    I had 2 decent receivers so far , a solo4k and gigablue quad + and I think they should be used as sat and cable boxes, they fail as media players. Conclusion we always need 2 boxes one for TV and one as media player.

    Looks like a dodgy seller to me.

    Help asked via PM will be ignored.
    The forum is there for help and all will benefit from your questions.
    NO CARD SHARING TALK WILL BE TOLERATED, LAN OR WAN, IN OPEN FORUM OR PM !

    English is not my native tongue.
    I apologise for all my grammar, spelling and idiom errors.

    There are 2 tuner slots
    The 1st slot can take a dvb-s2 or -c/T2 and for dvb-s2 provides 2 dvb-s2 tuners
    The 2nd slot if used for dvb-s2 only provides 1 dvb-s2 tuner
    So max 3 x dvb-s2

    So if you have as per the advert 2 x dvb-s2 pairs =4 but only 3 useable (which it doesn,t say) or maybe its in the small text or probably the seller hasn,t read the details

    As twol states and as been discussed, you can install 2 dual tuners (4 tuners) but only 3 will work.
    That guy is going to get a lot of negative feedback lol.

    I was obviously up too early (or drunk too much) your wording describes it perfectly ... and briefly

    Got it guys, also contacted Octagon and they confirmed 3 tuners max.
    Probably plenty for my needs and price wise is good.
    I want a 4k box with 2 sat and 1 cable, this might be the one as the price is good.
    Mutant hd52 and xtrend 12000 are rumores to be coming soon but probably won't be much different from this.
    Gigablue is going to be a lot more and the Vu ultimo ( can't justify the price).

    Mutant HD52 .... they are indicating May 2017 which probably means September 2017
