V8 UHD

Some IPTV transmissions are not displayed and the message is displayed on the screen: "Video codec not supported".

Please implement the necessary codecs in the next firmware. Thank you.

It may be a LNB over current protection thing.

The start up power for your 8 output LNB may be more than the unit is designed to provide, just the power spike at power on of the LNB power.

I had issues like this with the older V8 Golden.
After users reported using a 2A 12V power supply instead of the 1.5A supply that comes with these unit, I also tested my V8 Golden.
With the 2A power supply most of the LNB over current issues were gone.

I suggest you test with a 2A 12V power supply.

The start up power for the unit is high. The CPU is running full time booting, any wifi is being tested, any USB is also powered up.
You may also test powering on with no USB plugged in, as that may drop the power load enough to stop the voltage drop on the LNB causing an over current.

Salve ho trovato un alimentatore di un altro decoder 12v 3A e il problema sembra risolto.
Per curiosità ho provato con un tester l'alimentatore originale e rilevo 11,5v ho due decoder v8x e l'altro alimentatore del secondo decoder misuro 12,11-12,14

Hi I found a power supply from another 12v 3A decoder and the problem seems solved.
Out of curiosity I tested the original power supply with a tester and I detect 11.5v I have two v8x decoders and the other power supply of the second decoder I measure 12.11-12.14

Yes that low voltage may have been the issue.

Check that you are not pointing the remote "Up" from below the UHD box, like the UHD is high on a shelf. If the UHD is high, tilt it forward.
Also check that the UHD is facing out, not on an angle.
Check that there is not another source of IR in the room. Micro floro light bulbs on warm up can emit IR. Another remote with a stuck button transmitting in the room.
Low batteries will still show the IR LED blinking when looked at through a digital camera. Good new batteries will show a brighter flash in the camera.

the uhd is located under the tv together with other equipment that receive their remote control without problems.

the problem of the uhd refers to the need to point it exactly and not like other equipment that even if not pointing perfectly they receive without problems

and as if the receiving or transmitting sensor has poor reception or transmission angles

Hi, there is a bug with the sound volume in V8X, compared with my old V8 Nova, the volume is too low, even if I rise the volume to the maximum

There are two formats of audio output in the menu options, try the other one.

Normally it is in the AV settings.

I will power up my unit and check.

I also pointed out this problem a few months ago. Switching the audio format on my V8X has no effect on the volume.
The second problem is the very poor performance of the remote. I have to aim really precisely at the sensor.

With the remote, if your set top box is higher than the remote try tilting the box so it looks down.

Hi all,
I have a strange problem with the decoder V8UHD,
with vlc channels streaming (channels saved on the decoder and exported with the .m3u file) after a few seconds of correct playback the system freezes with messages of LAN disconnected (see video).
on the other hand, with wifi everything works fine.
do you have any ideas?

On YouTube, any video that I try to play freezes the equipment and I must disconnect it from the electrical outlet. With the IKS it has faults as if the internet connection is lost, the image freezes and after a while it settles down.

i will check the youtube with your country code.
about the IKS,i think it may be the cline server issue.

I have reinstalled the latest firmware version of my v8x and the problem with YouTube has been solved. I will try again the iks with this reinstallation to see how it goes.

Hi, as no one reacted on my post I share the issue here. The German Sky channels on Astra 19 do not work properly, most of them stay dark since few days, before everything was fine, any solutions for that?

Found the reason: crypting system changed to 3DES / AES (before DES). Can’t be encrypted anymore, at least for now

V8X

El sonido en comparación con mi antiguo V8Nova es muy bajo, lo subo del todo con el mando a distancia, pero aún así es muy bajo, comparado con n la TDT, en el V8 nova podíamos subir el volumen mucho más, creo que debería haber una actualización de firmware que lo solucione.

all problems found by now on the v8 uhd receiver

gtmedia v8 uhd issues:

microfreeze images in combo channels and on some satellite channels too

sometimes remote control delay reaction

subtitles center-middle position, they are not posicionated center down

the function epg doesn´t work in 95% channels (61w, 70w, 81w), in v7 plus works perfectly

when you remane (change the name) of a favourite list, then you can´t use it in sat>ip app in that category of favourite you make

when you play an usb video you can´t fast or rewand visually the image (you dont know in witch part of the movie you are)

legend speed when you plug usb device "device speed too low to record"

sometimes legend volume stays on screen and you must buttom exit to close


I hope you can fix most of these notorious issues in the upcoming firmware, thank you very much!
