Octagon SF8008. Thinking of purchasing this box.

[CarworldHQ]

I am looking to buy a satellite set top box. I used to have a Technomate system but that died long ago. I now want to get back into having my own satellite setup. I am leaning towards a SF8008.

This is what I would like to do.

I have a 120 cm steerable dish. not sure what LNB I have, but that is not an issue I can change that if necessary.
I would like the STB to be capable of recording one channel while watching another. Tuners can be a mixture of satellite and terrestrial. I would also like to explore IPTV.`
Prefarbaly able to fit an internal HDD.
Able to drive the dish motor.
Blind search. I am interested in feed hunting.
On my current set up I have an RF modulator which I use to feed 3 other TVs in the house. I will need some method to feed other TVs
Capable of unscrambling using whatever method.
An STB that is expandable so I can learn as I go along
And above all a unit where I can obtain support in case, I get stuck.
I don’t have a budget as such. I am looking for value for my money.
Will this box cover what I want to do as an entry level.
Only thing that puts me off is the two antennas as I have a dedicated internet cable. However I guess I can live with that.

Thank you for reading.
