Looks like we might have blind scan by summer.... very nice!

What he says makes sense. Motor controls and blindscan have always been last in development. Kodi will appeal to more than blindscan, and that is why it is being done first.

Well, I which mine arrives soon, last time I saw some activity on the shipment was on 3/30" " item is on its way to the destination country"
I am hoping it does not get lost like the last receiver I purchase from Satshop FI.
I hate the waiting.

Try tracking using USPS tracking.
Copy and paste the tracking number in a Google browser, and press enter. Then select USPS from the list of options.

Thanks EB
I been checking USPS tracking and is showing the same message since last Thursday, Processed through facility.
I should have something different by now like going through customs. Well they can always send me another shipment like last time.

Looks like we have a great receiver .... Has anyone tested this receiver on 4:2:2 mpeg 4 ND mpeg 2? Like CBS on g28 or T5?

When you buy this receiver it comes dual input tuners dvb-s2x?

[el bandido]

No Native 4:2:2.
Highly unlikely that Broadcom will release a 4:2:2 chipset (see link).

Most sellers are shipping the Octagon with one double DVB-S2x tuner. This gives you two DVB-S2x tuners in the first tuner slot. There is a second tuner slot in the receiver, but it can only support one DVB-S2 tuner. Currently, the only DVB-S tuner that is available is the double tuner. Octagon may add more DVB tuner types in the future, but the only S2 tuner is a double.I did not buy the third DVB-S2 tuner because I did not want to pay for a double tuner when only one tuner can be used.

Information about tuners and tuner types should be available at check-out. Pay close attention to what you are buying because DVB-T and DVBC tuners are available! Satshop.fi has the option to buy the receiver without any tuners.

I have been told at least 1 U.S. seller will stock these receivers within 3 weeks time.
