[QUOTE="el bandido, post: 1058847, member: 316102"] Octagon does not have a factory that makes set top boxes. Whoever manufactures the box for Octagon is responsible for the blindscan. uClan Ustym is similar and it would be expected that it will have a blindscan too. Entries for the SF8008 and uClan have been added to the blindscan plugin. See lines 837 and 840 in the link.
