GT Media V8 Finder 2 - Save preferred Sat and Transponder

[Mike G Aus]

First time user here. I've read the Manual and watched the video, but I still can't find a way to save the only Satellite I want to use.

EVERY time I switch power on, I have to step through all the Satellites to get up to the only one I'm interested in at 156 E. It still shows with a Tick in the list from the last time I used it

When I change to Installation, or Spectrum or Calculate, I again have to step through all the Satellites.

Is there a way to save the Satellite (it does show with tick) and Transponder (it does show with tick) so I can recall them quickly.

To be User-friendly, I assumed it would just start up set to the last Sat and Transp I used when I turned it off.

Thanks

got it.
we will check and fix it.
And do you have any other issues？

[Mike G Aus]

Thanks for the quick response.

When I get to use it to line up on the actual Sat. I most probably will have more questions !

The S/W version is V4.2.84.9.455

If it can't remember the Sat to start up on it, I thought I would be able to directly to that Sat by using the keypad to type in its number in the list.

You can delete all the other sats you do not use and leave only the few you want.
If you require them back in the future you can add and blind scan them in.

It does take some time to delete them, but it helps a lot.

Hi Feralkiwi

Thanks for making a helpful suggestion on how to get around the user-unfriendly design of this instrument.

I thought by buying Version 2, I would get an instrument where they have eliminated the bugs from the first release.

I can't believe that an installer working in our part of the world has to waste minutes, EVERY TIME HE WANTS TO ALIGN OR CHECK AN INSTALLATION, by having to scroll down through all the satellites to get to ones at 152E or 156E !

Since it hasn't been done by now, I guess I can give up all hope of it being fixed in the next software update.

I guess Tom.w actually works for GT Media, so it's disappointing there has been no further response from him
