ANALYSIS OF THE UNIQUE AND SPECIAL FEATURES OF V8 THE NEWEST GSKY DECODER

In addition to the above technical specifications, I will list some special exclusive features of v8 Newest Gsky decoder.

• To start with, V8 comes with one free IPTV app for movie lovers. This app uses relatively slower internet according to the producers. You get more from the picture below:

From the above, it is obvious that the most outstanding internet app on the v8 is the super theatre app. Furthermore, the super theatre comes with some adult channels that are password locked by default. No live sports of any sort on Gsky V8 iptv solution.

SOME AUTO BISS CHANNELS ON V8 

To begin with, i need to reiterate that v8 favors South Americans than Africans with its biss and powervu autoroll. It goes without saying that we have less of meaning channels encrypted with biss keys in Africa. In the opposite, v8 can open channels on 78.5e. This the satellite has many TPs on Cband and Ku band. The channels are mostly available in  SouthEast Asia(Thailand, Burma,Laos, Nepal, East Africa(Somalia,etc.  78.5e Cband has about 200 biss channels, while 78.5e Ku-band has about 96 biss channels.

As for the powervu:

•  powervu auto roll,  58W TP 3921H30000, 58W TP 3880H30000, 115W TP 3780V30000, and  91.5e TP 4004 V 5000 CPhilippinesnes.

TANDBERG v2: 3702V30000: IMG ASIA channel is on 100.5 AsiaSat 5, it is Tandberg V2

Note: You need to connect your V8 to the internet via 3g/4g or wifi for it to auto roll any biss or supported powervu channels. I addition, I will say I do not know or I cannot say as of now if V8 is opening a sony power package.

OTHER THINGS WORTH MENTIONING

• You can use the same remote for v5, v6 , v7 and v8
• This newest gsky receiver V8 also supports AVS+ demodulation.  AVS+ is a modulated standard like DVB-S2 but it works in some Asian countries and South America.
• V8 is Linux operating system.
• Gsky v7 lacks super Theatre while v8 has it.
• The v8 HD works better with a poor internet connection.
• Huge movies for downloading
• Auto pushing video support
• V5/V6 and v7 do not support H.265 decoding, it means many movie/video files base on H.265 can play by GSKY V8.
• GSKY V8 has more hardware power, can do powervu auto roll and at the same time, the PVR function works perfectly.
• The GSKY V8 decoder has been tweaked and has a very strong internet search engine for online movie seeds, and also can download to a USB stick/disk for playback subsequently.

SUMMARY & CONCLUSION

In conclusion, I have been able to explain in detail all the features of v8. I am not selling and i do not have anyone selling this product. However, if you need it and I mean, if it has a feature that you need, you can order it directly from the manufacturers through their website: pctvlab.com.

Noteworthy, let us not forget that gsky v8 which is the newest gsky decoder does not open any channel that broadcasts EPL in sub-Sahara Africa. It’s IPTV solution does not also contain sports channels. but if you are not particular about EPL, then you might want to give it a shot.
