HI ALL!

This week I took the plunge and got myself an Octagon SX88 4K UHD box and I have to say I am impressed. Sadly, our TV is not 4K, but having said that, it still looks great even at 1080p. I know there are more expensive boxes on the market, but price was a factor for me. I am now thinking of moving my 1m Gibby and motor to a single pole on our shed. What can I expect to get beyond 45e and 15w. All replies welcomed. :-respekt

To the west there's 30°W and that's about it. To the east 52°E has a few interesting channels like Turkmensport and some sports channels with extremely poor video quality.

Does this box have a web interface?

I have ordered some brackets so it looks likely that I will be moving my dish and motor at some point. Thanks for the replies.

How is picture quality?
Any freezing problem?
