Octagon SF8008 Supreme

I removed the motor from the bud and hand wrenched the dish to what I thought was 103 degrees. Did a blind scan on 103 and it did not find the listed channels for 103 but found this instead:

Might this be the new Ses20 at 103.5?

Tomorrow will hand wrench to 101 degrees and see what pops up.

Disregard..... way off position. Will just wait until new motor arrives.

Hard to say, but your 103w looks like 89w.
And when you have time, please delete the plugin.py file from the blindscan folder. That plugin.py file will be there until you flash an image if it is not removed. Thanks.

Found out it was on 93.... Forgot to flash after I did a restore. Now it's up to date.

So far did a blind scan of 55, 58, 61, 81, 87, 89, 91, 93, 97, 99, 101 C band and quite impressed with the fast scan speed. Also, like that some of the picons are automatically assigned to some of the channels, making picon assignment a much easier job and less time consuming.

After checking Satbeams, I was hoping I could lock this one in, but no go.... might try another day.

What size dish are you using for 67W? Last time I checked, it took about 10db to look that 49000SR transponder. Sometimes I can scan the channels for the 49000 SR transponders using a 1.2 meter dish, but for me, it takes a 2.4 meter Prodelin with a decent pair of lnbs to view the channels on 67W. It is an interesting satellite.

How to answer with a good sales/marketing response......lol

yes start from sr 100.
blindscan works, on unicable blindscan you need to test, should be works

I have been told they started working on the low symbol rate problem today.
A video has also been uploaded to YouTube that shows the SF8008 Supreme failing to find transponders and services below 1000 symbol rate where the Edision OS MIO 4K with a modified Avalink6261 driver does. Will be interesting to see if anything is done about it. We will see...

Good to know.

Still using a very, very old c/ku lnbf on a Winegard 10 footer. Now if Octagon by happenstance ever puts out a three or four tuner receiver using the Supreme layout, I will immediately swap the lnbf for Norsats....... LOL

It would be great to see the results of improved updates.

I was not expecting this:

Any ideas?
