Re: help Nova update Danish language

Post by camunz »

Can I in any way add Danish language to my new V8 Nova orange box, or can I use my software for the old V8 Super instead. I have done translate before at old openbox S9 / 10 and also at the V8 Super, but I for sure need a tool or some help to do it with this V8 Nova box.

Other users have worked with Freesat to add their language.

Contact them by email as listed on Freesat's www.freesat.cc web site.

How do you know it's in sleep mode?????, I am thinking you are stuck in PAL mode, it needs to be in NTSC mode for your TV, I don't have this receiver so I don't know how to help you change it to NTSC, other members mite be able to help you with that.

If by "Sleep Mode" you mean that it boots and then go into standby so you need to press power on the remote to start, then there is an option in the other menu that allow you to set it to enter "Aplication" mode on power on.

If you mean the unit is power on and the display shows a channel number then as iq180 says you may be in PAL tv mode, which is the default after update.
There is this green button function.
Added fast key to switch video output mode or format.
we try to support some old TV or some signal mode TV
Press menu key to main menu.(Panel show "----")
press Green key to switch NTSC/PAL, the panel will show "PAL " or "NTSC"
Press Stop key to switch the video format
PAL mode : the panel will show "576I" -- "576P" -- "720P"(50HZ) --"1080I"(50HZ) --"1080P"(50HZ)
NTSC mode : the panel will show "480I" -- "480P" -- "720P"(60HZ) --"1080I"(60HZ) --"1080P"(60HZ)
If by "Sleep mode" you mean the unit is totally unresponsive then there is the flash.bin recovery.

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.

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, 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.


As you said that your unit reported " file isn't match with this box" check that you are using the correct software that matches your unit, Orange for Orange, blue for blue etc. Each Freesat unit has its own software,

Good luck
