Nice video..... any info as to when the 5008 will debut and what are the specs? Namely, # and type of tuners, blindscan, flash multiboot (not plugin), codecs, etc., etc.

They are saying sometime in June2018 for the SF5008. No other real information besides that.

I am not interested in any Octagon product after the problems I have had with the SF4008. Best of luck to anyone paying money for the new SF5008. You can be sure that what is promised or what is advertised will not be what you get!

But, but the video was WELL made.... ahem.

Will probably try out the Gigablue 4k with four tuners if they ever decide to get their act together, or unless something better pops up soon.

Unfortunately the video is better than the receiver. Good luck with the Gigalblue blindscan> FBC tuners are not supported in the blindscan plugin. I do not think Gigablue has a Si tuner option.

Hopefully, Giga will out their long promised plug and play blindscan tuners for the 4k by summer. If not, they will be just another vendor to add to the NG list.

Yeah....Sure....

Esmos posted that Octagon SF4008 would have blindscan in February 2017. Where is it?

My SF4008 could never recognize an internal hard drive, then the Internet (RJ45) connection quit working. Looks like the SF4008 receiver was made in China. My Zero 4K has an acceptable blindscan. The Zero 4K has Made in Korea stamped on it.

The SF4008 has audio issues and 60Hz issues for some users. These problems started after Kodi was introduced.

Most recently, the SF4008 was giving people problems loading images or updating images. The SF4008 would get stuck in boot. Octagon could not be bothered to give instructions on connecting the RS232 debug. We asked for this when the boot problems started. RS232 debug shows where the boot hangs...

Overall, Sf4008 coding has been poor and support has been poor. I could care less how great the SF5008 is going to be. The SF4008 needs to be fixed before I consider getting another Octagon product.

I find the Zero 4K to have a better tuner than the SF4008. The Zero 4K can find more channels than the Sf4008. Look at the videos in the link and you will see. The Zero 4K finds channels on the 16 and 32 apsk transponders at 111.1w. The Octagon SF4008 cannot.

The Sf4008 can receive some 16 apsk transponders and receive the channels on them. But only on tuner B. Tuner A can lock a 16apsk transponder but cannot get the channels. This is why I used tuner B in the video. Octagon said they would fix this bug but they needed a 16apsk TS file. I took the time to make the TS file and uploaded it to the Internet. I sent Octagon the key to download the file, but they never bothered to download it. Little wonder why people are upset with Octagon and their SF4008.

Update SF4008 Drivers? LOL

[Only registered and activated users can see links]



Show us the build-environment with driver updates. There are none. If you are able to provide the information we are able to look into and compare the used drivers. Taking an old driver and putting it into a new archive to build with a new date - is no real update...it is a rollback. The new date is only used that opkg gets a package update and the "old" driver gets rolled out via opkg upgrade.

At least Zgemma tried to add blindscan to the H7. Octagon promised blindscan in the SF4008 many times. Now they are pushing fake driver updates...
