Another very competent box from Octagon, like the little SX88, tuning the multi-stream channels is possible, though this has to be set, so you do need the parameters. On test, it pulled in the new Russian channels on AM8 just fine. Also the ms channels on Eutelsat 5w Italian and French.
I would rate the tuner as good but it struggled a bit on some weak Arabic Tps whereas the new Technomate ( ver 4 ) was fine.
Totally recommend this Octagon product, well made, has good specs and is very easy to use for anyone with previous Enigma2 box experience. If its your first Enigma box, yes its a bit of an uphill battle but well worth it !
