OCTAGON SX88 H.265 HEVC HD

[campag5242]

400 Transponders ???
this is not possible, even with 9 degrees East.
satellites that are most transponders (Astra or Hot Bird) have up to 120 transponders, the two sets that makes 240.
Must occasionally delete Feeds with the SX88 has a BlindScan this is the advantage before each BlindScan can erase everything.

If I'm lazy & don't delete feeds TPs, then I do hit 400 at 10E.

Yes to find feeds, I find it's best start afresh with a TP list comprising just the fixed transponders, which for me at 10E, should include those at 9E.

Delete the satellite's channels before scanning those fixed TPs, zapping to the last channel found.

Blind scan next, and all newly found feeds will appear after that previous last channel.

A desktop channel editor would make maintiaing that core list of fixed TPs easier.

Very occasionally, the SR of a feed as found by the SX88 does not work when I enter the details in my main box eg SX88 says 7200, SF4008 locks only with 7120. It's happened with one other SR around the 4000's too (I didn't make a note of the specifics). Anyone else see that? Fixable?

 

[stephan94]

This happens between different receivers or cards TBS.
There are several elements that are necessary to receive a frequency.
antenna, LNB, coaxial cable, receiver all make a mixture, and the result
can sometimes be slightly different from one device to another.
I think there is nothing to correct for such small differences.
Here is an example of Astra 19 ° East with 2 TBS6983 card.
you see
it is not 22000 or 27500.
So the data one may not correspond to the data of the other.

Yes, it is reliable on that receiver.
A difference of SR is normal, even in frequency and using the same equipment, if you already use 2 different equipment, the difference could be more important.
I fish with the VU+DUO2 and if you perform 2 blind searches in 15 minutes without touching the antenna, you can have important differences, you can skip some TP/frequency, same with the SR value, +/-100 for example and it does not match the "official" channel.

It touches to see the "vices" that the equipment has and to take them like reference of departure.
That's why the tests you do at Hispasat.
Personally it hurts me more the automatic frequency control when looking for TP already recorded.
Continue on other satellites.
PS: For 75 € I do not ask for miracles, I can now compare between 2 SX88.

Si, es fiable en ese receptor.
Una diferencia de SR es normal, incluso en la frecuencia y usando el mismo equipo, si ya usas 2 equipos distintos, la diferencia pude ser mas importante.
Pesco con el VU+DUO2 y si realizas 2 busquedas ciegas en 15 minutos sin tocar la antena, puedes tener importantes diferencias, se puede saltar algun TP/frecuencia, igual con el valor de SR, +/- 100 por ejemplo y no coincide con el "oficial" del canal.

Toca ver los "vicios" que tiene el equipo y tomarlos como referencia de partida.
Por eso las pruebas que realice en Hispasat.
Personalmente me duele mas el control automatico de frecuencia al buscar TP ya grabados.
Continuara en otros satelites.
PD: Por 75€ no pido milagros, ahora puedo comparar entre 2 SX88.

 

[campag5242]

If so, it would be better then for the SX88 to output the raw SR it found... I can only assume it 'snaps to' or is 'quantised to' known SRs in its current implementation... I've yet to see a value between 7120 & 7200.

 

[stephan94]

Here is a Blindscan made on 21 ° 5 East.
Comparison with the SR of Flysat.
You can see that the few differences are very minimal.
We can not consider this a problem.
It should not ask engineers to lose their time solve problems that I do not know exist.
There are a few other hard points to change.

As the SX88 is clearly selling well right across Europe, perhaps now is the time for Octagon to broaden their horizons beyond Germany clients and purchase a Dolby D+ licence.

Sales would rocket.

 

[campag5242]

@stephan94 the examples you gave are trivial differences... 1-4 k symbols/sec out, sure not a problem.

The (admittedly rare) occurances I mention are 80 ks/s off, unlockable. I saw it last night again on Arqiva HD3 @ 10E... 7200 reported, 7120 usable & posted elsewhere in feeds forums as such.

No, not a high priority issue, I can adjust for it manually... but next time I see this, I'll post "live" to let others report what their sx88 blind scan finds.

@campag5242
In other teams with blind search that tripled the price, similar errors.
In the spectrum analyzer I have (2000€- year 2008) the error is more important in the frequency / SR.
In digital spectrum analyzers, similar response.
Really, it's average.
I have 2 Vu + DUO2 that I use for blind search, they do not measure the same.
Distinct LNB, different tuner, distinct antenna.

De verdad, esta dentro de la media.
Tengo 2 Vu+DUO2 que uso para busqueda ciega, no miden lo mismo.
Distinto LNB, distinto tuner, distinta antena.

@stephan94
In blind search Hispasat, the SR is very precise, in the frequency fault up to 1Mhz, it is within the average, very well.
I will look out of curiosity in 21'5ºE, very difficult to filter with 19'2ºE so stuck.

En busqueda ciega Hispasat, el SR es muy preciso, en la frecuencia falla hasta 1Mhz., esta dentro de la media, muy bien.
Mirare por curiosidad en 21'5ºE, muy dificil filtrar con 19'2ºE tan pegado.

Congratulations, the selected date, December 28, the day of the Holy Innocents, is not selected year for the purchase.

Felicidades, la fecha seleccionada, 28 de diciembre, dia de los Santos Inocentes, no se año seleccionado para la compra.
Dolby D+ licence.

PS: Sorry.

Are these rare problems appear at frequencies where the program is encrypted?

 

[campag5242]

Yesterday's instance most certainly was an encrypted feed. I canot recall regarding the other times.

I'll be more diligent in my observations for future occurrances. Thanks and keep up the good work.

 

[campag5242]

Heads up... Eutelsat 7.0E Arquiva HD3 encrypted feed (12510H 7120) live now.

SX88 blind scan reports SR bang on 7200... again Octagon SF4008 only locks with SR 7120 +/- 26

 

[stephan94]

I just tried,
it works perfectly with my SX88.
So I think it can come from a marriage with another component of your installation,
which sends perhaps slightly different information.

I saw him very late with other subjects.
Just gave me time to search with a deco, I put a photo, minutes later turned off the feed and I could not use the SX88.

These are the fisheries of then (second photo), looking at which are active and see which values you have of frequency and SR.
As you will see in fishing, I have the same values stanley_cassidy.

Lo vi muy tarde liado con otros temas.
Solo me dio tiempo a buscar con un deco, pongo una foto, minutos mas tarde apagaron el feed y no pude usar el SX88.

Estas son las pescas de entonces (segunda foto), mirando cuales estan activas y ver que valores tienes de frecuencia y SR.
Como veras en la pesca, tengo los mismos valores stanley_cassidy.

We fish another if we have time, we are several.
Pescamos otro si tenemos tiempo, ya estamos varios.
Launched blind search without MTS and compared results from 3 facilities.

Could this be a firmware issue? What version are you using in the SX88?

 

[Tururu]

Ultima version/Last version..1.04.22
Valores muy similares/Very similar values.

 

[sat-tv-fan]

I just watched the reception of Yemen TV in the North of Bavaria
7 dB, it's much better than Paris.
InView attachment 109985 View attachment 109986 Paris In at Paris the C band LNB really disturb the reception.

Just going through this thread now, what receiver is this from please ?

 

[Lazarus]

I note from the spec that Internet Radio is featured.

Has anyone tried it?

SWMBO wants easy to use Internet Radio and I want Multistream, so despite the DD+ shortcoming, the SX88 is firming up on our Wish List.
