To the question about reception of frequency 12722 H on 68,5East.
I am at the extreme limit to receive it with my antenna
In doing the test I noticed that the SX 88 is very sensitive.68°5E_12722_H-vert.jpg

I would have expected these to be around the same price as the Edision, as they are pretty much the same thing in different boxes.
Yes, we've been negotiating with Octagon, price has been reduced to £49.00 :)

12543H on 5 West Multistream. I think the SR/FEC has changed again. Flysat says 36510 2/3 but no luck with that.
Any thoughts anyone? Thank you

I've got a TBS 5520SE, that will do it :)
So have I, stuck on the shelf. Plugged it in, looked at everything and thought, i can't be bothered. There it sits. When I get round to it i will sell it along with the other never used clutter here.

This applies to the Edision Primo too.

Having altered the parameters and rescanned, I can't get them either.

Just for the record ive got a Octogan SX88 using a Darkmotor& Triax 64cm. Reception of the Ukraine DVB-T multistream feeds from Sirius 4.8E works perfectly.
Reception of music channel M-1 via 4.8e was the main reason for the purchase. As the M1 on Amos 4w is pretty useless even with a black ultra and 88cm.
Noticed French and Italian channels on 5w but not of much interest.. 12.5w sometimes breaks up maybe dvb-sx is weaker? Noticed VH1, Paramount, Deejay all free on Itailian dvb-t!
Buggy box wouldn't recommend as a main receiver apart for multistream use!
Surprise it drives my dark motor with no issues!!!
Comes with a very cheap power brick always unplug when going out!! haha
Now i need to decide which E2 reciever to buy which drives a motor with multi-stream!!!

If you have the previous version installed you will be prompted to update as long as you're connected to the internet.

I thought the version automatically downloaded was the FW version rather than SW version and therefore not as functionally rich. I have been in the habit of using the versions Stephan94 has been posting on here.

dear sx88(+) users, as per this thread I know there were issues in recording the french multistreams (5W). Since the main reason for me to buy this product would be to be able to schedule recordings on those streams, could you update me about the issue? Has it been fixed by the latests fw updates? I would really appreciate your feedbacks. Many thanks :)

If you use the command to change channel in the automatic recording section, it should work.
The problem, NOW, is no more the recording but the change of the channel in multistream.
