GTMedia V8 NOVA issues
Hi everyone.
I received this new STB last friday, and after a couple of tests there are some issues I detected.
First of all, I have 3 LNB pointed to Astra 19E, Hotbird 13E and Hispasat 30W with a Diseqc 1.1 and works fine.
I made a blind search in every satellite, and works fine except in Hotbird, where got stuck in this TP:
Nothing respond and I have to power off the STB to continue. At least, the channels and TPs scanned were saved in memory.
There is a big problem with Spanish chars in EPG and channel names. Here's an example:
As you can see, the chars are hidden (not incorrect chars are shown). If you don't what char is supposed to be, they are:
ESPAA --> ESPAÑA
Frmula --> Fórmula
espectculo --> espectáculo
ms --> más
In channel names:
FBOL --> FÚTBOL
BAR --> BARÇA
In this case, the char and the next one, are hidden (2 hidden chars instead of 1)
In channels from another countrys, the special chars are shown correctly:
Poland chars
The interface spanish translation has some errors like this:
Cerca?? WTF??
The worst problem for me is that does'nt recognize my 2Tb NTFS HDD.
As you can see, it detects that an USB device is connected but shown this information:
So I can't explore its files and I can't use it to record.
The same HDD works excelent in my old Engel RS4800S and my PC, so I don't think it's bad formatted.
Well, but the STB has some good things for me in comparision with other cheap STB
- It boots faster than my old Engel
- The CCCam emulator works better (some channels open in V8 and not in Engel)
- The recordings can be played in a PC (they are not scrambled)
- The interface has no lag, and responds fast
I'll test more during the week so I'll report more stuff to help this STB be better with new firmware updates.

Re: GTMedia V8 NOVA issues
I think your HDD needs to be formated to FAT 32 before it will work with the V8 Nova, there are many other problems with the new V8 Nova but as with any new receiver there are going to be problems that will need software updates to fix, that's just the way it is, I hope we get some updates soon to fix some of the problems.chector wrote:Hi everyone.

Re: GTMedia V8 NOVA issues
The Spanish characters have a fix with the help of "Jose Lopez" for the V8 Super and Golden, so I expect the same wiil happen for the Nova with the next update.

Thank you very much, the language of the proposed letter is wrong, we will solve it as soon as possible.

Re: GTMedia V8 NOVA issues
Hi again and thanks for the replies.
Some new issues I detected:
If I change this value, when I come back to the same menu, always shows the default value, instead of my last change.
Can someone can explain me what really means the Power On mode option?
BTW, the Panel LED Brigth option really change that? In my opinion, with the 5 different options, the bright is the same...
I haven't see differences by enabling or disabling the TS Delay...
With German channels (19.2E), I have the same micro-freezes with both options
I have other questions:
- Has the V8 NOVA a web service to input the softcam lines or to input the IPTV urls?
- I haven't seen an option to export the file with the keys (softcam.key?) neither to export the IPTV list.
- The SAT>IP service has to be enabled every time I power On the STB.
- Is there a mobile app to use the SAT>IP protocol as a remote control by LAN? (Engel 4800 Mini uses the URC app and works fine in Android < 7.0 version)
Thanks to all!

Re: GTMedia V8 NOVA issues
On testing this receiver, i noticed the following:
1. It could not scan more than 67% channels on Nilesat 7W. As it kept freezing and had to reboot it every time. i tried.
2. The receiver failed to scan HEVC.265 channels on Badr 26E such as 11919V despite the claim that it supportsH265.
3. I failed to manually in put Biss keys as the menu was hidden.What is the code?

Re: GTMedia V8 NOVA issues
Hello
this new STB supports MIS (Multi Stream support), for example satellite Eutelsat 5 West A (5.0 ° W) French and Italian channels.
Thank you

Re: GTMedia V8 NOVA issues
Also I would like to know if my HD 500GB in NTFS will be recognized by what I bought and I am waiting to get ... I would use it for recordings of HD channels C band on 70w.chector wrote: The worst problem for me is that does'nt recognize my 2Tb NTFS HDD.
