Freesat V7 HD display problem

Post by Marambi »

Helo Freesat team
My decoder Freesat V7 HD got a power supply fault which was fixed but it doesn't show the display screen.
What could be the problem?

Maybe your V8 is in PAL mode and your TV is NTSC.

Try this.
Added fast key to switch video output mode or format.
we try to support some old TV or some signal mode TV
Press menu key to main menu.(Panel show "----")
press Green key to switch NTSC/PAL, the panel will show "PAL " or "NTSC"
Press Stop key to switch the video format
PAL mode : the panel will show "576I" -- "576P" -- "720P"(50HZ) --"1080I"(50HZ) --"1080P"(50HZ)
NTSC mode : the panel will show "480I" -- "480P" -- "720P"(60HZ) --"1080I"(60HZ) --"1080P"(60HZ)
I found this on the green button thing here

If that does not work Try a flash.bin forced software change.

Place a copy of the unpacked software (the .bin file) on a USB stick and rename it "flash.bin"
With the USB in the unit, power on while repeat pressing "Menu" on the remote. You must use the V7 remote on the V7.
The unit should reload the software.

It is damaged by electric shock and it seems the spare parts are not available in my country.
I'm thinking of buying a new one

If you cannot change channel
and it's frozen, you have to reinstall the software.
You can use a :
USB To RS 232 cable and the TCOM software for flashing(Burning)
This flashing software you can download here from Freesat.

First you can try the flash.bin method.

I noticed on my new receiver when I updated firmware it doesn't work with HDMI until I go to the menu and change it to HDMI and take it away from Auto

If you get stuck and can not see the picture to get to the menu there is a Green button method they added to change from NTSC to Pal etc.
Added fast key to switch video output mode or format.
