Hi,

as promissed I'm replying to my post about freezing Octagon SF8008 Twin. Long story short:
 

1. Finally I have made a complaint and got cash back.
2. I purchased again same model from different reseller (looks like at least remote controll is in new version).
3. I flashed latest OpenPli and configured all stuff.
4. It works.

It was indeed some hardware issue of that other box.

What is this??? "I'm using 58000 SXR and it works with similr configuration (with Graterlia OS on board)."

I have another quite old box NC+ model 58000 SXR with Graterlia OS installed which I wanted to replace with SF8008.

Did not checked tuxtxt errors on other images. No external HDD/SSD installed, I did not even try since the box is not working.

Same problem was with HDMI cable delivered with box as also usign mine old one.

I am willing to agree with betacentauri that all leads to hardware issue. I will give it last one more try when it comes back to me. If it won't work I will make a complaint.

I'll update about the solution.

Thanks for your time.

It happens despite of selected channel. Coax cable are ok, I'm using 58000 SXR and it works with similr configuration (with Graterlia OS on board).

Temperature of the box is normal and was working in same place where old reciver was.

I have tried few other images:

• hyperion, 6.2, 6.3, 7.1
• openatv 6.2
• openeight newest

All have same issue. Longest working was openeight. Just found out that in April Octagon had a report about this kind of behaviour and they released firmware upgrade. Can't check my version bacause I gave my box to a friend who promissed to tak a look at this issue.

Any clues how to upgrade this firmware from manufacturer? Is it done via boot menu or can it be done online?
I cannot find it on the manufacturer website - which is vary badly written and user unfriendly by the way. On other forum I just sow somebody mentioning new firmware v.1.05.23 for SF8008 but no links ware provided.

I would very appreciate your help

Hi all,

just purchased brand new Otagon SF8008 Twin. First thing I did was flashing newest OpenPLi 7.3 (upgraded with opkg) and I have a problem. It freezes in non regular time intervals:

• sometimes it works for 2 hours and crashes, and sometimes it freezes 3 times per hour
• only way to reboot is to hard power off and on again (does not react to remote nor ssh or telnet)
• no crash logs are beeing created
• I have only debug mode logs which are not telling me a thing about an issue

The sympthoms are:

1. the image begins to pixel (like it was a huge thunderstorm with very high clouds)
2. then it frames (kind of screen flickering) until the green screen finally appears
3. sometimes the screen is always green, sometimes it switches to blue or white back and forth

The OpenPli version it 7.3 latest 24/08/2020 non multiboot. Installed additional software is openvpn, epgimport, ntupdate. OSCam in use.

What else is needed to debug this issue. Has someone faced similar problem ?
