Hey eumesmo I really hope you can get their ear. You would think they'd be ecstatic for free help that would improve their product and make their users happy but wow seems like an uphill battle.

When EPG fixes go away. It shows up and disappears when you switch to another channel.

Good morning friends. I want to first apologize for using an online translator. I dont know English. I have observed in the latter firmware for V8 Super, as in the previous one, that in the Spanish language, the letter "ñ" and the accented vowels do not appear in the names of the channels or in the EPG. I have also noticed that when updating the channel list, whether doing a complete search or a search by transponder, in the information bar, it no longer indicates what type of encryption the channel has. The symbol "?" Is displayed. I mean when you press the info key on the remote control, on that bar that appears. I repeat, it only happens when updating channels or by complete search or by transponder. I have dissec 1.0 post with two antennas, Astra 19.2 and Hispasat 30.0. With three ccam lines, I'm very stable, although changing channels slows the image for a few seconds. Otherwise, it seems a very good device considering its price.

Please, I beg the creators of the firmware to reply me at least to have cost that they are going to work on these little problems. I am willing to help with all the tests that are necessary.

Greetings.

I got a problem with EPG. It always give the EPG of the current show mixed up with some other program.

Image

Here the current program name is "The Courier" It shows as "The Courierunniest Videos" mixed up with another program in another channel "Americas Funniest Videos"

Why this happens & how to correct?

I want to know, you upgrade new firmware with all code or not? If you upgrade with Main code may be some effects of program. I ever found some effects when upgrade with main code.

I have this problem since I've got the device - more that 1 year. I have reported this to Freesat many, many, many times.
Also, EPG style 2 is not working.

Meanwhile, I can report than 2 days after upgrading with last firmware, device is not freezing. This is a kind of miracle or I hope, finally the problem is solved.

Today I was watching a weak signal channel and then went to "Favorites" and got all 32 favorites on the list when I only have 9.
This favorites list then locked and the only remote button that worked was the power off button.

I have noted that when you are on a weak signal channel and you are getting a break up of the picture, that is when freezes occur, then or shortly after.
I suspect that memory allocated for other functions, like favorites lists, are being over written during the picture break up video processing.

A new TP on Eutelsat 172A @ 172e does not blind scan on the V8 Golden.
NBC/Kundu 2 PNG on 4196 H 1416
I can add a manual TP and scan it in.
When you change to this channel the V8 Golden reports "No Signal".
To watch it you need to change to Hope channel and back to make the Golden "SEE" it.
The signal level is very high so that is not the problem.

Edited to add 45000 sr.
Also TP's with 45000 often do not blind scan from Intelsat18 @180e ku band.
Could this problem be that the blind scan is not looking at a full range of symbol rates?

Do you mean that if the price was $40 - device could not work??? 10 or 50, when you are selling something it should work! Otherwise you MUST write in product description: 1. EPG is not woking; 2. Device is freezing from time to time (almost any time :) ), 3. We don't promise fixing anything!

And... yes, now it it looks like device is not freezing. But still is my 3rd option of STB. If EPG start working - 2nd place will be OK. :)))

Good afternoon. I want to thank the creators of the firmware for their efforts to offer us the improvements little by little. I think it seems right that we make constructive criticism. What you can not afford is the ways and attitude of colleagues when making comments. If somebody does not like the work that the creators, they buy another decoder. Nothing is eternal. They do their work in a way and at their own pace. But the demands are not right forms. That's what I think and that's what I said.

In this latest firmware, I have six active ccam lines and I have not had any decoder lock. I see without problems and without micro-cuts all the channels that I need. What else can I ask for?

Greetings.

Hi all

I can confirm following problems:

- EPG does not show special characters from spanish language like ñ , á, ú or é
- EPG mixes program name from previous watched channel with current channel
- Since updated to the latest firmware (24/03/2017) on some High Definition channles of the spanish provider Movistar on Astra 19,2º cccam is not working. It says Waiting for CW when checking the server status. On some other High Definition channles from the same provider on the same satelite it works fine.
- Still a little delay of ms between image and sound (image first) on spanish provider Movistar on Astra 19,2º.
- DLNA and online video crashes every time I use them. Sometimes it takes some times and other times it happens quite fast.

Living in Spain, support also in German.
