I have more than 8 usb tuners, but a lot of them are Sundtek. I can only get one Sundtek tuner to be seen or recognized. This is probably Not an Octagon issue, but rather a Sundtek issue.

Here is a listing of usb test tuners:

So, I'm wondering if the respective tuner icon is shown in my skin. The coding in the skin is correct but untested. Can you see tuner 7 for instance?

Hello EB
Do you know where can I get the Glamour Aura skin, I can't find it anywhere.
Please let me now.
Regards.

How good are you at transferring files from the computer to the receiver? That skin has to be manually installed.

Hello EB
I been transferring files for years now, is this a .IPK file?
Is OK if you worry about something, you don't have to share it , I will find it somewhere, is not like I am dying to have it.
Regards.

Load the image in post #62 of this thread. That image has the skin installed.

The tuner in the Octagon is very sensitive and resolves 16 APSK signals better than the OS Mini as seen in the screencaps below.

Maybe one day the Octagon will have blindscan.

I checked the Octagon 4008 specs on their German website, it does say that it does Blind Scan as well as USALS. But you didn't find a Blindscan anywhere deep in the menus or Settings?? I am looking at getting a new 4K Receiver that gets the new S2X signals for my motorized 3FT Ku Band Dish I put back up. ☺

Specs for fta equipment are usually nothing more than fantasies.
The SF4008 does not have blindscan now, and it probably will not have it next week or next month.
