Re: dead V7 hd and V7 Max
Are you using the said receivers with a motor, you may have to reinput your LAT / LONG, then go to the last position (sat) you were no.
This may solve the issue.

Re: dead V7 hd and V7 Max
Are you upgrading via the PC app?
I loaded the new V8 Golden software and still get A F N of NSS9@177w.
I upgraded using the "Main Code" option. This saves reloading your Softcam.key and user data but misses the factory reset function that the "All Code" option does.
As for no signal from NSS9 for A F N, do you still see the MTN and Hope channels?
Check you antenna setting for LNB frequency etc as well.
If you saved (USB Back up) your user data, you can reload that data and the same settings and channel should be there.
You can load the same user data file into the V7HD as the V7 Max.

Re: dead V7 hd and V7 Max
Not using a motor yet If I do will use a separate motor control, I know this is old fashon but if you reciever stops working you can still use another unit and still change from sat to sat.
Also i used the PC method I hoped I followed the instructions so and I used set top puter even made a usb cable. When I finished I checked in 'tools' to see if it upgraded had to load in NSS 9 and no signal at all.
I used the one in the Garage(where the antenna is) to power up the lnb and watch tv when when working on my projects I miss the American Sports I grew up in the states now here for about 35 years total.
The recievers woulden't upgrade this time with a USB stick. They said they were burning in the new program but when checking in tools to see the date of the upgrade still was the old date, now the upgrade is in the box but no signal at all
Thanks for the info STRETCH and Feralkiwi

Re: dead V7 hd and V7 Max
When you USB upgraded, did you select the correct software file?
I rename my files after I unpack them.
"Freesat_v7_hd.bin" renames to "Freesat_v7_hd20181102.bin"
With the Newer names being long, you can not see the version date so I now cut the GTMedia part off.
"GTMedia_V7Plus.bin" renamed to "V7Plus20181029.bin"
This way you can see what version you are reloading from USB.
