    Octagon SF8008 - any good?

    i have an opportunity to buy a used Octagon SF8008 combo. Does anyone here have any experience with it and is it good? I already have an OSMIO4K, i like the gigabit LAN on the Octagon, but not sure how the rest of the performance and useability comp[ared to the MIO4K thoughts?

    Reception problem

    Hello folks, One of my friends has a 10ft C-band dish that has been working reasonably well until a few weeks ago. Now he's seeing signal quality jump all over the place, with very difficult reception on channels that used to be fine. It's happening on most satellites but there's a clear...

    Enigma2 skins

    I'm playing a bit with various Enigma2 images, just out of curiosity. I'm otherwise using TNAP 4.2 with the Glamour Aura skin (the default skin, if I remember correctly) One thing that I find challenging is the user interface... While I'm very much used to TNAP since version 3.1, I find the...

    Express AM8 @ 14W

    I have a 10 ft Winegard Quadstar, that can "see" 30W to about 123W at all times, and as far as 135W in the winter with some degradation the furthest west it goes. In the East however, I used to get 1 or 2 transponders on 27.5W and a few more on 22W C-Band, but not anymore (I guess there's...

    Edision SL-2 LNBF - review

    As you may remember, Michael (KE4EST) and Casey (from HyperMegaSat) recently ran a giveaway contest, and the prize was an Edision LNBF. The contest came with a catch: the winner had to commit to writing a review of the LNBF. I was the lucky winner, so now is the time to uphold my end of the...

    133W problems?

    I just saw a post at Rick's forum saying that Galaxy 15 @ 133W is having station-keeping problems and that the services might be moved to 121W as a failover. Let's see what happens in the next few days

    need help with OSMIO4K+

    My MIO4K+ seems to have seen better days... It no longer display any video It seems to boot fine, I can access it via openWebIF, see the screen in there, but on the TV, all I get is the initial EDISION grey slide then the skin TNAP 4.1 background, then the screen goes blank while the bargraph...

    a few questions about Enigma2 and TNAP4.1 in particular

    I just got an OSMIO4K+ and am setting it up to be the main receiver, in the living room, and want to make it as functional as I can. Among the features I want to use is the timeshift capability. I also will want to record shows. I was wondering how Enigma2 manages disk space. My worry is that...

    DLNA server on OSMIO4K

    I'm trying to use the DLNS server on the TNAP 3 image (miniDLNA?) but am running into 2 problems: - it caches the content of the hard drive (meta data) and does not seem to update it, so it quickly ends up displaying an obsolete list of recordings. I have not found a way to update it. - I can't...

    Can someone help identify this 10-ft dish?

    Yesterday, together with a fellow SatGuys member, we rescued a 10-ft C-Band dish. It looks like it's quite a bit older than my Winegard. The mount is quite rusted. The ribs and mesh panels are in good condition. The holes in the mesh seem a bit larger than on my Winegard, so might not work well...

    AMIKO Pausing live TV on the Amiko miniHDre

    Is it possible to pause live TV on the miniHDre? If I hit Pause, the picture freezes but the audio continues, and it seems that if I hit pause again it jumps to the current picture (not 100% certain of that last part). Am I missing something? I tried this with a small USB thumb drive that is...

    Configuration editing

    I'm reloading my OsMio4k with TNAP 3.2. So far so good, I did a clean install, applied my custom satellite.xml, and tested a few things. Now I know I can edit the channel list with dreamboxEdit, and also use that to create favorites. But is there a way to edit the satellite configuration...

    T2-MI transponders

    Has anyone managed to receive any of the T2-MI transponders on SES6 @40.5W? last year I erroneously posted that I was able to scan in those transponders on my Mio4K using TNAP but I was mistaken. While the MIO4K is able to lock on those transponders (while my Amiko can't), it only scans in a...

    no signal on 78W Venesat/Bolivar?

    can you guys check if you are receiving 78W? Tonight I can't seem to even see it on my spectrum analyzer. I am able to get Arsat @81W C Band and Amazonas C Band @61W. I am usually getting a decent signal on 78W, with TLT being a bit touchy, but Telesur and others quite strong

    scanning 58W 3840H and 3880H on Enigma2 STBs

    I noticed that when I blindscan 58W with the OSMIO4K, it never finds the content of 3880H transponder (France24, Arirang, CGTN), and instead it "finds" some stuff that doesn't exist on 3840H (France 24 French, CGTN Français) but might have existed there in the past (France24). To be precise, the...

    Hispasat 30W4 moving

    Looks like Hispasat 30W4 (replaced by 30W6 at 30W) is now moving west and will be renamed Hispasat 143W-1 and will be operated by Hispasat for Intelsat, apparently to partially replace Intelsat 29e (that was at 50W and failed earlier this year) FCC Engineering Statement...

    Timer problem on the Mio?

    I just had a strange incident with the scheduler on my Mio4k. I had a few timers set to record some programs every Thursdays, and that had run flawlessly for the past few weeks. If I'm not mistaken, last week I realized while it was recording, that the show was a rerun and I manually stopped the...

    87W C-Band on the Edision receiver

    I just ran into a surprising problem when scanning 87W C-Band... I do a blind scan for ITC channels and as expected it finds the 5 usual suspects: - FolkTV - ICTV - ZNS - Parliament - OurTV after the blind scan completes, the receiver shows the list of recently scanned services, and I can tune...

    small wasp nest in LNBF feedhorn

    the cap on my new Titanium C2-PLL is a bit loose and fell off. I found it but didn't get a chance to put it back on for a while, and of course some evil wasps took advantage of my laziness and started building a small nest deep in the LNBF. Is it safe to use wasp/hornet spray? Or is that a...

    OS Mio 4K - What's your preferred image and why?

    I have the Edision receiver and have been running the TNAP image, and just over the past few days started looking into other images. I have installed openVIX and PurE2 I can definitely see many differences, even though it's clear that it's still the same core functionality. I was wondering...

    Power outage in Argentina and Uruguay - some channels affected

    there's a massive power outage that is affecting most of Argentina and Uruguay right now. I noticed that Canal 11 Salta and Canal 8 Mar Del Plata on 30W are affected. Canal 11 is totally silent, no carrier, no signal at all. Canal 8 MDP is playing an animated logo in a loop. Canal Luz does not...

    EPG on Hispasat

    I just noticed something weird... On Hispasat 30W, the EPG displays content for the Cuban channels, as expected. But when I display the EPG in list mode, it shows the same EPG content for Canal 7 SDE (Argentina) as it does for Cubavision. This is on TNAP on OSmio4K

    Multiboot on Edision OS Mio 4K

    I have the OS MIO 4K with the SatDreamGr image (TNAP). I'd like to try some other images such as OpenVIX and maybe PurE2. What would be the steps for installing those other images while preserving the existing SatDreamGr? I have found some tutorials but none were a perfect match - either for...

    a few questions about the Edision OS MIO 4K

    I recently broke the piggy bank and bought the Edision receiver from Bryan. As usual, top notch service, the receiver was delivered in under 48 hours! I am totally new to Linux-based receivers, and did expect a bit of a learning curve, and there it is... I'm learning new stuff everyday. I did...
