    Again. The Octagon SF4008 Currently Does Not Have DVB-S DVB-S2 blindscan for the internal tuners. I do not know how to make it any easier to understand than that. Maybe it will have blindscan for the internal DVB-S/S2 tuners next week, next month or next year, but not today. And there are no work-rounds or other magic to make it happen today either.

    Ok, sorry about that. 😔 A good several hours lost trying to get that researched out for people; so nevermind. Anyway, I guess I won't be buying the Octogon 4008, I will probably go with something else. 😕

    We do not twist arms on buying receivers here, so purchase what you want with your monies. A person should buy a fta receiver or fta product based on what they want or need. Not on what the receiver or product will have or is supposed to have at some future point in time.

    Bad or misinformation about fta receivers and other products is common. We try to only post correct and True information about fta products here, and we are loyal to no manufacturer or seller.

    Esmos is the Octagon rep. Look at what is posted in the link.

    We are not perfect, but several members of this forum spend time working with various enigma2 receivers. Usually we know what works and what does not in enigma2 receivers.

    Updates have been made to the tuner configuration menu. Programmed satellites for a particular tuner are listed under that tuner (see attached Screencap).

    Just to make skinners unhappy! 😠
    There is no way to make selection pixmaps that large to fit all these satellites when you have a mobile dish. Instead of considering inplementing a rolling option for the multitemplate content they think everyone has small dishes with usals... I already see people complaining!

Tell your friend to remove Autobouquets E2 if he has used that & install AutoBouquetsMaker instead that should give him the option to blind scan that he is missing...!
    (Oct is still an Enigma2 box so will install).

    to find AutoBouquetsMaker use remote & goto plugins, then download plugins, then Extentions.. it will be in the list, download then restart box & it will be available in the menu under servicesearching to setup.

    hope this helps!

    After today, Seems your friend in the UK has not a clue to what he talks about with internal tuner s/s2 blindscan. Looks like he gets his jollies from pulling your leg?

    Let's take a quick look at the blindscan plugin code:
    _supportNimType = { 'AVL1208':'', 'AVL6222':'6222_', 'AVL6211':'6211_', 'BCM7356':'bcm7346_'}
    That snippet of code in the blindscan plugin shows what internal nims are supported. Neither the nims for the new Octagon or the new Zgemma H7 are in that list. Can it work without being in that list? I really do not know, but would say it is unlikely for internal tuners. That list is in there for a reason.

    Now for the "hidden solution", or should we say the blindscan plugin that was alluded to earlier today. Take a look at this short video in the link.

    Easy enough to post a video, but seems your friend lacks the skills to do that, or just simply does not want to admit that he is playing with you. At any rate there is a video in the above link that shows what happens on a receiver that does not support blindscan.

    Wanna try a Zgemma H7? Your friend says it has blindscan too, yes? Please buy one and find out.
    In the past, XBMC Wizard has said they would ship to North America and they accept PayPal. Contact them and hopefully they will send you one. The H7 should be about 50 dollars less than the SF4008, depending on where you buy. The H7 and the second batch fo SF4008 are supposed be ready before the end of this month.

    Whatever you choose, I hope you enjoy your new enigma2 receiver! EB

    What does autobouquetsmaker have to do with blindscan? I've read lots of crap throughout the years of having to do anything with E2 but this one takes the cake for sure!

    A very short video was made available today that seems to suggest Kodi will be finished soon. My guess is within two weeks or less, some form of Kodi will be made available to the public. On or about July 11 is when Satshop.fi will have the SF4008 in stock again, so I sort of expect something nice to happen in the SF4008 image or firmware between now and July 11.
