All the Octagon SD range are do au S*Y Card, but can not tell just yet needs to test, i cant see why Octagon HD one will not do same.

[paul01609]

hope so m8,this reciver sounds like its up my street just need a release date now

[mrbleu500]

This receiver looks awfully similar to the Next YE 2000 SUPER HDTV...

Which one is the clone? :Angel_anim:

[mrbleu500]

Another question, the photos of the receiver shows the display, and it has 1080p as one of the HD options...?

The spec and the manual lists 1080i as a supported output, but not 1080p...

Future-proofing perhaps?

[efeoglu]

I been told by German guys works ok 1080i and 1080 p.. we will see soon..

[mrbleu500]

Thanks efe, I have also noticed another receiver, the SAB Ultimate HD Super Plus is identical to the Octagon. Checked the firmware, and same headers :)

Looks like several "manufacturers" are rebadging this OEM unit as their own, makes a change from loads of manufacturers badging their boxes as Dreambox :smash:

SAB unit is cheaper, only €250, I may give this one a try instead...

[efeoglu]

Yes looks same but is not same spec and no e sata, i dont know much about Sab, most important is support, Octagon is well supported box thats for sure!!!

[ceyer]

Hi,

do you know if there will be a box with 2 internal Cardreaders available?
Got 2 subs and always trouble with using CAMs

[mrbleu500]

Just checked and the SAB does not have the sata connection either... So back to Octagon :)

BTW: RedBull301 has just joined pimps and he told me he was picking one up tomorrow, perhaps he will give us the low down on this rx next week ;)

This model has 1 x Card reader dont know at the moment secont one comeing up or not, but 2 x cam reader will be ok for your card, dont know your cards but normaly works ok with cam.

[sattekop]

In the instruction manual that I downloaded it seems to suggest that it has a two slots common interface.

[joshjess]

Thats what efeoglu has said! 2 x CAM slots (common interface)

[carolina]

I read post of Polish Interstar's distributor who said that that Octagon is the clone og Golden Interstar 890 HD Excellence which has very good opinion

[paul01609]

sorry should have read the rules

[mrbleu500]

A quick google would have shown you that this same vendor (and I'm taking a guess but likely to be correct...) has told members of another board that if they quote the name of the board, the price is £249 + £10 delivery...

German websites sell cheaper for 299 EURO, but I guess might be an issue with guarantee etc.

What is the background of the team that publishes the EMU, will they be in it for the long run, will they publish for free?
Receiver looks great, but still wondering if I am better off with open Linux environment.

EU rules mean there is no problem with guarantees m8.
