No more firmware updates?

Post by dvbfta394 »

There are still some bugs and improvements to made to the freesat v7 receivers; why did you stop releasing new firmwares?

some improvementes and fixes that can be added:
  • add support to more wifi chipsets, no only RT5370.
  • support for LAN-USB adapters.
  • iptv support.
  • irdeto support for america satellites.
  • fix diseqc 1.2
  • improve image quality.
if more space is needed youporn app and some languages could be removed.

It refuses to downgrade firmware updates it only allows recent updates - your firmware ruined my Freesat v7 HD.
I have several satellite receivers from different companies the Freesat v7 HD was the best yet after installing firmware updates at a certain level in time it became the worst and not worth using. its ruined it will not show a video channel it once showed - that all the other satellite receivers will show. It was once the most sensitive now the worst.

They say you can downgrade using the RS232 tool.
The V7 Combo has a RS2323 port but the connection for the V7HD is inside the box and needs a special cable.

try to copy the software on a USB and rename it flash.bin
then Press the menu repeatedly while you plug in the power on the receiver
it will say it is updating .
good luck

Your only option is downgrade it through RS232...
[its ruined it will not show a video channel it once showed]
That is not a matter of F / W.
Since the protection current of V7HD is 400 MA, it is supplied to LNB
This is because the protection circuit works due to insufficient current.

[ that all the other satellite receivers will show. ]
Since other models are almost 500MA setting, the picture stabilizes.
It is a problem of basic design of V7HD.

That's right, I agree.

If you need to delete another APP for the required basic function
I think that should be done.

No way of knowing what ruined it just stopped working the same after update finished. Therefore I sent it back after I explained what it did. They took it back and explained - its common occurrence. They sent me something better. They not sell Freesat V7 HD any more. Notice its Freesat V7HD not Freesat V7.
