-. REC VFD ICON issue fixed (SF4008-I-52)
-> REC symbol in the display in standby fixed.
-. Lip Sync Issue fixed.
-. FastScan issue fixed.
 
It will be as it is already included in the OE-A
 
Problem is the wait is becoming a bit long. There are many things that need to be fixed, but for months the main focus is Kodi? At least one new receiver (H7) will be out soon that has hardware similar to the SF4008 with Kodi already running.

H7? get a proper box. or get another device to run kodi
 
Can the drivers be installed manually? If so where can we download them from?

Should be in the daily updates if running OpenAtv 5/6 if it vix you will have to wait for the next update when ever that is:thumbsup:
 
where is kodi? stuff the rec icon problem lol
Stuff Kodi. When are we going to get fixes for PLS Combo and a Blindscan binary. After all this is a DVB receiver, not a media player.

Agree - think they took their eye off what is important and also have been swamped by their own marketing on this receiver.
 
So all the rhetoric about Octagon being more in touch than VU+ Didn't pan out then?

Well, they constantly keep communicating (better than any other outfit), but I think they have perhaps found Arm, E2 and customer expectations (partly through their own Marketing hype) a bigger learning curve than they expected :)
 
New drivers coming thick and fast now. It's the vtuner bit that interests me, will test tomorrow probably.

Looks like PLS Combo is a hardware issue. Silabs not capable apparently. So far only one transponder transmitting in this mode.
 
Yes, too bad about that.

I quickly tested vtuner and was able to record from the single DVB-C tuner in the third slot and also DVB-C from a remote box, both recordings ok now.
