Roll back to your previous version:

Place a copy of the previous software on your USB stick and rename it "flash.bin".
With the usb in your Finder , power on while repeat pressing "Menu" on the remote.
The unit should reload the software.

I tried the 2 solutions proposed above here.
I tried using previous firmware on flash drive and repeatedly pressing Menu button but didn't work.

I also tried pressing the Green button but didn't work.
Attached is the device

flash.bin recovery is done like this.

Place a copy of the unpacked software (the .bin file) on a USB stick and rename it "flash.bin"
With the USB in the unit, power on while repeat pressing "Menu" on the remote. You must use the V7 remote on the V7.
The unit should reload the software.

Also other users say that you must use a USB stick, not a card holder etc and that stick must be 32Gb or under.
Use the rear USB port on units that have two ports.

I have had units that will not recover.
Try using the same software as was in the unit when it crashed, not the new update software.
You must use the correct software, ie that for the V7HD for the V7HD etc, not software for any other freesat units.

Try even older software as the file for flash.bin.

Look at the LED in the USB stick. When the TV shows the message "USB Upgrade, do not turn off" you should see the LED on the USB flash as the file is loaded.
The USB LED should also flash a few times as the unit first powers on and looks at it.
Also users have said to use the rear USB port for this on V8 units.

Good luck

Buenas noches compañeros.

He instalado la versión del 02/11/2018 y funciona al 100%. Ya no entra en reincios continuos al entrar en favoritos. Así que muchas gracias a los creadores y si observo alguna anomalía la comentaré por aquí.

Saludos.

Greetings.

Freesat v8 Firmware updates caused problems

Thank you Sir.

I noticed that I may have described the wrong device to you. The unit I have is the Freesat V8 Finder V-71 HD.
It's the Digital Satellite Finder. Yellow and blue in color.

Does the steps you described work on this types of units.

Yes. you need to use the correct software, each freesat unit has its own.
