GTMedia V8X Gubbins

Front, back and the giblets.

And installed today.

A bit quirky (in particular the motor/transponder string) ,but a very good video output and audio in sync.

48 hours later and the receiver appears to have a form of schizophrenia.

When moving between satellites (USALS system) sometimes it will and sometimes not.

I think it is down to how the channels have been stored, a multi satellite search put various transponders in the wrong listings.

Will try to identify the source over the next few evenings though a firmware update might be the first step.

GTMEDIA V8X Firmware (25/03/2025) - GTMEDIA Forum

I currently have V8X, V8 NOVA, V8 UHD, V8 TURBO and V9 Prime.
Above all, do not try to install MARS firmware!
But whatever the firmware, the "normal" versions or the MARS versions, I notice a problem in the management of satellite positions.
For my part, I use diseqc 1.2 for my 36V actuators.
When installing or using, it very often happens that the demodulators lose some or all of the satellite positions.
According to the GTMEDIA forum, the demodulator should be turned off after each new satellite position validation during installation.
But since they can also lose them during use, this is not the solution...

GTmedia V7 S2X DVB-S/S2/S2X VCM ACM multi-stream T2MI Upgrade from GTMEDIA V7SH

This V7 model works great on my dark motor. It moves faster then using my Mutant51. Its the slightly bigger box. Plus the remotes are nice.
