Recently I have acquired two new handsets: H9 Twin and Edision Osmini4K. I also bought an octagon SF8008 single and I am waiting to receive.

So let's go to considerations:

I have a Vuzer4K and Zgemma H9s for a long time. Now, with more these two (Osmini4k and H9 Twin), I can make a comparison on some relevant questions. I'm waiting my SF8008 to test low and high symbol rates.

In the course of the topic I will update with pictures at the right time.

Initially I would like to make a basic comparison only to blindscan in the band C. Later, I will make a table with information side by side.

Vuzer4k: It makes blind search in the band C, but with Symbol Rate limited to 45. T2-MI only works with Astra-SM. Can tune symbol rate below 1000.

Zgemma H9S: It does not look blind in the band C with correct frequencies. T2-MI only works with Astra-SM. Can tune symbol rate below 1000.

Zgemma H9 Twin: It does not look blind in the band C with correct frequencies. T2-MI only works with Astra-SM. Can tune symbol rate below 1000.

Edision MINI 4K: It makes blind search including native T2-MI in the band C, but with some problems in Eutelsat 3E (second multistream) and, in the Eutelsat 8W, finds the frequencies with symbol rate 60,000, but without channels. It does not lock with symbol rate below 1000. More details here:

LOW symbol rates

Test Satellite 45W: 3834 V 480

Zgemma and Vu+ zeo4k: lock OK and tune channels, but only "manual scan"

EDISION OS MINI 4K: No signal.

I did tests: 75W and 113W too and no signal (symbol rates: 740, 651 and 883)


Eutelsat 3E (4063 L 33900) - T2-MI/MIS:

Edision OS MINI 4K: Availink AVL6261: Signal OK 2 MIS, but found channels only on first MIS; the second MIS appear data channel only and no channels

First MIS (found on blindscan including several TV channels)

Eutelsat 8W (4153 L 60000) - T2-MI/MIS:

Edision OS MINI 4K: Availink AVL6261: Signal OK (sattelite finder/manual scan), blindscan found after several times/tests, but no channels.

Found on blindscan
