Octagon Receivers

[rrob311]

Has anyone seen these? They have been out for awhile in Europe.

[easily confused]

Quite a price range and they seem to be very capable, though even the most expensive at 339 GBP still does not appear to do 4:2:2, although all 3 models do blind scan, including the SF1008 at 189GBP

I wonder if they work for North America

Hi, I have a SF 918. I had it for some time. It's in the closet now. It's a very good and stable reciever, but it lacks a blind scan. The picture quality is beautiful, the tuner is good but not very very sensitive. The only problem I had Was the NTSC mode was not the right size(you will have a bigger picture on the screen)So you will not see the bottom of the screen.

The pvr function on it is excellent.

I heard the SF 1080 has a very good blind scan, but I did not want to get it and find out that the NTSC conversion is the same as my 918 HD.

Hope this helps.
