Re: V7S2X Built in PVU?

According to the mods here the GTmedia Receivers that get regular firmware updates all have a keys list included in the updates and the V7S2X should follow that also and you should do a full firmware installation (not just software). If you look at the instructions for firmware updates they all stil...

Re: High noise level in analogic audio signal

Feralkiwi is correct, there are about 3 or 4 different length AV pins out there you will find online and at stores and only one will work correctly on both audio and video.

They sell the ones for GTmedia products here - https://www.gtmedia.shop/collections/accessories-417

Good Luck!

Re: USB WIFI extender

I would get a set of ethernet through power outlet extenders. A common myth is that they won't go through circuit breakers but that is not true and you can install multiple units around the home (living room, kitchen, bedrooms, etc) Some of the receivers do both Wifi and have an ethernet outlet for ...

Re: V7 S2X Signal Problem

Do what Tom W. said to verify your new receiver and LNB settings are the same as on your old receiver. If you find the receivers settings are not the issue I would go check the dish. Since its been some time since the old receiver failed then It is possible that over that period the dish has been bu...

Re: SES 103 in the Caribbean

Yes they are weaker but a 12ft dish should get them easily if tuned. I would go to the (dishpointer dot com) website and put in your location and SES-103 and scroll down and it will show you the exact dish elevation, azimuth, LNB skew, etc for your dish from your location so you can check and adjust...

Re: V8 UHD Video Resolution

As I said before, while it could be an isolated V8UHD having a problem but for some having issues it can also be your TV or HDMI cable. Older 4k TV's that are a few years old started out with HDMI 1.0 and they max out at about 4k 30hz and some cheap HDMI cables are only rated at 4k @ 30hz. The new 4...

Re: gtmedia v8x se bloqueaa

Two firmware updates (255 and 257) can be found here for V8X - viewtopic.php?f=40&t=18373

Might try saving your Satellites, etc. and then doing a factory reset and then try the 255 and see if it works.

Re: Network Sharing of Recordings SOLVED!!!!!

I don't see where you mention which USB switch you are using but I've been using a Sabrent model HB-UMLS on my V8 Orange for a couple years and its a great switch for recording through and I even load firmware updates through it, has 4 ports controlled by push buttons that light up when activated.

Re: 34.5W

34.5° W - Intelsat 903 - That TP you mention is actually 4132 R 30000 so you must either have a circular LNB or you can use a Linear LNBF and install the Dialectic plate and that will change it to get the circular signals L and R. (There is no 4132 H 30000 TP on that satellite). V or H uses Linear s...

Re: V7 Plus H265

It can be confusing depending on where you live, if you bought yours from someone in Europe then he probably does get H265 but it is likely HDTV.

In Europe they have H265 that is HDTV

In North America (Canada, US, Mexico) H264 is HDTV and H265 is UHDTV.

Re: 127w question

127w - 4160 V 30000 is encrypted with Digicypher2 so you may want to remove that from that Satellites TP list and then try to rescan the other TP's - Not sure why that would make your Receiver lock up but removing it from the list should let it finish the scan. FYI - Those two channels - (AXS Tv and...

DLNA is what allows computers to talk back and forth to each other (transmit data) over the internet or ethernet or Wifi (computer to computer).

Re: Receiver V7tt rebooting continuously

Is it sitting on carpeting or something were the bottom ventilation holes could be blocked or is it sitting over other electronics like a Stereo Receiver or over the TV that create heat? Constant rebooting can be caused by overheating.

Re: Receiver V7tt rebooting continuously

Have you tried disconnecting everything except electrical? Disconnect (Coax, HDMI, USB, etc) that you have plugged in and see if it stops rebooting, if that happens then try plugging in one item at a time to find the problem, sounds like something is shorting out.

Re: V8 UHD Video Resolution

It could be the HDMI cable or it could be your TV. Some HDMI cables that claim they are 4k are poorly/cheaply made don't do UHDTV reliably at a good refresh rate like 60HZ or 120HZ. Also how old is your TV? If it is an early 4k model then its possible it only does HDMI 1.2 and only does 4k in 50hz r...
