Freesat v8 Golden Review Bugs Advantages and Disadvantages of the receiver
===============



I am testing this receiver from many days. So after than i want to review it.
& want to tell some bugs so be manufactures can fix it....
I am test latest firmware 556 (24.05.2017)
I am a big satellite lover & used too many receivers yet.
For example openbox s 10 hd, openbox x5 hd etc.

Any receiver 1st Impression is his UI (User Interface) 
The UI of this STB is so much tuff.
UI Not stylish as modern receiver have...
All other function & hardware of the receiver working fine as their describe.
Big problem is that Keys AutoRoll Not working (Even working on cheap indian solid stb)
On some tp is automatic detect keys on 1st time.
Entering of biss keys & CCCam was too good. No same sid bug on biss on this..
But problem is it every time need to enter secret code to eneter in CS protocol setting.
User bore to enter that.
Imports & exports keys also working fine from usb.
Playback & recording of DVR working well.. Have little bug m tell u.
this stb a big bug on pvr pictures playback..
Can not to play pictures show clearly.
it some big unwanted boxes on pictures..

On Tp list function it is always go to a default tp not on present satellite. so need to be fixed..
DVB s2 working well m not getting Any DVB T2 channel on Yamal 90 East..
I dont know how to setup that.

In small words overall receiver is good working.
& have standing worlds best of current time with all modern facilities...
If they fixed some bugs in firmware freesat become top of all.
