GTMedia GTCombo 4:2:2 receiver
- Thread starter John
- Start date
I think forum member @John may have requested dB values along with a few other things including customisable L.O. values?

I wouldn't hold my breath to be honest..Octagon were asked to implement dB readings for the SX88...its never happened..

Web connection is fine and combo will display live youtube items etc.

Their server is probably down or under pressure with download requests. I’d hold off upgrading for the moment. Seems to be an issue with remote controls for some after the upgrade.

. Sorry to jump in here.......this is what they said, not sure if this Owen chap is part of the GT Media team or just a beta tester...
Most set top box signal and quality levels are relative in that box only.
They provide a level comparison between TP's in the same box.
Owen
That reply from the GTMedia person seems to indicate they dont want to know about configuring the Combo to provide signal levels in dB.
Either that, or they do not have the skill level to implement it.

Owen is a beta tester from new zealand and he is not a programmer.
It would be necessary that this evening an engineer of GTMedia who sees this question
and who answers it.

Pure bullsh!*!
But these are the disadvantages of a closed system like Android, you are completely dependent on the engineers. All that is needed a small series of code adaptations in the specific apps. Let alone when the tuner supports dbs natively and no conversion is needed. It's a pity these manufacturers sell these boxes for "other" capabilities and neglect such a simple but very crucial feature for our hobby...

totally agree - in fact this very subject has been a topic of private conversation between a few Combo operators here in the UK.
It really is getting very frustrating to have to wait for a month or longer for an upgrade (ver 1.17 which i have), to include some crucial features that have been asked for several times to find that the 'upgrade' contains non crucial things to a lot of people

The manufacturer (unless prompted by enough people) isn't in the slightest bit interested in the hobby.totally agree - in fact this very subject has been a topic of private conversation between a few Combo operators here in the UK.

They are after profit and that usually equates to sales minus overheads.

Any particular reason for the private chats on this topic. I thought the idea was to share the experience. Obviously not.totally agree - in fact this very subject has been a topic of private conversation between a few Combo operators here in the UK.

Chats amongst the beta testers before a release of the official version probably, is that such a problem?

even with "open" systems it is not that simple.
How many years did it take for the blindscan to arrive on Enigma2.
When we asked the question, there was a "no" answer; when the developers remained polite, which was not always the case, saying that the satellite.xml was much better.
