[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 1068422, member: 175144"] Whilst the below thread didn't start with Octagon [URL='https://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/threads/what-is-the-best-receiver-to-buy-early-2019.175524/page-2']What is the best receiver to buy . ( early - 2019 ) - SatsUK[/URL] A number of members chirped up with hints on the SX88+ and SF8008 receivers being better than sliced bread. I was impressed with the Octagon FTA receiver I had about a decade ago (though the box and instructions could have been spellchecked before production) I now have a customer who is looking to replace the ageing Echostar under the TV and its a bit too far to travel myself, even though I've been offered food and night accomodation to do so. The plan is to play around with it first, set up the positioning/coordinates/motor and then ship over. The specifications appear more than enough for the current models (no twin tuner is required here, wireless is similarly superfluous, and there is no 4K TV in place - yet) but which one out of the two scores higher in people's opinions ? I'm also looking for a reliable result since the last receiver onsite is still going strong some 10 years later, has anyone had issues which required replacement, or firmware updates beyond that which comes with the box, the client has a PC and access to USB sticks but it might be a step too far if the worst happens. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
