Anyway like Rambo told you
If short or overload shows on the finder screen these are the possibilities:
1) If no wire/cable is connected to the finder.
---> metal dust or debris on the female F connector of the finder.
---> Unit defective or tuner blown
---> software issues.
2) If coaxial cable is connected
---> short on the cable (metallic mesh is touching the central core) on either side
---> water or moist inside the connectors
---> LNB bad
Solutions
For "dirty" F connector on finder
Use a nail brush and clean the connector.
Insert a small pin inside the middle and clean it
Pass the brush again
Software issues
do a flash of the unit at the latest firmware. If you do not know there are plenty of threads on how to do it. Just search the site
short on the cable
using a tester (multimeter) check for short
water or moist inside the connectors
Same as above, but will give you some impedance.
LNB bad
I doubt it. Unless you sent 24 Volts or more. Or either exposed to lightning storms
Unit defective or tuner blown
Unless you plug in and out the coaxial cable while the unit was ON, this device is sturdy. It should not have any issues
If it does, if is new you need to contact your seller. Or send back to factory for repair
Goof Luck

Re: freesat v8 finder
I had the same trouble with my Finder on the latest Firmware. Continous over-load error. I was hardly able to move through the menu. I rolled back to a firmware from april I think, works again like a treat.

Re: freesat v8 finder
When I last installed the firmware on 04.09.2018, an overload error occurred. When I installed an old Firmware, my problem improved.
