Freesat V8 Super Get Stuck

Post by elcheca1 »

days ago something had happened to me with v8 nova was stuck, but the most recent update solved everything, but I have already a year and a half with my Super v8 and a few months ago when changing channels it gets stuck and I have to disconnect it from the connector , I have come to think that all this that happens that they are stuck is a matter of updating, I do not know when they are going to decide to have something more stable, I think that when the v8 version comes out Nova will no longer appear more models updates old and it would be a pity if they stopped supporting those old equipment

The V8 Super get stuck when you are zapping channels very fast.

If you wait till the V8 grab properly the channel, you won't see the V8 stuck.

but that should not happen I think that could be resorved easily, should get an update so that does not happen because it is very annoying when that happens

If they continue like this with those bugs, I don't think it's good for them in sales

Do you change the channel "too fast", it does happen to me. So is telling me that the processor is slower than you finger :roll:

That's right, the processor is the problem

I find if the signal is weak, the processor is busy correcting errors. This is even more so with HD channels.
I have had channel changes wait for a few seconds before changing channel when this happens, as if the processor is stuck correcting errors and has not seen the channel change command.
I also have had crashes with this.

There is an option inside the menu to set the box to change channels slower to avoid that. Also, make sure the box is ventilate, some models used to get stuck when playing HD channels while they get hot.

Menu
System
Other Settings
Open Channel Mode (change to open video slower)
