OCTAGON SX88 H.265 HEVC HD with Milti-Stream & Hardware Blind Scan:thum:

Excellent little receiver that I bought a few days ago,

Blind scan takes approx 7 to 12 min as it scans 10.7 to 12.75 with good low symbol rate feed capture,

TS file recordings made on the SX88 play back OK on my PC running SW version 1.04.18.

The blind-scan works fine for normal transponders,

It does not actually blind scan multi stream transponders as this sort of a Blind Scan will take ages to complete so this data is embedded in the data base as to Blind Scan these will require a very powerful PC and PC card like TBS.

You do need active the Multi-Stream transponders by making your 1st scan on a satellite with Multi-Stream active & Blind-Scan,
After this just use the normal Blind Scan without activating the Multi-Stream in the scan.

OK, just took delivery of the SX88 and flashed with FW v1.04.17.

Just had a frustrating hour or so trying to get to the CAM menu "Menü - Einstellungen: PIN 6363"... Fixed now: "Einstellungen" translates to "Settings" (thank you Google!) & not "Installation" as I had naively self-translated :hammer:

Update:- Blind Scan Receivers:-

1/Technomate TM5302
*2/OCTAGON SX88 H.265 HEVC HD
*3/Amiko A4K UHD H264
4/Technomate TM5502
5/Technomate TM6902HD

7/SpiderboxHD9000
8/Technomate TM5402HD M1
9/Technomate TM5402HD M3

* These receivers scan the whole Ku band so are a bit slower due to no selection of scanned frequency,

The other receivers scan any part of the Ku band that you select so are faster for finding live sports feeds.
