    Dear manifacturer !
    Laat year I purchased a Solovox R8 HD sat. receiver through AliExpress.
    Unfortunately, this receiver does not accept more than 5 cccam lines at a time.
    Can you please help me (instruct me) on how to put 7 cccam lines which I recently bought through AliExpress.
    Thank you

          Hello Jeronimo, you can directly get the Portugal channel list for V8S from our Download page, the TP PROG can be directly applied to your SOLOVOX R8.

    I bought a Solovox R8,when I connected it and scanned the channels it was okay, but when I try to tune into a scrambled channel, it froze. It has been in that state for a month now. What do I do?

      Hello Carlos,

      The SOLOVOX R8 supports soft Dolby which can not be decoded AC3 channels. Actually, it seems that AC3 channels are not much, and we have not received feedback about AC channels. And is there much AC3 channels in your country?

      Thanks and Best Regards.

        Hello, thanks for answering!
        yes, mainly the HD of satellite 81W solovox R8 presents me in the list repeated channels in the same TP, in one it has no audio and in the other it takes 15 seconds and decodes the audio.
        Thanks and Best Regards

    Hello again !
    Dear sir !
    I tried to fix the problem on my Solovox R8 plus by trying to insert a new firmware with use of flash USB disc, as instructed by one of Solovox officials, but unfortunatelly that didn’t work.
    Please is there any other way how to fix the problem which I have with my Solovox R8 (described in my previous message).
    Thank you in advance.

      Hello Jeronimo, actually you can scan your satellite channel with the method of blind search. If you just can watch the free channels, it is because you have not decryption service such as CCCAM, NEWCAM. If your channels have H, and also have V, then it indicates that your R8 is OK, and it should be the problem of your antenna.
