Octagon SF-4008(4K) Bugs, Issues, and Problems

[el bandido]

I use SatDreamGr, but I think any image should work for that transponder.

Some other things that have been asked about are also included.

Very nice EB, I finally going to get my box this week after a month and half, I hope there is no damage, it sounds like this box went all over the world, lol.
Hope blind scan is just around the corner.

Kodi was supposed to be done by the end of April. So they are behind the schedule they set, which is typical for a fta receive. But they need to get moving or other boxes will pass them. Zgemma is releasing a 4K box, and the demo video shows it running Kodi. I find it hard to understand what is taking Octagon so long to release Kodi since Zgemma did it so quickly? Unless the Zgemma video is eye candy only, but the video shows it working..

Hello Guys
Finally got my receiver, it came with the open ATV firm, tine 4K channels on 103w and 101W look awesome, picture quality looks good, the tuner is fast, it picked the heroes and Decades on one shot, my Vu+ it picks one of the other but not both same as the Ultra Miracle box .
It did not come with the User Manual, there is only one turner in the back of the box, I am not sure if this is correct, this is what I order:

Octagon SF4008, UHD PVR, 2-3 tuners
Receiver
1 x Octagon SF4008 UHD PVR,
Installed tuner 1-2
1 x Octagon Tuner Dual 2 x DVB-S2X (satellite) for Octagon SF4008.
Regarding the skin by MCelliotG, I can find it under the plugins/skins.

Excellent! I hope you continue to enjoy it.

Installed tuner 1-2

What you have is correct. One double tuner (or two DVB-S2). You ordered nothing more or nothing less.

That is a test skin. Will probably be best to send you an image with it already installed. Give me a bit of time and I will put something together.

Today is a good day if anyone wants to test the 16APSK.
My OS Mini found this transponder, but would not scan the channels for some reason.
The Octagon shows signal on both tuners, but will only scan the channels for me on tuner B.
Have not a clue as to why this is happening.

I read about about scanning on tuner B and not the A on the ATV forum somebody claim they were working on it but that was a while back, I will see if I can find that sat in my side of the woods.
I install a HDD on my octagon and it records and plays back very good, any channels including UHD, one thing I noticed is the volume control is not to sensitive some times I move it either way and it does not make much difference on the loudness, I don,t know if is the image or my set-up.
