OCTAGON SF8008 E2 4K UHD

The linux kernels do not recognize DVB-S2X as a different system as it is an extension of DVB-S2. So any linux based STB will report DVB-S2X as DVB-S2 and will set all other parameters to Auto. The channels will be scanned normally but you won't have any info on the actual values like FEC etc!

Thanks for the info:Y

Hi,
Am thinking about getting an SF8008. My main priority would be the box as a satellite receiver.
So I would ask what is it like picture wise on a SD transmission. Of course HD too.
Ease of use good?
Can it get the 12597V 10058 25/36 on 33east? This is in DVB-SX2/8PSK MPEG-4
Really in a nutshell it is a value for money receiver?

Many thanks in advance

Picture quality is excellent on this receiver. Very good spec fast box. Blindscan works very well.

Superb value for money at only £109! This receiver performs better than some receivers twice its value and driver support is spot on. Any driver bugs are getting fixed super fast.

we know well Stephan, one by one we will do, is in the todo list . But we have other important issues now. After fix we will check xxx SR issue too, no point .. 8008 silabs + rda (tuner + demodulator), high quality hardware

I hope that what is on this todo list will be really done.
Unfortunately with the example of 4008 (blindscan will be done after kodi) and SX88 (limit blindscan search band) we can only have doubts that these promises are held.
 
Just curious, but has anybody tried the SF8008 Blindscan on a unicable LNB by any chance?
 
My dB level will not go above 11.5, I'm assured that this is not a skin issue, could be a driver problem?

@scopus

Does this receiver come with oscam pre-installed as part of the default image or is it an aftermarket install? Looking at your skin it appears you have OScam PVu configured?

Also, how does the SNR figure from the Octagaon compare with that from another receiver or the Signal Analyser SNR figure in EBS Pro?
