I would want to help translating Polish UI strings (right now they all come from google translate I think). It wouldn't be a big problem and I could do it in few hours (maybe you could use it in this update aswell).

Hi,
Thank Freesat, for your working hard. I would like to remind that other one point problem for V8 Golden about CA card reader, as I ever posted in few month ago, it often unknown card message. Could you please recheck this point before release?

Hope this box be the best sat-box... cheer

What I see is new UI of EPG. But UI is not so important as bug fixes (EPG also is full of bugs in older versions). What happens with bugs found in previous versions of firmware? Are they fixed? What happens with freezing?
Nothing is written about serious problems!

"I've got problems with EPG. On many channels EPG data that is shown is for another channel. Also almost every time while changing channels up/down "no content" is showing instead of EPG Data. Like in picture in first post...."

"After I have updated my firmware with the one from 30-09-2016 on my V8 Golden, STB freezes few times. It stays with still picture and remote control is not working. After powering OFF and ON, STB starts working again... Before, this never happens."

15-10-2016
"I have problem with freezing also. But I don't have WiFi connection. I use cable. May be the freezing is related with LAN. The problem is that freesat does not give us any idea or new firmware! Long time ago I sent to freesat message about another problem. They ask me to send a stream. I send it but guess what... nobody download that file for few months and I delete it. The problem was with EPG (mismatched channels and lack of cash) and problem is still existing. I want to by two more STB devices. If somebody knows any STB that is stable and reliable, please tell me."

"Generally, I've got 1 major problem with v8 golden since I bought the device - 7-8 months ago. The problem is with EPG. Obviously cache is very small and only partial info is stored. This needs EPG to be extracted every time and takes a lot of time. Also EPG of many channels is mismatched. I wrote a..."

I think you have bought a faulty set since only you got some many problems, it did happened you know. Easy way is to send it back to where you bought it for a warranty claim. But if the warranty seal is broken, bye-bye just throw it outside.

Generally I have 2 problems (if you read carefully).
1. Problem with freezing (last 2 or 3 firmwares, I dont remember - you can find my posts in forum with short investigation)- MANY customers has same problem - NOT ONLY ME. Just look at forum. Now I use ver 3.31 and I dont have problem with freezing!
2. EPG problems - It is not hardware issue!!! Probably language (I am in Bulgaria and I use Cyrillic ), probably something else...
EPG info is mismatched very often - this is not HW problem. Lack of cache and slow refresh is also not HW problem...

Never mind I'll wait new firmware and if bugs are not fixed... I am going to buy new STB by other manufacturer...

What I think is that finally, your suggestion for throwing it outside is the most expected :(

Hello,

I would also like to share my interest on this concern, I have several legitimate cards but none of them worked on my golden V8, it always say "Unknown Card". The cards I have are active prepaid cards with Irdetto, Nagra3 and videoguard encryption.
I am hoping to use golden V8 for these cards for legit subscription, but if V8 will not work with the card, I hope our hardworking Freesat team can take into consideration of adding keys for these 3 CA encryptions in their next software update. Thank you in advaced.

I'll wait few days before upgrade. I am with very old version, but stable. If Vlad :) says that this version is stable I'll upgrade... I am afraid that in description, nothing is written about bugs fixes.

Sadly I must agree here, I have not seen anything about bug fixes.
I'll pass on this one at this time also till I hear more about bug fixes.

But the LCD-Display shows after a few seconds: ---- and nothing happens. no chance to change the chanel, no reatcion at all. I have to hit the I/O so the V8 restarts....

Seems like engineers have too many different receivers to write software for and have way too many requests for more features and they forget to fix what is already wrong with receivers.

I don't see much life left for the Freesat brand receivers if they continue doing this same thing again and again.
I know some have already become disillusioned when they were so late in coming out with software upgrade this time and now the news of the upgrade is not looking good.
Very sad indeed. :cry:

in the long wait, there may be special
but in reality, nothing , nothing and nothing
it may be time to leave the product of freesat.
very disappointing !!!!!!!
