No the V8 Golden uses a different list format. The V8 Finder runs V7 unit software.
You can enter a V7HD list OK.
There may be V7 lists on this site you can use.

Thank Owen and Cpr43 for your suggestion.
Got another question it look like the satellite finder v8 cannot use for adjusting Dishnetwork Dish,because dishnetwork use Turbo-8psk.
Is this hardware or software problem that satellite finder v8 cannot do Turbo-8psk.

The V8 finder has a hardware fault.
Its power supply has a 22kHz ripple that blocks all 22kHz tone DiSEqC commands etc.
The V8 Finder acts like the 22kHz tone always "ON".
