A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

It was a customer of mine, bought one to use with a motor system. Wasted about six hours of my life.

As suspected with C band it works fine.
Only frequencies below SR 1600 must be entered by hand.
Here is an example on 4.9 east
currently the LNB setting is not programmed for KA band.
it should come with a new updateIMG_3478.JPGIMG_3479.JPGIMG_3480.JPG

@stephan94

What is the difference between the SX88+ and the SX8 HD ONE please?

I don't mean form factor but technically.

The differences are not very big.
What I really know
: He can not read the H265.
It can memorize only 5000 programs.
It does not have all the multimedia programs that the SX88 has for its part
For the rest I am trying everything.

if you want to order it; At "satking.de" it's available for around 30 €

Ah not H.265, did not notice that.

Yes I have both in my Basket, but not sure which one to pick :)
Have you looked inside them, I wonder what CPU/Tuner they have.

5000 channels limit isnt very many these days - there are over 1400 tv channels just on Hotbird if you scan everything in looking for new channels appearing.

Don't hope, he finds the frequency well, but can not find the programs.
Anyway the data of the programs are not conform, and are not made for the public
Some receiver can receive them (DR.HD and some openbox , but it is not the majority.)
With Enigma2 and plugins it works

Comparison of Blindscan, sensitivity, speed between the SX8 HD One, the SX88 (+) and as reference point the TBS 6983.


Test done on Nilesat 7 ° West
Lowest transponder: 11657 V 27500 2/3
so weak that 20 minutes later he was gone.
The SX8 HD One has the same difficulties as the TBS6983 card (bad picture), it happens to find this frequency in Blindscan.
the SX88HD One (like the SX88 (+) only found with the blindscan from a sr of 1600.
The SX 88 is the fastest in Blindscan: 3 Minutes on the 36 ° East
The SX8 HD One is a bit slower: 3Minutes and 55 seconds
this comparison is on a DVB-S, maybe on a DVB-S2 the result is different

TBS 6983 is the slowest with 5 minutes and 20 seconds.

For me with new software from the 13th of this month, no DD from the French mulistream channels, all I hear is silence!

Hello scopus
try these settingsFR Audio OK.jpg
The DD sound on French multistreams works perfectly.
That's what settings it works with.
Do not forget:
it is necessary that the receiver is in direct connection with the television by HDMI cable without intermediate device.

Thanks for that. It works ok with AC3 channels but when we have an EAC3 sound track, no sound. The settings I have are identical to your also..P1010009.JPGP1010010.JPG

Seems to be a difference in build times for the sw, albeit only 2 mins but that is strange. I updated the box from the web site as soon as I got it with what you see above.
