Just want to share my experience I bought sf8008 but returned it as the pic quality was bad and it was freezing a lot bought sx88+ much better than sf8008 on pic. Quality. But sx88+ is not 4K it’s HD.
Dish is 1 meter Gibertini xp with inverto black ultra lnb , 25meter wf100 and LG 4K. I think pic quality is excellent on my setup.
Heard vu+ has good pic. Quality. I did not try vu+ though.
Hope that’s help.

What do you mean by " the picture quality was bad"? When watching a SD transmission with the output set to 4K? When watching SD with the output set to SD and the TV up scaling? Do you think the colours were different?

Yes the colours temperature and sharpness was weird.
changing channels was delayed was not instant.
Freezing was another issue.

I have an SF8008 UHD and the pictures are very good, even the 4k test channels are amazing.

My new sf8008 twin arrived this morning. I've installed OpenVix and everything is fine. UHD demos displaying in 4k on my 4k tv!
