[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 1107145, member: 175144"] I am working through this in a methodical fashion. 1) Tuner chipset- same (RT720) 2) Tuner build - similar qualty 3) Tuner design - different (H9S includes a loopthrough circuit). I have used OpenATV since it is installed in both receivers, same release - 6.4 - and fully updated. Using a bespoke version in one without trying the same in the H9S (I think their equivalent is Hyperion, though I need to delve further) would be creating an unfair advantage. Since the thread title is 'Inferior tuner or software ?', then until I eliminate the loopthrough from the equation, currently the two receivers are performing almost identically. One thing I have found is the H9S jumps back to default symbol rate of 2-45MS/s, whereas the SF8008 remains on whatever I set it to, suggesting the Octagon developers have found a way of forcing the demodulator (and perhaps the Rafael tuner ) chip to step outside the manufacturers' comfort zones.
