, FTA and pay, sat (Optus D1@160e) got OLD and would not continue working for the very late / delayed replacement due 2023 and now late 2025. They swapped it with OptusD2@152e. They then shed services of that replacement and have...

First the net must be connected. If you start a "Please wait auto Biss" and change channel away from that the auto biss will not restart. To restart auto biss after interrupting it you must power off on. This stops or loading server. To check the net is connected, menu / network / network setup / an...

Do you mean the box has crashed, nothing working, no menu, no start up logo? Did you change to MARS software or are you still using GT Media software? Don't change to Mars software as changing back is VERY difficult. Were the channels Ccam account channels and you have deleted your Ccam details so t...

Hi The V8X does not run apps.

What is it that you find missing?

Hello, on my V7 pro, YouTube opens a channel but after 15 seconds the image stops, is there a way to solve this problem?

I am having the same issue. Did you find the solution?

Try a different net provider, like use your phone as a hot spot.

Owen

Thank you for the detailed help. I have a couple of questions; 1/ which of the two usb sockets is used for updating/ backup. 2/ the wifi aerial is plugged into the rear usb and works ok. is this it's only use. 3/ I assume the front usb is for hard drive / memory stick and updates is this correct. 4...

Don't plug the wrong charger in again, if that was what happened.

I have my 5 volt units flagged with red tape, both on the power plug and the box across the power input.
I once plugged 12v into a 5v HDMI switch and smoked it.
It is a pain when all the units use 5.5mm power plugs.

Good luck.

Owen

If you mean the whole boxes restarts like power off / on, then try another power supply, check the unit is not too hot, remove USB drives. If you mean that a pay TV channel goes scrambled, check the CCam account, try another net provider, like using your phone as a hot spot, check the unit is not to...

1.Software version update
2. Modify known bug

I have also had the IP change one number up each power on, but now mine is static.

I tried to test with wifi, but my modem is too far away now.
Try setting up static while connected to wifi and then return to cable.

Owen

I just tested. I set my IP to static from 192.168.8.65 to 1982.169.1.65 I left the other options in the static setting to default. I powered off with the remote and then removed power. On power up it is still 192.168.1.65 Note when you choose static you need to click on the word static to open the o...
