Hope I am posting this in the right place as I see the firmware is here.

I just received a GTMedia V8 Nova Blue in the mail today. When I hooked everything up and powered up the unit the panel display goes boot, L009, L021, L025, L093 then I get ---- that is all. There is no image on the tv screen. Anyone else have this happen? If so could you tell me what is wrong and how to fix it. Is this unit bricked?
Thanks in advance.

- What does "no picture" mean?
- do you have access to the receiver's menu?
- you did a satellite scan

The receiver does not enter into the main interface. the tv screen remains blank, and I have no access to the main menu. All the front panel of the receiver shows are 4 dashes.

Maybe, you could also explain, how the problem was resolved, for someone in the future with similar questions :)

usually those boxes are sold set on pal/secam display system with no channels list, as for north america we need ntsc system. if your box has an rca port (red, yellow & white), you need to connect it to your ntsc tv and from the scrolling pic go to menu, display & change it to ntsc. then you can connect the hdmi port to the tv, and go from there with the sat list and scan of the channels. it's a bit tricky, but that is what i did with many chinese made boxes. hope this helps.
