With a TBS 5925 interface?

The TBS 5925 is not necessary, Octagon SF4008 is capable to open multistream services with proper firmware and image installed.

Hello aranycsapat and thanks,

I think T2-MI is open with stream Relay !

I think not, is the new firmware upgrade, that allow the SF 4008 to open also the T2-MI multistream services. The stream-relay is not mentioned.

Hi,

In the picture below, you can see a part of a channel list with the 3 transponders
04.8e 12188,H,IS=10 T2-MI
04.8e 12188,H,IS=20 T2-MI
04.8e 12341,H,IS=30 T2-MI
First sou have to choose one of them (to lock the tuner) and then you can open a channel from this one.
It is really stream relay!

But before you have to install "astra-sm to de-encapsulates T2-MI.

Big thanks to "athoik"

Yeah looks like a very interesting box I've reading all the comments on the forums & once they sort out the blind scan then I might get one, but 10/10 to Octagon for their marketing & support to their customers a lot more customer focused than others.

Regards :thum:

Software or hardware limitation? What about internal tuner? Please note that if tuner is not hardware blind scan capable, it will be always a bad quality blind scan. We saw with Vu+, it needs TBS5925 to really add good blind scan and multistream capabilities.

I think it is software limitation...

DescriptionThe Si21662D integrates two separate high-performance digital demodulators for the DVB-S2/S and DVB-S2X standards into a single compact package. Leveraging Silicon Labs' proven digital demodulation architecture, the Si21662D achieves excellent reception performance while significantly minimizing front-end design complexity, cost, and power dissipation. Connecting the Si21662D to a dual satellite tuner, results in a high-performance and cost optimized TV or STB front-end solution.
The satellite reception allows demodulating widespread DVB-S, DIRECTV™ (DSS), DVB-S2, DIRECTV™ (AMC) legacy standards, and new Part II of DVB-S2 (S2X) satellite broadcast standard. A zero-IF interface (differential) allows for a seamless connection to market proven satellite silicon tuners. It also integrates two DiSEqC™ 2.0 LNB interfaces for satellite dish control and, for each satellite demodulator, an equalizer to compensate for echoes in long cable feeds from the LNB to the satellite tuner RF input.
Variable Coding and Modulation (VCM), QPSK/8PSK, 8/16/32APSK demodulation schemes and broadcast services profile are the main specifications of the DVB-S2/S2X demodulator. Silicon Labs' innovative LDPC and BCH decoding architecture delivers best-in-class reception while exhibiting low power dissipation.
The Si21662D offers an on-chip blind scanning algorithm, as well as blind lock function.
The Si21662D embeds two independent programmable transport stream interfaces which provide a flexible range of output modes, including a cross-bar functionality, and are fully compatible with all MPEG decoders or conditional access modules to support any customer application.

Is possibile to have a miniguide to make it?
Or better, the set of file needed (astra-conf, bouquet and scripts..)
I've installed the astra-sm with success, but other instructions made in the official guide are very hard to make for me.
