Are both the combo and DVB-S2 single models using the same firmware ?

I understand the combo was the first out of the stables, is it still a current model ?


Thanks in advance
 
Thanks. For the online searches the two models mentioned (I have not seen a twin S2 mentioned ) have similar pricing, so apart from the current consumption of the second tuner, are there any other advantages of purchasing the single tuner model ?

Is it a better tuner demod circuit (with regards to sensitivity or symbol rate range) ?
 
Hello

As you can see from the other thread the receiver purchased shortly after this thread developed a fault yesterday, a smell of plastic and/or semiconductor material and no front panel display.

Listen Up - Octagon sf8008 no output

plus a high pitched whine from inside. There is also a faint whiff of plastic. I only went out for half an hour as well. This receiver has an external power supply so I would suspect the only place where the noise might come from is the front panel display, but that is also dead. Will take the...

It has been connected to a DiSeqC motor and 80cm dish on the roof, the receiver was in standby (I was out when the fault occurred).

What do you suggest next ?

Regards
