Saw this last night, interesting and cheap, nice

While looking around I found this from Satlink.
The full title of the item is

gsky hellobox b1 Satellite Finder Hellobox B1-Bluetooth digital finder vs satlink ws6933 hd 1080p finder freesat v8 finder

Looks like the same software.
Has Satlink Gsky and Freesat names in the title.

I'm truly impressed with all this new equipment I've been in the satellite since the late 1970s used a spectrum analyzer or a TV and receiver by the dish which was very expensive

software has some bugs.
we need to upgrade it because in some west sat it not point correct

The way to fix it maybe copy the app make north america version you have to program
to add transponders on it that's only it's works this way.

Hola tuve un birdog lo vendí compre un sathero,estoy buscando uno que lea la modulación dvb-s2 8psk sin problemas los que tenia quedaron obsoletos
el bt01 trabaja bien esas modulaciones o cual me recomiedan gracias.

that looks awesome and would make finding satellites easier. Let me know how you like it

just watched the You Tube video on the hellobox satellite finder, bloody excellent Only one problemo...I only have an iPhone . Just ordered v8 Finder will post once tested...

Can anyone confirm whether or not this will work on a Samsung Tab A ?

I have one and works well in ku and c bands

Trabaja muy bien en banda c y en banda ku, lo recomiendo.

I found a way bring back freesat v8 finder bt01 back life
if have doesn't work just use deoxsit d5 spray it should work everytime you have take it apart
spray chips inside let dry out for about hour it should work.
