T2MI vs NON-T2MI drivers

I owned the original version --for the year or two that it worked. This receiver (sf8008<Enter Version Here>) and the rest of them with very few exceptions are built from the cheapest parts known to man. That is why a lot of them die every few years. Vu+ and maybe DreamBox at times offered decent hardware....JMO.

We got this one primarily for the dual tuners. Running KU on one and C-band on the other. I tried for months to find a used Edision OS MIO 4K+ without any luck.
 
Moody Radio Nashville, 87W C-band, 4156 H 283 (please ignore the satellite indicating 101 C-band, I haven't loaded all the C-band sats yet so I'm just using 101 as a placeholder).

Note: this is the lowest SR I have ever locked with a hardware satellite receiver. I've gotten down to 125 on an SDR.

I got the Octagon to lock WPR using the latest version of TNAP and turning on T2MI. It won't scan in the channels, so I guess I could add them manually? It's been a long time since I've done that. Is the process still using Dreambox Edit?

I was able to get the signal this morning on the Octagon sf8008 Supreme v3 and they do scan in with DVB-S QPSK. It is at 12028 V 360 on my Lnbf. Very hard to lock, takes 20+ seconds.
