GTMedia GTCombo 4:2:2 receiver

[stephan94]

here is the example picture

Understood (this is not to do with the 4:2:2 btw) , though if the transponder is not picked up in the blind scan - for any reason - I would not be able to go search in the manual list (unless I was able to edit an existing transponder in the predefined listings).

 

[stephan94]

but yes,
there are already all the known frequencies in the satellite,
and in addition you can manually enter a new frequency without any problem

with picture

That is the bit which doesn't make sense. I can add a frequency to the table, but once in there I can again only scan the whole satellite, either with 'auto' or 'blind' .

I can't see a single transponder search anywhere, but will look again tomorrow.

blindscan in KA band (with bad LOF, for the moment no possibility to make a manual LOF)
it finds a frequency with an sr of 1053, it's very correct

User LOF is one of the lnb menu additions iv'e asked the GTMedia team for Stephan - it's little things like this that just makes it a little bit more complete. - Keeping fingers crossed.

on 5° West
a frequency with radios and a sr of 667 is read and listened to
Radio Alouette

I just tried to find frequencies that are T2MI.
I don't know if it's because of Android but it's quite complicated
and there are problems; when there are too many T2MI the search goes round and round
and on top of that it searches on all T2MIs, including those on satellites
satellites already stored in memory.
Why is there a particular T2MI list?
Here are two images where this whole process is described
first frequencies are found , after T2MIs are established on each frequency. they are put in the T2MI list, and after each T2MI is worked on to find the programmes( which will be put in the satellite withc is scanned)
But it doesn't work when there are too many T2MI , the searchloops without stopping , it also searches for T2MI that are
already found on other satellites
only solution for this problem :
go to the T2MI list and havethe search done after the other.
example 3771 H 5119 the search is done , the channels found are added to the satellite list ( here 40° East)
finaly after all this research we can see a T2MI programmes

would you forward your post onto the GTMedia GTCombo forum page please Stephan

Are you entering the search details manually for each transponder or are you doing a bulk search.

So, is this actually the holy grace of satellite receivers?

No..still too many bugs..they never sorted out the forunner to this receiver..I have a feeling this one will be the same..infact, the latest firmware is the worst of the releases ..

 

[MCelliotG]

Do we know what tuner is used? It looks like the widely popular Silabs with T2-MI implemented (badly) in the software.
Does multistream work the same way as the Primo?
And of course, so many receivers with Android and yet not one single developer has added SNR in db?

At £70 delivered I doubt it.

 

[Channel Hopper]

At £70 delivered I doubt it.

The Android engine makes it feel like a 'fly by wire' system which I doubt can be improved upon, but apart from wired connections I was quite impressed with the microphone handset when searching for Youtube stuff.

There are few other combo machines that do 4K for £65 delivered (thanks SimonE )

This way worked nicely on 40W Cband too..

Hi all.........................Have been using the V8 UHD and finding extremely good results and at a superb price.

My GT Combo has now arrived and would like to know what is the preferred firmware version to install following your own trials and experiences.

I have read both here and at the GTMedia forum that there are still many bugs to be looked at and hopefully sorted but I know after all these years here, we have dedicated sat enthusiasts who sort of break the mold of the 'norm'

Thanks and all be safe.

Well I relashed the latest firmware last night and completely factory reset the box after locks ups, DTT channels coming in and out signal etc..So far seems OK today. Perhaps a previous version of sw got corrupted somewhere down the line...dunno..
