Good news about that! Check this out from a guy in the UK who says you CAN have Blind Scan with that receiver! You might have to go through some hoops, but it's worth a shot if you read carefully below: ☺
Just checked my box & no blind scan funtion directly from within tuner config (lot of settings available so one may be what he need) however on my current build I am using AutoBouquets E2 whereas on past builds I have used AutoBouquetsMaker & this software has blind scan option! Tell your friend to remove Autobouquets E2 if he has used that & install AutoBouquetsMaker instead that should give him the option to blind scan that he is missing...!
(Oct is still an Enigma2 box so will install).
to find AutoBouquetsMaker use remote & goto plugins, then download plugins, then Extentions.. it will be in the list, download then restart box & it will be available in the menu under servicesearching to setup.
hope this helps!

After today, Seems your friend in the UK has not a clue to what he talks about with internal tuner s/s2 blindscan. Looks like he gets his jollies from pulling your leg?
Let's take a quick look at the blindscan plugin code:
_supportNimType = { 'AVL1208':'', 'AVL6222':'6222_', 'AVL6211':'6211_', 'BCM7356':'bcm7346_'}
Now for the "hidden solution", or should we say the blindscan plugin that was alluded to earlier today. Take a look at this short video in the link.

Easy enough to post a video, but seems your friend lacks the skills to do that, or just simply does not want to admit that he is playing with you. At any rate there is a video in the above link that shows what happens on a receiver that does not support blindscan.
Wanna try a Zgemma H7? Your friend says it has blindscan too, yes? Please buy one and find out.
In the past, XBMC Wizard has said they would ship to North America and they accept PayPal. Contact them and hopefully they will send you one. The H7 should be about 50 dollars less than the SF4008, depending on where you buy. The H7 and the second batch fo SF4008 are supposed be ready before the end of this month.

Whatever you choose, I hope you enjoy your new enigma2 receiver! EB

I tend to agree with you EB, been thinking about this for a while now. We have been duped again here in North America, getting tired of this. I jumped the gun and purchased one early, thank god it was wasn't expensive.

Octagon has a good history of supporting their receivers. I firmly believe they will provide us with some sort of DVB-S DVB-S2 blindscan. It is just not high on their list of things to do. My guess on blindscan for the SF4008 is around 2018. IF it happens before then, I will be pleasantly surprised. We may see some more updates and upgrades soon because the next batch of SF4008's are fixing to hit the market.

Again. The Octagon SF4008 Currently Does Not Have DVB-S DVB-S2 blindscan for the internal tuners. I do not know how to make it any easier to understand than that. Maybe it will have blindscan for the internal DVB-S/S2 tuners next week, next month or next year, but not today. And there are no work-rounds or other magic to make it happen today either.

Ok, sorry about that. 😔 A good several hours lost trying to get that researched out for people; so nevermind. Anyway, I guess I won't be buying the Octogon 4008, I will probably go with something else. 😕

We do not twist arms on buying receivers here, so purchase what you want with your monies. A person should buy a fta receiver or fta product based on what they want or need. Not on what the receiver or product will have or is supposed to have at some future point in time.
Bad or misinformation about fta receivers and other products is common. We try to only post correct and True information about fta products here, and we are loyal to no manufacturer or seller.
Esmos is the Octagon rep. Look at what is posted in the link.

We are not perfect, but several members of this forum spend time working with various enigma2 receivers. Usually we know what works and what does not in enigma2 receivers..

Just to make skinners unhappy! 😠
There is no way to make selection pixmaps that large to fit all these satellites when you have a mobile dish. Instead of considering inplementing a rolling option for the multitemplate content they think everyone has small dishes with usals... I already see people complaining!

What does autobouquetsmaker have to do with blindscan? I've read lots of crap throughout the years of having to do anything with E2 but this one takes the cake for sure!
