HI Guys..
Still very nice support for the SF Series.. but I think we are ALL WAITING impatiently for the Octagon HD Series

So here some News from the Octagon HD scene for you...
Should be coming around the middle of March 2008.


SF 718
Just like the SF518 but with USB + LAN
and of course PVR Function.......( new Chips designed for the Future)

SF918
DVB-S2 Tuner (HDTV), YUV, CI + Cardreader, USB + PVR + SATA + LAN + HDMI+ VFD Display has Memory for 10.000 Channels...
the new 1000MHz Proc is supposedly Fantastic
passiv cooling, so NO loud Noises.
Software is NOT ready as yet..!
Extreme-Zapping / Channel Surfing-Chopping absolutely NO problem.
Recording on Ext HDD incl. Timeshift NO Problem.
(If you want you can use a Memory Stick to Record short Scenes onto)

Brilliant AGC (Automatic Signal Increase Function)
Using this Function you can Tune the arriving Signal Input individually
from -10dB to + 10dB and Store...... especially for Weak Signals 1A.
First on the Market .
The Search/ Scan on ALL Satellites is BRILLIANT.. fastest around apparently.
Things like watching JPG's , playing mp3's NO problem.
There is even a Menu Function to Change Backgrounds in the Boot Logo And Wallpapers for the Menu or Radio Screens..
these Functions are worries of the past.

there are several ways to Load the S/W Updates and Softcam ..
and Last BUT not least Network Interface Connection..
on both Receivers.......the SF718 and the SF918

This is going to be really a Beast when it finally arrives...
I for one cannot WAIT.....

Start saving Lads...
Price around €250 - €300..

NO Pics as yet BUT our brother Efe and I will keep you Informed.
As soon as I see or get anything more I will Post here..OK
that's ALL for now...enjoy reading.

PS... One more thing before I forget ..The Remote on the New Models will NOT conflict with your Older Models .

Big Thanks to Andrew007 for translating and getting info for us;)
