You will be fine with a 3 connection/tuner line then.
Any more and you would need a line or lines that can handle up to 8 Connections, something which is rare and expensive [emoji16]

I only have the cable tuners on my box using a 1 x twin / dual dvb-c, its 1 feed in, tuner splits internally so you can watch one and record another, or record 2 and watch from the filelist as example. I use open atv 6, latest slyk hd skin, oscam_atv 1.2 11353. you can add an additional dvb-c if you like?

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)
Options wise for 3 cable tuners is limited, so I would try a FBC tuner receiver.
You need to clarify with your line Provider that you have 3 Connections.

Hi Willo, new guy here. Yourself and southsimon are making me think that the OCTAGON SF4008 4K UHD 2160p Linux Enigma 2 Receiver 2x Satellite DVB-S/S2/S2X Tuners is the setup for me. Could I ask you guys what the pros and cons of the images (OpenViX, OpenEIGHT and Open ATV) might be and the differences that they might bring? Currently a skybox user for the last 5/6 years so a fair step up in the tech by the looks of it but keen to broaden my knowledge. Much appreciated lads. Cheers in advance.

Thanks for the reply mate.
From what I've read earlier in this thread it looks like OpenViX is edging it. I have the box sitting in my basket on WOS but doing a final bit of recon before pulling the trigger on the sale:)
Giving it another 24hrs or so before committing. You got any opinion on the MEELO/VU+ Duo? I see from your earlier posts that you do like the SF4008 but these look around the same price range.
I also like the idea of the tablet/phone viewing option that the others supply, does the SF4008 offer anything similar?

Hi All,
i am also looking to upgrade from my h2s to better box and cable only since i now have VM broadband, been reading lots of threads on here and still trying to decide which box to go for. those who have the SF4008 could you confirm if you can like stream feeds on a mobile. e.g. at present from my h2s i can watch all the channels on my android phone via app called Dream Player, which is very ideal.

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.

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?

It's the processor speed why they have been purchased.
