[QUOTE="Offtensive, post: 1126592, member: 416667"] I briefly had the SF8008 last year, but at that point my motor had gone belly up. Thus, I was only able to test it on 28.2e. I managed to get a good deal on the Gigablue UE 4K, so I sold the SF8008 to a friend. I do prefer the snappiness of the Gigablue, but from what I have been reading, I'm not sure if the plug and play tuner for the Gigablue has a blindscan (the internal FBC ones does not). Plus, a few times, (I have only noticed this on hotbird so far) it has shown 0% Signal Quality for the whole transponder. If I rescan that same transponder using the same existing credentials, it's back to normal levels. Plus, it did struggle to hold a picture on 30W from a fixed Zone 2 on Saturday night - but that might be down to the weather. I'm thinking its better for me to get a new box rather than spend £50 on the plug and play tuner for the Gigablue. The only downside I remember from my brief fling with the Octagon was the delay/lag, but as it looks like that has the better tuner than Edision, I can live with that. [/QUOTE]
