What is not exported in the user DB as normally saved that you need?

Unless you delete the sats off the sat list they export with the user DB.

I know that. But it is better that you can save the "Preset DB" as in the receiver.

Is it possible to detect the right satelite? How?

On the list of satelite, Dutch channels are on Astra 3B KU E23,50 . it needs to be added inside the list of channels, on the right location between Eutelsat 21B at E21.50 degree and Eutelsat 25B E25.50 degree.

If a satellite is not on the list, you can "ADD" one and then blind scan it in or manually add each TP.

To find if you are "Seeing" the right satellite, try a good known TP that you would expect to see on that satellite, or blind scan it on a temporary or test satellite you have added and look at what channels you have found.

Please create "Preset DB" and "MXL DB" mode in USB Upgrade and USB Backup.
Tom.w, it is possible to add these functions to the software. Thanks.

With the USB recovery, try different USB sticks.
Try repeat pressing the button, not just hold down.

Use the .bin file not the .zip folder.

I bought GT Media V8 Finder 2 but I am not satisfied at all. The first version V8 Finder is better.
V8 Finder 1 usage and setting menus are more advanced.Finder 2 H265 does not recognize TV channels at all, at least it recognizes them as audio in Finder 1.

This will sound odd, why purchase a second finder, when your first finder still finds signals from satellites.
All that a finder is, is a tool to help users set up there receivers, in fining signals so that the dish is set correct.

I have had as much use of my finders as a camping TV.

Fine tuning for H265 with an active picture would be useful.

So you get no TV channels?
Do you see the TP as it does a scan?

What satellite/ channels?
Are they 4k, HEVC, T2MI or multistream?

What model finder2 (3.7v), green or grey (7.2v)?
