The timeship is for watching the video, it depends on the time you set it, you can remove it when you want

The finder2 software is here, including many older versions.
You can go back using the forced recovery method.

The 3.5mm AV cables for GT Media units needs to be a long plug.

If you only have shorty one, try connecting the video to the red plug.

Check the video output setting for the finder2 as it may be PAL when your capture cards need NTSC.
PAL is GT Media default.

hi

There is the BLight button on the finder. This turns off the screen back light and the AV output.

Can you confirm that you have a AV 3.5mm cable that is 18mm long as per this pic?
