Do USB tuners work on it?

 

[bellejt]

do not know but has build in tuners and has a good review and cheap box to use as second box (fall back tuner)

 

[abu baniaz]

Well, I have the previous model, it has screwed drivers and there is no indication that they will be fixing it. If you check debug log, it shows driver errors. Newer model will no doubt have the same problem.

Abu, for some one that always pushes to get an answer to the original question - that is a way out response!
I guess you have an issue with usb tuners???

.. and to answer the question, there is no ViX image for the Trio ... unless you build your own.

oke thx.Seams a good box and cheap as second box but not supported so can not buy it.Is there a box with same possiblitys for same price ?

If you want a 2nd box that can be used as a fallback receiver then I would jump for one of the Zgemma‘s... I use a straight H9 as a fallback receiver (with the E2 root on a SD card) and the performance is great.
It just depends on what you really need for this 2nd receiver....... most of these HiSilicon boxes are really very similar under the covers.

The Amiko Viper 4K and Octagon SF8008 are variants of the same receiver.

 

[bellejt]

the octagon seems a very pretty alternative.Really because I have a connection free on my LNB's so I kan use the DVB-S2X on that box.Will go for the model with the DVBT2 option.Unfortunately wos does not have that model for me to send to belgium

 

[bellejt]

just seen that wos now sells the model for 99 pounds.Is this cheaper than 120 euro's including shipping costs ? Just by means off sponsoring the board when it is the same price as shipping from germany

 

[twol]

So a pound is worth on exchange about 1.06 euros - Brexit has done wonders for the pound - I would buy now from WoS before the prices go up!!

 

[bellejt]

99 p = 111 euro's + unknown shipping costs. Maybe Wos can give an answer here for shipping to belgium.

 

[ronand]

You can get a shipping estimate on the website. 2 day delivery is 8.91

 

[bellejt]

oke thx but then unfortunately it comes to same price as from belgium.Easyer and 2 years warranty without shipping cost .Thx anyway.

 

[ronand]

WOS gives 2 year warranty on the SF8008. Its your choice where you buy but at least state the facts correctly.

 

[bellejt]

did not say they do not give that warranty.Only I have no shipping cost here and extra shipping costs if something is wrong with box.

 

[twol]

German Web sites give 2 year warranty - thats standard for any hardware
I get ##### off by (other than WoS) British web sites that have no clue about EU laws
