Better get postin' then! ;) I believe you need 20 posts before you can PM. You may also choose to unban my account on the forum you moderate.

Those extra DVB-S2 options were added on the 3rd party firmware as legal decoys since it would look pretty bad legally to have "Turbo" as the only 8PSK option added when the module is installed. As stated previously, there are NO add on modules supporting DVB-S2 8PSK currently available for the...

Unfortunately, no 8PSK module for the SV-8000 supports DVB-S2 at this time. As a rule of thumb, if the module is designed for Turbo 8PSK, it won't support DVB-S2 8PSK as there are currently no modules supporting both formats available for any FTA receiver to my knowledge.

The older firmwares don't have this bug and correctly save whatever selection you make in the External Module menu, even after a reboot. I don't remember off hand since what version that it doesn't save anymore but will try to find out when I have the chance.

I agree with what you said. Lets all refrain from posting any new legal related posts to bring this thread back on track with technical and bug related posts for the SV8000.

FYI, the main court filing document you are referring to only summarizes the case and does not go into detail. However, the various appendixes which were filed as supporting evidence DO contain very detailed information, including details on version 4.43 of the factory firmware for the SV...

Because you are a moderator on Sonicview's main satellite piracy discussion forum & hacked firmware release site as stated on the screenshot I included with this post. :yikes As this is a delicate subject, only people with some sort of connection to Sonicview and/or staff are chosen to be...

I agree that version 4.43 of the firmware you posted is the best one available so far for legal use of your SonicView 8000HD receiver, especially for OTA as it parses and displays the virtual channel numbers correctly (with the "Channel Number by SID" option enabled in user options). Even...

Did you make sure that Dolby Digital is selected in HDMI Audio inside the A/V settings menu? Most PBS channels have AC3 audio so you might need to connect either an optical or HDMI cable to an AV receiver for sound to work as very few TV's can decode Dolby AC3 audio.

Looks like the dark side has finally decided to join us... Thank you for confirming my theory though! Good luck hunting and hope you get your prey.

SV8000 bug list Since one of the moderators in Sonicview's "support" forum deleted my bug post thread after being there for several months for no apparent reason, I am posting it in this forum instead where the moderators believe in the freedom of speech! Feel free to PM me if you want to add...

UPDATE: Looks like SonicView is actually reading this thread. Shortly after I posted the hexedit screen capture of the SV360 premier factory firmware, it was updated to a new one and just today, the factory firmware for the SV8000 and SV360 Elite was updated as well! Now if they could just...

It is well known that in order to avoid clones, FTA receiver manufacturers are very selective to who has access to the firmware's source code. Only certain staff working for the company have access to the source so SonicView KNOWS what's in their code! Factory firmware is only compiled from...

Page 11 of attached complaint copy reads... .... some or all Sonicview receivers contain embedded coded that is proprietary to DISH network. Versions of this factory-installed software and firmware come pre-installed on Sonicview receivers and are also distributed on Sonicview's website. But...

This was Viewsat and not Coolsat. Sonicview receivers are designed strictly for Satellite TV piracy. The 3rd party and factory firmwares for all their receivers are actually using the exact same software but the piracy features are commented out in the code when the factory firmwares are...

They will most likely fold up shop after the court ruling is released, similar to what happened with Coolsat. Hate to admit it but Sonicview's business model is strictly based on satellite piracy and they don't care about legitimate FTA use. This is too bad as the box is a good piece of...
