Introduction
The Maxview Automatic Satellite systems use the data broadcast by the Satellite providers to identify the correct Satellite and allow the system to lock on to your chosen satellite successfully. Unfortunately from time to time the providers make data changes which are out of Maxview’s control and this may affect the function of your Maxview system to lock onto the desired Satellite. Maxview monitors this situation and we will always offer free lifetime software support. Therefore in such an event you can rest assured you will be able to update your automatic satellite system for continued trouble free viewing. We have made this process easy with the USB update system on the Target and Seeker Satellite systems.
Do I require a software update?

Android App – Samsung devices running Bluetooth 5.0 – 22/02/21
Investigations into a connection problem with some Android devices has found that the problem is unique to Samsung devices running Bluetooth 5.0 version. The result is the Connect App not being able to pair with the Control Box. Our App Developer partner is working hard behind the scenes to rectify the bug. We apologies for the temporary inconvenience with your user experience. The good news is you can still use your system via the buttons on the front of the Control Box. We are working hard to resolve the issue. All other Android devices are not affected, and the iOS platform App is fully functional.
