Too many different receivers doing more or less the same thing. Where's the ultimate receiver that does everything?!

Waste of R&D resources IMO.

I thought you were "ex-Octagon" - so shouldn't cost you "much":-rofl2


That's the communal "we"/"us". As a Yorkshireman, if two virtually identical boxes (in features and performance) compete for my attention, the least expensive wins :D

What can the OCTAGON SX88+ SE H.265 & OCTAGON SX88+ SE WL H.265 do that my SX88 & SX88+ currently cannot do ?:confused
4:2:2 video would be nice :)

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Excellent idea!!

A tuner that has this specification will not be from Octagon but a third party supplier. It would also be matched to a demodulator chipset(or main silicon in the receiver).

A standard tuner circuit off the shelf would have a bit of leeway outside the specified IF limits, even though they might not have the same threshold as the 950-2150 span, extending the tuning end stops in the software might be a halfway house.

TBH, most NIMS now will go much lower/higher, its just software limitations.

Miniaturising of circuits was the early sign things weren't right in the industry.
Then came ZIF.

I very much doubt there is the space on the back (or inside) for another tuner module.

Doesn't the 4008 have a combo/triple version ?
