GT Media V8 Finder 2 DB Editor

Post by kladovchk »

Is there a database editor for GT Media V8 Finder 2? How can satellites (transponders) be edited?

Maybe they need to add the finder 2 to the list of options for unit to make it work.

I think the editor checks what box it is from.

There was an older editor for the .bins before this one.
Try that.

My unit is stuck in transit due to over load of the shipping in NZ.

Do you have the latest download for the V7 V8 editor?
It was updated for the finder pro.

Try to open this file? I can't do it? The software is the last one. Do you have a file from which device? The satellite database shows that GT Media V8 Finder 2 is not.

This config. is for V8 Finder Pro, not for Finder 2: probably GT Media leaves upgrade for it in the next weeks.

The Finder 2 has an important limit on the stored channels: few more than 1400 TV channels, from two satellites, not so much.

The channel list is empty, you must do a blind search first and then dump to a USB

Hi, recently I bought GT Media V8Finder2, dump files GTMedia_V8FINDER2.bin _DB and GTMedia_V8FINDER2_DB_SystemData.bin do not open in any way in DBEditor.exe, at least that's what I found.

In the end choosing V7S2X or V7S5X works!

Thank you so much, kladovchk.

You can also open the GTMedia_V8FINDER2_DB and GTMedia_V8FinderMax_DB files by selecting V8 Pro 2.
