Big surprise this morning comparing the SX88 sensitivity with SF4008
27 ° 5 West with a 1.20m C-band antenna, it is still very limited.
The SX88 is the BlindScan frequency RTG1 but reading program
for 20 to 30 seconds the receiving bars are white then suddenly the image comes
and the program is read without problems and with a beautiful picture and without interruption.
The SF4008 also reads frequency but reading is often interrupted and the picture is not pretty.
which is specifically: the two receptors indicates a signal with 0 dB or 0%
001-vert.jpg This may be a unique case but it shows good sensitivity SX88.

@stephan94 thanks for looking. I'll try a different LNB, maybe its LOF is a little off spec.

@Tururu thanks for looking also. One of your screen captures appears to imply you have a settings editor which can read the sx88's database. If so, can you point us to a link?

No, I do not have an editor for the SX88, that's what I'd like.:(

Comment that I use a receiver VU+DUO2 (Enigma2 + DreamboxEdit) for fishing and comparisons.;)
Similar values of the channels found by the companion stanley_cassidy.

Then search with the SX88 to compare (photos post #281).
Differences, 2 channels with SR +1 and +1Mhz in frequency.
Personally, it's very good.

Personalmente esta muy bien.

PS: Same antenna/LNB.

Hi stephan94
May I make a suggestion please? It concerns updates to the Octagon SX88
Not everyone views this forum or others and so may not be aware of new updates available and miss them completely.
Therefore is it possible when updates are available (Providing your receiver is connected to the internet) for it to ask. Updates to your receiver are available.. Do You Wish To Download? YES/NO

Then the receiver will connect and download. Seems simple but I hope it is possible. I am sure to get the best from the receiver updates should be added and by working this way people will know and have them.
Thank you.

Hi,
@stephan94 can you test the BBCs channels on 27,5W?
.
The SX88 is totally blind for these emissions, it does not find anything in the indicated tp, with very good signal (photos).
Blind search, MTS blind search and TP search.:cool:
Currently do not "work".
------
El SX88 es ciego total para esas emisiones, no encuentra nada en el tp indicado, con muy buena señal (fotos).
Busqueda ciega, busqueda ciega MTS y busqueda por TP.:cool:
Actualmente no "funcionan".

the SX88 has the signal on the frequency but can not find the BBC programs 27 5 W.
This is the case of many receptor and SX88 is one of those.

PS :Tururu was faster than me

You'll need the SF4008 for 4K.
.
But it does not have blind search, it has it in pending tasks, for some more valuable than being able to see channels 4K (UHD).:-doh
Pero no tiene busqueda ciega, lo tiene en tareas pendientes, para algunos mas valioso que poder ver canales 4K (UHD).:-rofl2
