Octagon SF8008 Supreme

**eastof111** · 02-27-2024,05:36 PM

It's a small heat sink, just dropped and sitting on top of the original. I've got more intel sinks sitting in the garage which I will find later and see how far down I can get the temp to drop without using a fan.

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

I just downloaded the latest VIX and tried one of their old skins and now I am stuck. It won't let me make a selection in multiboot. If I try to change the skin, it keeps rebooting with an error. Also, tried doing a factory reset and it comes back to the same PIA skin. Tried using filezilla to get into the settings menu to change skins, but filezilla won't connect without a password.

Is there a button on the remote that allows you to select a slot while in the boot process?

More SF8008 Supreme Blindscan-ServiceScan tests for me tonight. I was able to add some more information to the scan reports that show Transponder Lock or UnLock, and also log a reference signal in db for both transponders and the services in the transponders. It is windy and rainy here tonight, and I had several blindscan hangs with the Supreme this evening.

Put nicely, the Sf8008 Supreme is logging a bunch of trash in blindscan. I will report what I have found and see if there is a desire to fix the blindscan. Right now, the Supreme blindscan is logging so-called transponders that are nothing but junk. The SF8008 does not log much junk, but the SF8008 has had years to be refined.

I find the Remi Services on 16apsk transponders play fine, providing there is enough signal. I also find that services on 32 APSK transponders play well, even the 4:2:2 that have to be streamed, providing of course, there is enough signal to support the reception. Surely there will be something that comes along that doesn't open or play, but that has happened with every fta receiver I have owned. The SF8008 Supreme gets high marks from me for being able to handle the services on APSK transponders.

Shown below is a scan log of 89w c band. Everything shown that is open plays good!

A good example of Blindscan junk can be seen at 61w c band. Ridiculous....

A scan of 97w Ku in the wind and rain. More trash in blindscan shown here. Note the total scan time. This satellite should take around 3 minutes from start to finish. The trash slows it down...

Found the same thing on 87 ku, 97 ku and recently I scanned 129 ku and it displayed the following:

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Then for more info I scanned them anyway and got this:

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Basically the same happened with 87 ku and 97 ku.

That scan error should not happen! Am trying to clean that up.

**el bandido** · 03-06-2024,11:32 AM

We have two scan problems to look at.
One scan problem is the return of bogus frequencies.
The other signal problem is the receiver hanging during a blindscan/servicescan.

Bogus Frequencies:
TNAP images 4.0 and above have an "unfiltered" blindscan, which allows us to see any trash that is found in a blindscan. Other images filter the trash, so you do not see it, but it does exist and can be seen in terminal debug. This will have to be worked on later as there is no real good solution for it right now, except to run a filter.

Receiver Hanging during scans (Blindscan/ServiceScan):
The SF8008 Supreme is set slightly different than most other enigma2 receivers that have a decent scan capability. The SF8008 finds and returns transponders that do not appear to make sense, but they are valid frequencies. Some of these transponders are Unlocked due to no signal or due to other circumstances. Some transponders that are returned appear to have no signal at all, so a signal error is returned. It looks like Enigma2 does not know how to handle this, and you could debate whether these transponders should be returned at all.

A solution for the scan hanging may have been found by reducing the timeout times in enigma2. Changing the timeout times may effect older receivers such as a Duo2. The timeout times were set Years ago before the SF8008 Supreme existed. Reducing the timeout times is a fine line. Reduce too much and transponder services will not be scanned. The flip-side is if the timeout times are set too high, then the receiver hangs.

Some of the scan timeout timers have been adjusted in TNAP5.1 and the results can be seen below. The SF8008 Supreme is motorized for this example. with the cable for tuner 2 disconnected. Tuner 2 in this example is motorized ku band. A ku channel is called, then an attempt is made to scan a ku transponder, which is "Dead" as no antenna is connected.

Dead transponder scanned on motorized antenna system:

Dead transponder scanned on motorized antenna system WITH timeout timers adjusted:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Blindscan/ServiceScan results do not seem to be changed with the timeout timers modified so they have been included in TNAP5.1. Perform an online Software update or use terminal (opkg update && opkg upgrade) to get these changes in Tnap5.1.

115 West C band was a "problem"satellite for my SF8008 Supreme. The receiver would hang or take an enormous amount of time to scan this satellite. Adjusting the timeout timers seems to have fixed it ---at least for now. Scan results on other c band satellites also give good to satisfactory results. Ku band has not been tested yet.

Plenty of Unlocked transponders on this one.

I keep using 99 ku as a reference for comparing before and after scans. I tried the blind scan on VIX and it behaved the same as in post #37.

I then tried ATV and it displayed:

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

I updated ATV (11 packages) and re-scanned and it showed a few more transponders:

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

I think I will try a few other images to see how they behave.
