Freesat V8 Finder

[Santi1951]

Como puedo actualizar mi Freesat V8 finder?
llevo unos dias intentado localizar el Satelite Astra 19.2 y no consigo pasar de 48 de señal y muy poca calidad, no sé si el problema es que el firware es muy antiguo o se a estropeado el Freesat.
gracias amigos

Just check with (dishpointer) that you are pointing the finder in the correct direction.
Also if you can and is safe to do, put the finder along the arm of the dish, you may be getting readings from 21e/16e.

Is this your problem?

Gracias por darme respuesta a el tema, pero mi problema con una antena sin motor, yo quiero sintonizar Astra y por mas que lo intento no paso de 48 % de señal, por eso digo que lo mismo es problema del Freesat que el Firware es del GTMEDIA V8Finder-V71 Firmware （16/04/2019）, que si hay alguno mas reciente para actualizarlo
saludos

It may be easier to connect your receiver to find the satellite you require, then adjust the dish.
A lot of users, have had issues when using these finders.

I use a tone type finder in the LNB cable with the V8 Finder.
Check that you have the Finder on an active TP.
If you have the finder on a band (upper or lower) and polarity (H or V) that has no signals on, you can not then find a signal.

I have in the past used a TV /set top box on a known FTA channel with the sound up and then moved the dish slowly until I heard the channel.
You can do this with the finder too.
Just check you have the correct LNB low frequency set.

Also check your cable is OK.
