    Are you asking about the SF8008 twin dvb-s2x tuner model? Its a very popular model and works well. I have read and re-read your post and can't fathom what you are asking. The best satellite lists are the ones you make yourself. There is no point using someone elses list with satellites that you cant receive. As regards iptv you would need a crystal ball to decode what you are trying to do.

    Yes Ronand re receiver, sorry if a bit vague re requests, what i am asking is HOW to have the list of satellites to choose from, as at present the tuner A tuner B only seems to let me have a couple after download of channels, as for iptv i obviously load with putty and choose provider of my choice [i see stalker & kodi are available on this receiver and as mentioned i have downloaded plugins but stalker turns to black page when i try to open it kodi im stuck when it comes to url thanks again for your patience

    Crazy, I know......

    Full stops intimidate young people when used in social media communication as they are interpreted as a sign of anger, according to linguistic experts. ...
    And a study from Binghamton University in New York suggested that people who finish messages with full stops are perceived as insincere.

    I finished mine with dots, not full stops.

    Just for reference, for people who want to make a short post, there is a minimum of ten characters. You can use spaces prior to the one full stop. Example below


    Code:
    Yes                   .

    @Willamtell
    The lack of satellites is probably because the channel list you downloaded has a trimmed down satellites.xml. You can replace it using "XML update" in the Tuners and Scanning menu.
