Hello everyone, this is GTmedia V8 UHT, it's a digital WiFi satellite receiver.
00:20
Now the design of this looks more like a broadband and I don't really like it because you want
00:26
it flat and you want it to be just underneath the TV.
00:30
This is very difficult.
00:31
I tried placing this at the back of the TV, just like a broadband because most of the
00:37
broadbands are like in this design but because it's behind the TV, when I use the remote
00:43
it wouldn't respond to it because that's behind the TV and it wouldn't change channels or
00:50
anything.
00:52
I gave up on it but it does the job.
00:56
It's not a big problem if you can put it onto the side or you have a different space to
01:00
leave that.
01:02
On the side, maybe at the top, maybe at the bottom if your TV stand is different and has
01:10
a space to hold something like this underneath then it's perfect.
01:14
It comes with an HDMI cable.
01:18
It comes with a mains plug here.
01:21
You can choose EU, the UK one, the US one and Australian one I think as well.
01:29
So they can provide different plugs and that's the remote.
01:33
At the back here, this is how it looks.
01:36
So it does take a SCART lid, it takes an Ethernet port, HDMI port, USB-A port, mains plug port
01:42
and it also takes this coaxial port, LMB in and ANT in as well.
01:49
So these are the satellite cables that you have to fit in here to get the free channels.
01:55
At the top, that's where the on and off button is and it does have some ventilation so it
01:58
doesn't overheat.
02:01
Underneath here, it has a lot of grip so it doesn't move side to side.
02:04
The remote here, if you swipe this down, it requires two AAA batteries to operate and
02:11
these are the buttons.
02:12
The remote is very good.
02:13
It's got plenty of buttons for pretty much everything from navigation, menu, favourites,
02:20
satellite, exit, all the buttons there.
02:23
You've got a switch on and off here.
02:25
You've got the volume control, mute button, YouTube button, you've got the record button.
02:30
You will have to put a USB into this to record channels.
02:36
You've got play, pause, you've got pretty much all the options here.
02:39
Okay, so one good thing about this is that it's 4K Ultra HD 75 FPS resolution.
02:49
So if your TV can handle that, if there's any channels there that support 4K, this receiver
02:58
can support that as well.
03:01
It also has IPTV built in as well, YouTube, multi-stream, it also has GT share, Wi-Fi
03:08
and like I mentioned, Ethernet connected.
03:10
You can update it through the settings.
03:14
So these are all the features, stay tuned, let me get this set up, I can show you how
03:18
it looks on the TV screen.
03:22
Alright so this is the home page and you can see it says no channel, that's because you
03:27
have to go to install and then you've got different satellite receivers here.
03:33
Now if I click on the first one and go to satellite list, you've got quite a few of
03:38
them so click on the ones that you want to search through.
03:42
Once you've done that, you just have to go back and then it will give you a single satellite,
03:49
multi-satellite and it will start searching for channels.
03:52
So that's it and once it's searched for a channel, you can put them into favourites.
03:58
Once you put them in favourites, you've got the channel bit there, here and you can put
04:03
them into sports, movies, entertainment, news, music, kids, international and then whenever
04:08
you're watching something, you literally go to the favourites, choose news and it will
04:13
take you, show you all the news channels and you just choose the one that you want to watch.
04:17
Very simple.
04:18
Then you've got apps here.
04:20
Now you've got YouTube here, I'm not sure, I know Dailymotion, Vimeo, whoever but I don't
04:25
know about the other three.
04:26
Okay, so I don't know what they are and then you've got IPTV there, you've got settings
04:32
there as well.
04:33
So if you go to settings, you've got the languages here as well.
04:36
Now you can see the languages that you can choose from.
04:39
So these are the languages that you can choose from.
04:41
So it does have a few languages to choose from and you've got first audio, second audio
04:46
that you can choose as well.
04:48
And if you go back, oh, did I just change something on my date?
04:54
I'm not even sure what language I went to.
05:02
Okay, but okay, I'm just going to go back, I'm going to check this out afterwards.
05:11
But it has everything, very smooth operating as well.
05:14
And it cost about £50, £50 to £60 but it's just a one-off payment and you've got all
05:21
the free channels, you've got IPTV, you've got YouTube, everything built into it.
05:25
So thank you for watching my video, please do give a like and subscribe.
