[QUOTE="Adam792, post: 1104648, member: 330868"] I got the mini UHD version of the SF8008 this week, I’m pretty impressed with it. I like that you get the multiboot with both Enigma2 and the Octagon/Edision LinuxOS (which I like using mainly). The DVB-T2/C tuner is a nice touch, and it decodes the Freeview HD EPG out of the box on both OSes (the EPG for the HD channels is standard EIT but compressed, so without the right processing you just get garbled text for most programmes). It also orders the channels in the list by their Freeview channel number (LCN) on the Linux side. I noticed an issue with Abertis (Spanish DTT on 30°W) in LinuxOS at first, where the higher bitrate encapsulated services would glitch, but a reboot seems to have fixed this. Another key thing I’ve noticed is that the picture quality on the box is pretty good. It especially seems to do a very nice job of upscaling SD channels, even some of the grottier 544x576 blurryvision Freeview ones. [/QUOTE]
