To record then, could be enough.....
On the other hand records are currently without subtitle.

What programs have subtitles on 40 ° East?

M6 and TF1 have not continually subtitles, It's just that for some programs (rare)

Yes but TF1 is sent not subtitle in the Multistreams
here you can see an example. (stream with a TBS 6983)
the sub titles is announced, but in reality there is no subtitle.

Sorry, but I keep my idea. Octagon 4008, E2, can handle sub. Try

No problem.
The SX88 can handle subtitles as 4008 but only when there are subtitles.
The only difference between the SX88 and 4008: the SX88 does not record subtitles.
a exemple with the record from 4008 TF1: no subtitle as the SX884008 untertitel TF1 MIS.jpg

Series has always Subs.
I am not convinced... My tests are for "not working properly".
But I thank You for your commitment.
Ciao

Here we do not talk about encryption!

You have a U2C Denys,
why do not you ask all your questions U2C Denys forum?

stephan94,

I wonder if the SX88 has a hidden menu for setting up the HDMI video? Compared to all other inputs to my TV the SX88 produces dark pictures.

Will there be a database editor for this receiver? Mine arrived yesterday and I would like to add in some missing satellites. I use a traditional motor and prefer my satellites in order. Belintersat1 is missing as well as ABS 3a and I would like to add in Bulgariasat when it switched on.

Octagon says they are working on an editor. All you can do for now is manually add satellites using the receiver.
Diseqc 1.2 motor controls are hard coded to the satellite number. So if you select the third satellite in the list, the receiver automatically assigns the diseqc 1.2 number to 3. This is not good.

Other satellites at this end of the arc can be added as & when they become active.

If an editor does not materialise then I will have to use EW5A C band so that I can fit in Bulgariasat @ 1.9 east & shuffle the satellites around 3 east to 5 west.

One of the firmware updates recently added a very updated satellite list, including all C, Ku and Ka satellites.
This needed a factory reset to enable itP1010003.JPG

Thanks for the advice. The satellite position numbers being positioner numbers could be good if we could allocate the position ourselves ....which I had on the X2 premium receiver. So far, I miss the Pos button from the Technomate for fine tuning and the very good spectrum analyser from my Dr HD D15 which was far superior to the Technomate analyser. Sadly the IR receiver started malfunctioning making controlling the receiver impossible.

I am getting used to working with the Octagons logic and hope this will be my main controlling and blind scanning receiver using my other Octagon for UHD and DVBS2X.

It would be so useful if these updates were available over the internet when you switch on... ie the receiver says updates are available.

So easy to miss one of these if you away from the PC for a while as I was on holiday
