[QUOTE="lovelyperson, post: 1161721, member: 183338"] Decided to try, due to the increasing heat we are now encountering up to at least October, a somewhat earlier C-Band test with the low SR capability of the Octagon SF 8008 'SUPREME' model. 22.0ºw 3792 H 256 DVB-S ID: '3792H SID 0x01' 1.8m PF Marrafa - WSI model:ESX241 LNBF Low SR driver used today, 'hi-dvb.ko' designated 'Test 2' as uploaded by member 'suedschwede', thanks, in thread:- [URL="https://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/threads/octagon-sf8008-e2-4k-uhd.174449/page-47#post-1160799"]OCTAGON SF8008 E2 4K UHD[/URL] Intermittent reception with the 'SUPREME' whereas the earlier model SF8008 was noticeably more stable........still a nice result as I still find the 'SUPREME' with a less sensitive Avalink AVL 62x1 tuner compared to the Silicon Labs Si2166D in the earlier SF8008. The old faithful single C-Band WSI model: ESX241 came to the rescue as the Titanium (various) and others underperformed. Still regret never finding the ESX242 Twin!! :angry: As you know, there are a fleet of of 'Radio Maria' stations particularly using frequencies 3788 MHz to 3792 MHz and I do not have the gear to read the different .decimal seperations but have secured with multiple scans, different audio PID's and listening to the output reveals French and Portuguese audio. Other members with more dedicated devices can possibly share there findings, thanks. SNR under lock value is beneficial so the previous comment by member 'ocean04' ....... 'Silabs is better for weak DVB-S signals. AVL supports SNR under lock, but Silabs doesn't'. So for me proves to be very useful with the 'SUPREME'......... thanks 'ocean04' :Y [ATTACH type="full"]155938[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]155939[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]155940[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]155941[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]155942[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]155943[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
