You will be fine with a 3 connection/tuner line then.I probably would only record 2 and watch another anyway
SouthSimon what image and setup do you have on your octagon what tuners and how many can you watch and record at the same time ...as I am on cable
If you want to record 2 Channels and watch a third then you need a triple tuner or a FBC tuner (which will do up to 8 channels)So if I just want to record 2 programmes on 2 different channels and watch another on another channel. I will be ok with just the one line.......so dangerous which box would you go for
This is the one: OCTAGON SF4008 4K UHD 2160p Linux Enigma 2 Receiver 2x Hybrid DVB-C/T/T2 Tuners 1x Satellite DVB-S/S2/S2X
It uses the oscam softcam and it can handle N or C lines. Personally I've always used N lines.
ViX will be an option soon I would have thought. It only takes 2 minutes to flash it yourself though.
In my opinion ViX is the best of the 3. OpenEight is a bit on the basic side and I found ATV was very slow navigating the menus.
I'm very happy with OpenViX and it's a fantastic box. It's edged my HD51 into second place now.
I haven't got a Vu+ so can't really say. I don't bother with streaming either but I'm sure you'll be able to.
I don't think you'll regret getting the SF4008, there seems to be plenty of support for it.
I very rarely stream, but looking at the app it says it supports ARM - Device support: Added support for ARM-V7, ARM64 and x86 devices
I will give it a test and report back?
Yes if you dont mind, look fwd to your feedback. Also that device support list is for Android handsets running on different CUP platforms.
I dont have Andriod so sorry cant help from that point, but I download an app to my iphone called en2player. Easy to setup and install had no problems, worked really well. streaming was good.
It's the processor speed why they have been purchased.are there even any 4k channels available you can pick up? or did you guys go for this box more because of the faster processor and number of tuners?
