You probably won't be able to,since looks like different hardware.
The real possibility would be to swap the dvb c/t tuner in octagon sf8008 for one DVBS2X from the same machine.
And still to see if both tuners are similar in pinout and board base.

But,since the SF8008 runs enigma 2,you could simply add an usb DVBS2x tuner ,or multiple tuners,and also using Vtuner through network.
Not sure but I would think is way easier this way than modify the hardware.

Which USB DVB-S2X tuner would you recommend?

I could not recommend any,since I don;t own any other DVBs2x capable tuner than the Octagon.
But you can see the TBS 5520/27 are a candidate.
Those are described to have linux drivers,would be a matter of compiling driver and modules for arm.
And maybe they are already available for the DM900/920,so might be simpler than we think.
As I read more,some images already support other TBS cards.

For octagon and dm900/920 you have a lot of multistreams 5w,12w,21E
