Hello, I'm new with 4k (also new with Octagon SF8008 and Axas His 4k Combo and don't buy it !! ) so I'm not sure about this.
My 1st 4k TV is an Nordmende ND49KS4000, unfortunately it seemed to work with "2160p" setting (with 50 and 60hz and the OSD show 50Hz/60Hz) but after some time (it worked also for an entire week) and randomly the video becomed out of synch (solution: remove the plug and reinsert it). I've contacted the Nordmende service and told me that it's faulty...ok
I've obtained from the reseller a replacement without recurring to the service..but surprice ! the replacement have the same hardware and software version but does not work at all with 2160p (blank screen) and I must choose 25 or 30Hz.

And now OpenVIX (SF8008 5.2 004 release)
that does not have 2160p30 so i must choose 1080p otherwise the screen is blank/black/no signal

The tv needs to support 2160p 60hz for live tv.

Hi,
if you are able to write a small script which is run after enigma2 is started there might be a workaround.

Take a look at /proc/stb/video/videomode_choice if you have 2160p25 or 2160p30. I think with echo 2160p25 >/proc/stb/video/videomode it can be set and you might have 4K@25Hz. On my Solo 4K and Ultimo 4K it worked.

ciao

Hello, the script worked fine, thanks :)
Anyway I've found the real problem ! :( AXAS products !!!
The Nordmende ND49KS4000 works fine, the problem was the HDMI cable found in the box of the brand new (received from Axas Germany - don't buy AXAS ! ) His 4K Combo!

I've installed on the Normende replacement
1) the Octagon SF8008 (it's a very good and fast box) on HDMI 1
2) the AXAS His 4k Combo on HDMI 2 (using the AXAS HDMI cable found in the box )

but for some reason with the AXAS HDMI cable placed in HDMI 2 slot the TV detect 2160-30/25 on the two HDMI ports (???)
this morning I've reinstalled OpenVIX on the Octagon SF8008 mounted as the only one HDMI device on Nordmende using my old and very cheap "Amazon Basics HDMI 2.0 0,5mt cable " (the AXAS cable is also 0,5mt)
and worked perfectly (2160p50 or 60hz)

I have purchased the Axas His 4K Combo from axas web site, the price was 119€ and no shipment and cash on delivery was displayed (neither on the the order confirmation). But after a couple of days without any shipment notice and some email from me asking about the the real amount to pay for the order without any reply, I have asked to Axas to cancel it. In the meanwhile I have found the Octagon SF8008 for only 129€ with shipment included and shipped from Italy.
After a week while I'm enjoying the Octagon and always without any feedback from Axas site, DHL comed at the office and delivered the AXAS His 4K Combo to the wharehouse man after the paiement of 149,90€ !!!
Unfortunately he paied without asking me and it's sure that AXAS Germany (www.axas.tv) has never replied to my emails and will never answer.
The Axas His 4K Combo is a very poor device..it's slow (as any old dual core 800Mhz Mips machine ), it have an 8Gb emmc but I don't know for what
