- Universal quad LNB, ZGemma H7S w OpenVix, PC w Kodi + TVHeadend w Hauppauge WinTV Nova S2 PCI board, Digibit Twin Sat>IP router; LAN w gigabit fibre

I have a spare LNB port that I'd like to make use of by putting a Sat>IP server in the attic (I have an ethernet switch there for CCTV) which I can use with Kodi+TVHeadend.
I tried a Telestar Digibit Twin; it seemed to fit the bill nicely and worked for a while. However, it has died and will go back. I'm reluctant to try another having since read of too many similar experiences (on Amazon.de).
What receivers, if any, work out of the box or with the addition of a plugin (which one)? I'm already running a ZGemma H7S with OpenVix 6.6, which doesn't support an IP server and I can't connect the spare LNB to it in any case. It also hangs too often to ever think of putting one in the attic (2 or 3 times a week at least).
I need a box with Ethernet that can stand being in hot/cold attic or which has decent Wi-Fi, for installation in a spare room wi no wired network.
Am due to pick up a used ZGemma H2.S and will try MinisatIP on that; I've read it works.
However, I'm happy to consider a new receiver, incl combination receiver (one DVB-S2 + one DVB-T2), if anyone has any recommendations. No hard drive required. Intended use is serving a LibreElec (Kodi) box with TVHeadend and simple IPTV client.
Octagon SF8008? Something else?
