I loaded the new 14/2/2019 firmware on my V8 Nova ,now I can't reload my user data & all of my North America satellites . I tried a factory reset & reboot no luck. I never had any trouble with the earlier firmware loading.I tried to reload the firmware it wouldn't let me .I need a Firmware Fix.
Thanx Freesat Team

My V8 Nova Orange did the same thing, it refused to load the NA satkey file that I saved onto USB prior to the firmware update.
So I installed the original NA Camkey file that is dated from November (it accepted that file) and so far everything i've had before seems to be rolling.
Beers to you!

Re: V8 NOVA Firmware 14/2/2019
There was an issue like this with the early versions.
Freesat changed the file format of the user file some time back, 21 June 2018.
They added 16 hex values to each sat / channel.
If you updated from an old software on or before this date to the latest this will be why.
If you downgrade your unit to early June 2018, reload you user data, upgrade to July 2018 using the "Main code" method and then save your user data again, it will be in the new format and you can reload it after upgrading to the latest software.
