Octagon SF-4008

Well the only option we need to check is this one.

Octagon Tuner Dual 2 x DVB-S2X (satellite) for Octagon SF4008 +€35.00
Correct?

Correct.
Down below it, you may add the third DVB-S2 tuner, which is the same double tuner, BUT only one tuner works in the second slot. So I did not get the third DVB-S2 tuner.

It is important to select the correct DVB-S2 option, and verify that is what has been selected as you are checking out and billing. Check & Double check.

EB the only frequency I can pick up is 4104 with three channels. the two 16ASPK channels no go not even a signal indication with direct input. Now there are other factors pertaining to the dish and the setup, once the snow goes, you can't relate to that ,some fine tuning would be in order.

What satellite is that DaveLH?

Look at the screenshots of post 88 and 89. All the info is there.

I tried the transponder on Anik F2,but there isn't enough strength to lock it on a steady basis to scan in.I scan in the Hippodromo De Las Americas-B 3965V 1035SR on G3R.I am not sure if this is 16APSK?

The apsk transponders I listed are data and do not have video channels. Thanks for checking. This is something I can do quickly and easily once the receiver arrives.

Very wet snow falling this morning and afternoon losing some channels as it builds on the dish. Going to warm up starting Sunday then will get back to testing.

My Octagon arrived today. It needs some work, but has the makings of a very nice receiver.

[DaveLH]

The testing will Now begin.............Might get this box figured out now.
