Hallo

I have the opportunity to preview the brand new Octagon SX8 HD One.
This tiny receiver (the size of a cigarette pack) has a lot of possibilities.
First of all you have to know that it's only a satellite receiver (no KODI or anything like that).
It has no Ethernet socket (not enough space), if you want to network it will require a USB WIFI.
It has a blindscan that works automatically (we can not give search limitation) which is very fast and finds the frequencies from SR 1600.
It finds frequencies close to each other with similar sr
he can read from SR 1000.
He can find alone with the blindscan the multistreams, he can also find Multistreams in T2MI, but it takes two passages.
He has sensitive tuner.
Here are some pictures of this little receiver.

If you don’t work for octagon how come you get to try all the new units before they are on sale to the general public?

Beta testers are always needed.
and these do not work for the mark otherwise he could not say what does not work.
It's the same everywhere.

I just wrote that he finds in blindscan multistreams (new glasses, maybe)
he also finds the 5 ° West.
I also hear the FR .audio.
No idea of the price

Hmm, this looks perfect to hide behind the bedroom TV.

I like the BER reading that has been added. Refreshing to see just a receiver instead of this other bloat ware that gets added to most receivers. When is this one released Stephan?

So basically it uses the same tuner/chipset with the SX88, and the known FAKE multistream blindscan!

Cheap aint it, I'm sorely tempted by one!

@scopus
How much is it coming in to you in € on the site, I'm getting around €50 (£44) with the Wifi Dongle, only €6 for the one with the antenna which seems reasonable.
Were you commenting on that Facebook post too?
