My A3 seems to be getting more unstable. It freezes up now after days to a few weeks. Power off reboot doesn't bring it back sometimes. Other times it hangs at the boot screen. Doing a full Monte reformat is the only option. I'm longing for a good 4k receiver to replace it but am hesitant...

The v7 and v8 remotes are pretty much interchangeable. You'd be fighting them with a side-by-side setup.

Yes! I've seen two additional Sat tuners and two more terrestrial tuners in Advanced Setup, all at once.

Has anyone seen 2160p resolutions in the display settings at setup? I can select the 2160p options but the output doesn't actually go there. The TV reports a 720p input.

I had to do a Low Level Reset on my A3 this weekend, it locked up and I couldn't get it to reboot or finish a cache and data erase. I wiped and restored to ver .60 but could not get any automatic updates to work. I loaded .78 from the Amiko Dropbox link in this forum and restored from an...

Do you need to rename the downloaded 2.0.78 zip file to "update.zip" to do the update from the reset screen? Or, is this installed from the Updater app from within the A3 menus?

Do you think the low level reset provided by Joe is a source of problems (other than the Eurotrashed .72 that's installed)? I intend to reset my A3 when it next flakes out and go entirely EURO. I have done the dB transform backup, which seems to capture satellites and channels installed so...

Do you still have the A3? I may be interested.

I believe there's a current limiting feature built into the microHD, maybe that is interfering with moving the motor. Can you view both H & V transponders? If so I'd say there's nothing wrong with the coax connection in the box.

You should put a count down timer in your sig line. We'll know what it means!

I hooked up the V7 again and see this too on the same 97w channels. It did a good blind scan and got about everything, including the 4:2:2 CBS feeds with clear audio but no video. CW Feeds look really nice, too!

I've not noticed any issues with those channels. 8' dish with A3...

I think back to deann and her issues with spontaneous reversion to European software. I had mine try to do that shortly after I got it before I had a chance to make the backup. I was able to interrupt it then. Always felt bad for Deanne in a way, people were sure she was causing the issues...

I wonder if it's (stability) a heat related issue? Joe said in his original reviews that heat should never be an issue. My A3 heats up pretty good, it's frame is a huge he at-risk, maybe the thermal bridge is breaking down? After I did the nand recovery, I left it on. 72 and only recovered...

I absolutely love the A3. The menus are the best laid out of any receiver I've used. The remote being rf and airmouse w/ voice to text is great. I love tuning to a tp on C hand, and it stops moving when it acquires signal. Setting timers is easy. Blind scan works very well. Then the A3...

Titanium, can you sell me a couple postage stamps, affixed to, say, I don't know... some old receiver you have laying around? [emoji5]?

On my V7, I found it difficult to drive the C band dish through DiSEqC 1.2 commands and monitor the signal quality when aiming the dish. Other than that, and the "signal blinking", it would be a good receiver. I have three lnbs switched through a 4x1 diseqc 1.0 switch, and it drives the...

An annoyance I've seen with the V7, at least in my system. My current setup... V7 ---> VBOX VBOX ---> DiSEqC 1.0 1x4 DiSEqC 1.0 1x4 ---> A) ku on 8' ChannelMaster, B) C on 8' ChannelMaster, C) SG9120B and ku. When switching to another satellite, the V7 will acquire the signal initially...

Freesat v7 doesn't know what GMT time is on 101W Movies! I must have been coincidentally viewing transponders that were sending good timestamps off 107 C, 125 ku and 97 ku. The remote is pretty good with a nice feel, not cheap like some. The IR signal is strong and has a great angle of...

My notes on the Freesat V7 from playing with it for a brief few moments. The box boots up in about 14 seconds when powered up via the power button or power cord. As mentioned earlier in this thread, the box initially boots to a PAL resolution. I don't have a PAL compatible display and...

I do like the remote for feel and comfort in the hand. Buttons were nicely spaced with good feedback. Things to check: 1. Timer and receiver stability 2. Clock time keeping 3. USALS motor control 4. Diseqc 1.0 & 1.1 combined control I've been otherwise occupied every weekend since early...

Thanks for the blind directions. It will probably be tomorrow until I can play with it again. This thing is Tiny, it seems like it will have a hard time dealing with heat dissipation issues.

Brian, have you received the Freesat v7 yet? I got mine, but it must be outputting an unsupported video mode, as that's all my TV will display with it hooked up. I haven't found a way to toggle the video modes without a usable display.

I took the plunge and ordered one. Should be here before August... [emoji33] I'll report my findings. I've come to not depend on the A3 to remain functional over a 2 week span without intervention. Timer use is probably 95% of my FTA use for now.

Has anyone done the complete wipe and reinstall everything, I'm not talking about the update.zip restore. Would this get it back to a more stable state? If not for a day...
