Octagon SF4008 and PowerVu.

master G it is my understanding the sf4008 will NOT work without stream relay regardless of oscam configs. Has something changed and it now works without Stream Relay ?

Yes you can you do not have to use the stream relay... go to post # 18 and follow.

Need2learn, you have verified this yourself ? I thought the unit would need a driver update specifically to enable this before it would work ?

My unit isn't hooked up at the moment that's why I'm asking for verification. Thanks.

Could someone explain and little more on what you have to do to get this to work

Try the info already given in post #18.

If you have problems, let us know where you`re finding it difficult.

I've followed the instruction and have the emu running and finding keys and giving back cw's. Still have a black screen. What do you suggest ?

have you updated your image to a latest one? (to include the drivers...)

did you disabled stream relay in oscam config from oscam web interface (it should be ok in the configs of message 18,but check it once more) and also oscam.dvbapi to 2.2 ...?

This is the first I've heard that the drivers to enable watching without stream relay have been updated. Which update has these drivers ? I have not updated to the latest yet because of reading about people bricking their units.

Any advice how to do that without bricking ?

The latest nightlies are bricking units and no one can say which are vulnerable and which aren't.

I have a question I am using open 6.1 and I am able to get AFN to work but that is all, I can't get any other channels to work?

??

I thought by that quote you had it working already ?

Does anyone have an SF4008 and can verify they have this working with anything but AFN ?

This is a reat lie!?!

which part is lie ?

oscam config files , or something else ?

All about powerVu on Octagon!!!

so You say it doesn't work ?

well, that's problem on Your side, not a problem related with receiver

with good config ( post # 18 ) everything work

tmurgel I do not have this working yet as it seems unsafe as yet to flash my receiver to the latest firmware.

These people are offering to help you so settle down. What steps have you followed so far ?

I have also been working on this ( new to the box , Sf4008, and linux base ) . Been trying different images ATV , VIX, Going back to OpenAtv6.1 and hope someone gets an image for N.A. working image "biss and powerVu ". I like reading the info Master has given. Thanks to all. spot1

about the unsafety of latest firmwares etc...

i am member of satdreamgr team, and i know that there was a "buggy" driver,which removed from our feed,so our software is safe.

also i read from atv,that there is not any problem,if before updating, you will close the "HDR" .

About the ATV update are you referring to an on-line update or usb ?

I do usb updates. Learning to use FileZilla and where to input files in Open:helloAtV6.1

i don't know,it is not clear for me,i suppose both.and as i told i don't have the receiver to try.but even if it "hangs" the receiver,it will come back by a reflashing.
