@stephan94

Now You know 2 people.
Sx88 Can easily get 21,5 East multistream, but from Northern Italy You Need at least 150 cm of dish.

They have a Facebook page, so maybe raise the issue there?

Ah Lazarus, a good idea in theory, but I'm afraid I'm one of those Luddites who considers Facebook to be one of the most dangerous peace-time developments of all time, so I have an immoveable self-imposed bar to that particular avenue of pleasure, if it can thus be termed!

I suppose we have to wait and see if some other more enlightened box manufacturer brings out a similar Multi-stream capable box. In the meantime my Octagon 4008 is doing the biz. But it is jolly annoying that a box of such good value as the SX88 should fall at such a minor hurdle.

@Lazarus @mw963

Sorry, can you please explain this, I saw this today but just now remembered, what a point of this talk about FB in this thread? Our box connected to internet can be maybe spied from FB or some other side, linux of the receiver has hole to maybe spy us and indirectly our computers , I saw what our friend dxer @scopus said that we needed to enter the IP address of the octagon on our pc to access update option, but receiver continuosly connected with ethernet cable is privacy and security risk for users? I havent thaught about it never before, but your wird talk about it is reason for this thinking... Concerns are reasonable? Thus because Lazarus said:

"I did close my original FB account more the reasons you describe, but since starting a new account I have managed to tame the beast and I find it rather useful"

haha thus our friend Stephan has no smartphone...Where is the hammer to smash my smartphone, router, pc...and linux based receiver.... lol WTF SX6 is in that "black area" too...This will be maybe long night for smash.....;)haha

It was simply a comment that Octagon have a Facebook page, thus providing a further means to contact them with suggestions for enhancement eg re DD+.

The replies were merely general comments about the overall merits, based on personal preference and experience, about Facebook in general. Nothing sinister about our boxes being spied on!

I think I may be able to receive this transponder better with a little dish tweaking.(SX88 + 100cm Gibertini)

 

[Lazarus]

@World-of-Satellite are out of stock

No chance of a discount then. Is there?

Hello

You all have reason.
I have just tried of Paris with an antenna 1. 20 Ch. Master.
Reception is without problem.
I me recall to have tried at the beginning of August and it was not possible.
Now it works.

 

[dankargo]

I would be sold if this receiver supported 'Openwebif' and thus, streaming of channels over the network.

The SX88 managed to identify all the channels on a blind scan but unfortunately there was no signal on attempted viewing. I guess a stronger signal than average is required for this type of channel.

Yes that is correct.

 

[scopus]

Even OK here on the Precision 1.2..

 

[stephan94]

A trial in band C on the SES-6 40°W with the SX88 and my little Ch. Master 1.2 m
The LNB Band C is shifted by 6° of the focal point.
it is very very limited (you can also see the result with the TBS 6893), but the SX88
still finds the two frequencies with few dB.

I tried the new software

Sadley, I tried the new software but the fault of saving every position as "01" on 1.2 positioner is not solved. Any advice?

Hello

to store all positions in Disecq 1. 2 must be put every time
a cross on each satellite that stores.
since version 1. 04. 27 it works perfectly

ps:for now it is best not to use DreamBoxEdit, this causes errors in the frequencies.
