If you have a sample of a file in this format send it and I can test it in my GTCombo

Unfortunately, I don't have this file due to this video coding is used on satellite channels. If you would prefer, please test that on 130°E (namely, ChinaSat 6C), the parameter of the transponder is 4180V 30800 https://www.lyngsat.com/ChinaSat-6C.html

I moved my dish to 103e.
I got some broken reception on the HEVC UHD, just enough to see some of the picture. Res 2160
I will try again later with a direct cable to improve reception.
The FTA AVS2 channel reported 0x0 resolution, again I will try again later, but it looked like it did not open.

Hi
Later today the weather cleared and I got both channels, HEVC and AVS2 open and fully clear.
130 east 4180 V 30800.

Yes the GT Combo does open AVS2.
Both are 2160 resolution.
The VS2 reports on the info banner as unknown video type.
Both opened with out the need to press the "yellow" button for the other player.

Do you mean the latest firmware has banned the function of decoding avs2?

The channel I got is called in its channel name AVS@ and that and the HEVC channel both look to be test channels for the like of us to test with.
I can only assume the channel is AVS2 as it is called as the channel info says video type unknown.

I will try my V8 UHD on this channel too later.
Edited:
The V8 UHD opens the HEVC OK.
It does not open the AVS2, it sees it as AVS 1080.
I'm sending a TP recording to Tom.w

Hi, Feralkiwi. Are you sure the firmware of your GTcombo is the latest version? Please make sure this version can decode the avs2.

Yes it is the latest version.

With the testing I do I keep up to date.
If it does not open, try changing to it from a H.264 /AAC channel.
Others say power of /on, a reboot after you set the power key to shut down.

I also confirm that the weather does not load, it does search the city name as you type.
