I used to find WiFi adapters too fickle, so resorted instead to Homeplugs/Ethernet.

This discussion has reminded me to try WiFi again, as there's now a Repeater within spitting distance of the box concerned.

Like @Lazarus said I'll buy one when they sort out DD+, their sales would improve if they did.

Wait just a few days and get the SX88+ or get an Edision Primo :cool:

I got a message from Octagon through Facebook messenger which says "the current chipset will not support DD+. The SX88+ new model will come out in 2 weeks which will support dd+"

They get a bit touchy on Facebook if you ask them about Dolby Digtal Plus :-lmao they have removed my comments, I also gave them the link the the Edison box, that got removed also.

When the same question is asked more than 10 times, and the answer that it is not possible has already been given, I understand that we can delete messages that are no longer useful.

and give the link of another brand at octagon, try to Ford to put a link to Mercedes and you can see the reaction.

@stephan94 clearly Octagon have listened to user comments - It's quite an undertaking to bring out revised hardware, as per the upcoming SX88+, to solve the DD+ conundrum. Not just a relatively simple firmware upgrade, but a different chipset.

I didn’t see the same question ten times, I know a few other people also posted comments on that page they also removed them.

The best answer they could come up with is buy the new box, so yes I did tell them that I thought they had dropped the ball on that one.

I thought you are a beta tester for octagon and not an employee of them?

Why would Facebook comments upset a beta tester? Have I missed something?

No, I'm not an Octagon employee, but you can think what you want.
On the other hand I read what is written in the Octagon forum and I can tell you that this question has been asked a lot of times, because many people do not read unfortunately that has already been answered before asking this question.
to write always the same thing is useless.

facebook does not bother me, I'm not registered at facebook

Anyone fancy some harmless fun, head over to https://m.facebook.com/octagongermany/?locale2=en_GB

I have an Octagon sx88 - Does anyone know if I buy a sound bar and connect it to the audio output socket on the Octagon 88 satellite receiver if it will produce live French sound on 5 west?
Thanks,
Mooncamm

No, been tried with a DD audio amp, does not work. The chipset in the current model does not support DD.

Still awaiting the launch of the SX88+.

And the subsequent howls of outrage if Suppliers try to fulfil new orders with old stock .....
