Octagon SF8008 Supreme

Does the recall remote control button work on your receiver?

[el bandido]

I will see what can be done about that...Have you tried using Hotkey to map the recall remote control button?

[el bandido]

Recall key has been mapped. Should work in the next update or build.

A sales video is shown in the link below. This sales video is comical as it shows the SF8008 Supreme scanning a satellite with predefined transponders (Not Blindscan). The video shows a 400 symbol rate transponder being scanned, but then the video is immediately cut so the result of the 400 symbol rate scan cannot be seen. Of course we know the 400 symbol rate scan failed. But it is kinda funny to watch them hide it.

Sounds like the good old Zgemma H7 'blindscan' ploy. Ever see the blindscan .xml files on the fatman's site? Holy mackerel !!

A 32 APSK transponder has been active 24/7 for a few days on 89w. This transponder is a golf feed and will disappear soon. Mostly, anything below a 4.5 meter dish will be marginal for 32 APSK feeds. The Supreme is marginal at best on this transponder while the regular SF8008 fails to lock it. So there is a slight advantage with the Supreme on this particular feed.

Thought I would try it for yuks..... best I could get was 11-12 db with no lock.

[el bandido]

My dish system doesn't do much better. The 32APSK locks and scans sometimes. Close to 14db is needed for an error free channel on my system. 32APSK could be considered the "Holy Grail" in satellite feed reception. It is good to see the Supreme working on 32APSK.

Don't you use a TBS card also? How does it compare?
Have you tried bumping the freq./sr around a bit to see what comes of it?
