OTHER GTMEDIA V7 or V9?

[jorgek]

What channels have you verified the CC to work on the V9? You can PM me if needed

Is the V9 programmed with N.America sats? Is there software/hardware support?

You have to add NA satellites manually; at least I had to on mine.

There is a GTMedia forum for software/hardware support.

Just received mine yesterday. It is programmed with satellites from 3E through 108.2E and 61W through 0.8W. I just save this to a USB memory stick as my Europe list then start editing it using the remote control as I scan each satellite that I can receive. It's not so difficult.

You can also use the database editor application that you download but I find the remote control is easier. After all the North American satellites are entered then you can use the editor to arrange them in the order you wish.

Tried to lock any low symbol rate feeds yet?

Since you ask, I had to try! Listening to WPR Classical on 99W Ku. Locks it solidly while using my Invacom QPH-031 LNB. It does take several seconds to lock in, but once locked it's solid at SQ 81%. Nice station; first time I've ever heard it. What's the lowest SR tp you can throw at me?

The V9 can go down to SR 300, but WPR at 360 is the lowest I've been able to snag so far. That being said, the dish is fixed on 99. Once the motor is installed, I'll try some low SR feeds on other satellites as well.

Here is the appropriate editor for the V9 Prime:

【V9Prime/V8UHD/V9 SUPER/V8Finder-METER】Ali DBEditor(12/05/2021) - GTMEDIA Forum

Have you had luck using this editor for V9 Prime? I edit using it, then try to write from USB stick back into the V9 Prime and I keep getting "Invalid file". All I'm trying to do is arrange the satellites in my preferred order using the editor. I did all actual editing of the database using the remote control.

I have not tried it yet.

I have not tried it yet.

I'm starting to think it isn't compatible with the current software in the V9 Prime. I can't successfully just open a db file, save it without changes and write it back to the V9 Prime. After all, the editor was made years ago whereas the current software is dated March 18, 2025. It seems incompatibility would be logical. At this point, I erased all satellites, and am now entering each satellite manually via remote control.
