    Not for me!
    Octagon made a mess out of the SF4008, so I will not be buying this new SF8008 receiver. New receivers from other manufacturers will be on the market in the next few months. I will wait and see what else is being offered. Best of luck to anyone purchasing an Octagon product.

    Seems Octagon is more intent on promoting Kodi rather than fta essentials.

    I still need a good four tuner 4k receiver. So, this one is off my list.

    The Octagon SF4008 just had to have Kodi. That is all you heard from Octagon for months was Kodi. When they finally did install Kodi, it wrecked the audio and caused other problems. Then they started releasing drivers that caused an entirely new set of problems including boot-looped boxes. So they quit trying to fix anything, but kept claiming they would fix the problems and add blindscan. There has not been a meaningful update from Octagon in a year. Octagon is good about making videos and and fancy advertisements. They are useless for anything else. Maybe the new 8008 will be different, but I have lost all faith in Octagon as a company. Octagon does not need any more of my monies.

    Seems Octagon is trying to impress their base that Kodi is a relevant item. But it is not. Anyone can get a majority of the free stuff provided by Kodi addons by using E2 plugins which use less stb resources and create less conflicts. Plus, even the Kodi addon sites usually post:

    "WARNING: Before You Continue…
    Even without your explicit consent, your ISP (Internet Service Provider) is collecting and filtering your Web browser data. This means that using Kodi to stream copyrighted content might get you into legal trouble. Also, your ISP might block access to specific streams, which leads to Kodi errors, or entirely blocked and throttled streaming. This is why users of Kodi should always use a VPN to make sure their identity and privacy are protected while streaming".

    I don't know if Kodi is more prevalent in Euro land than the U.S., but eventually the la la land execs will get greedy and start cracking down on infringement; there will be a price to pay. Similar to when Dish started suing people for infringement. We all know how sue happy the U.S. is, much more so compared to other countries. Why keep releasing this program to the general public? Doesn't make sense. Maybe the manufacturer wants to push and see how far it can go before shtf. I guess in their wisdom, Octagon just wants to offer a universal plug and play receiver which will offer free stuff to the "free stuff challenged", hoping it will be a sales success.

    Remember, some one has to maintain the addons, once the links are no longer available or not updated, the free stuff will no longer be plug and play and disappear.

    I hope it is interesting for someone, but it will not be for me! The SF8008 has a new chipset again, no OpenPLi support, plus a DVB-T tuner that is useless for North America. No options are available for the SF8008 to get the receiver with two satellite tuners or without the DVB-T tuner. Maybe it will work out for someone? I want a receiver with at least two good satellite tuners this time. The last creation from Octagon had two satellite tuners, but only one worked correctly or semi-correctly.

    Should be interesting how this unit is promoted.

    This summer I was tempted to buy the Giga 4k, four tuner receiver after reading TWOLs post claiming that blind scan worked on that receiver. But then Huevos posted his belief that it did not work and requested proof. TWOL never provided any further response. To date, I have not found any other info on the blind scan capabilities of that receiver.

    So, I am still looking for a 4 tuner, 4k receiver that blind scans or at least a close semblance.

    Looks like no SF8008 support from SatDreamGr.

    UClan Ustym 4K Pro is very similar to the SF8008, and it would be better supported. I do not think this receiver is available at retail yet, but I do like the advertised OpenATV (OE Alliance), and OpenPLi support.

    Octagon should act reasonably and provide their BSP officially for all teams. Once they decide to exclusively be supported by OE-alliance, OpenPLI has no intention to support their brand, although technically it's possible.
