User manual

[andymac123]

Hi folks!
I'm Andy, just joined.
I've been given a DVB-S2 (v7) I think) got it up and running through trial and error, but really need a full user manual as the only one I can find on here is not much more than a quick guide on what the various handset buttons do, and basic connections, but nothing on actually all the ins and outs of using it, such as saving favourite channels etc. Can any of you fine people post a link to a proper manual to download?
Cheers for your help.
Andy.

P.D.

Im not sure but that packing box looks suspicious. Make sure you have an original GT media box and not a clone.

Hi.
OK, really struggling with this, You say it doesn't look like a genuine GT Media box, Well that maybe true, but I'm sure the previous owner bought it in good faith, but how do I determine if it's a 'fake' or genuine?
Apart from your doubts the unit seems to work perfectly well and the only issue I have is how to save favourites and such basic things, without the operator manual I have no idea how to do this. I can get to where I think this should be done where it displays 5 buttons, which seem to refer to the 4 coloured buttons on the remote, but the fifth button is shown in grey, and there is no grey button.
I downloaded the 'manual in your download section, but this doesn't seem to cover these points, so there must be a more comprehensive version somewhere?
Thanks.
A very frustrated. Andy.

What looks like it does not belong to the GT Media is the packaging box. Maybe the V7S is original. Go here and read some basic functions:

Thanks for your reply, but the links you posted are for V8 not V7S.

Thanks for your reply, but the links you posted are for V8 not V7S.

Just follow basic commands. V7s and V8 are pretty similar.
