Local channel numbers.
The number that your provider wants you to have, normally non logical and a pain.

If my memory is OK, I think the lower pic of the V8 Super is the model before they changed the logo to "Freesat"
It is a Freesat unit when the branded under "V8".
Here is a posting on that.

There was this posting on fake V7HD Freesat brands.

There is this posting on fake V8 Finders.
