Re: Does not start
Try a 1gb or less USB drive, the receiver does not like a USB over 2gb and some of them will not work.tvsatelite wrote: ↑Sun Oct 11, 2020 12:15 pmGreetings,

Re: Does not start
What is the procedure for flashing this tuner ??
Re: Does not start
There are many user guides here on the download page.
flash.bin recovery is here.
For normal updating use the menu option USB Upgrade and you softcam.key file from the conditional access menu "Export".
Save your user file and any Ccam info you have as well

Re: Does not start
Here are my notes on flash.bin recovery
Also after a software install the unit will be in PAL TV mode, not NTSC.
The newer model remotes have a "TVMode" button to press to change the mode.
Older model GT Media units have this green button function to change from PAL to NTSC blind.
flash.bin recovery is done like this.
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.
The unit should reload the software.
Also other users say that you must use a USB stick, not a card holder etc and that stick must be 32Gb or under.
Use the rear USB port on units that have two ports.
I have had units that will not recover.
Try using the same software as was in the unit when it crashed, not the new update software.
You must use the correct software, ie that for the V7HD for the V7HD etc, not software for any other freesat units.
Try even older software as the file for flash.bin.
Look at the LED in the USB stick. When the TV shows the message "USB Upgrade, do not turn off" you should see the LED on the USB flash as the file is loaded.
The USB LED should also flash a few times as the unit first powers on and looks at it.
Also users have said to use the rear USB port for this on V8 units.
Good luck

Re: Does not start
Check that your remote is working by looking at the IR LED in the end through a digital camera.
You should see it flashing when you press a button.
Note please you press the "Menu" button when doing a flash.bin recovery, not the "Mode" as you said above.
The mode button is for changing the TV mode after you update.
