V7 HD firmware ?

Post by raby »

I have a V7 HD , and I can't see any difference between the HD S2X and S5X.
Can I use V7 S2X or V7 S5X to upgrade V7 HD ?

Look closely.

There are 2 V7 HD versions. Old Freesat V7 HD, GTmedia V7 HD

old Freesat V7HD Dvb-S2 H.264 (Discontinued)
New V7 HD/V7 S2X DVB-S / S2 / S2X H.265 (RCA AV output alternate)
V7 S5X DVB-S / S2 / S2X H.265 (Europe Scart video out alternate)

As you can see there are several differences, read, google around)

How is it s2x and does not support h265 ? What am I missing ?

There are different 4K H.265 video versions. There is a difference between 4K and H.265. Not all H.265 is fully 4K. V7S2X will play some of them with lower resolutions but none of the fully 4K. The GTCombo will play 4K fine
