The Octagon SF 908 as part of the SF 718 to the same product line. The operation is essentially the same. Added is the better equipment. The case is somewhat larger (340x60x268 mm). Immediately striking is the very good alphanumeric display. Ten points are there for the program names and menu functions. A program name is longer so the script runs through it. However, then only one more letter will be displayed. In addition, there are other characters in the display, such as USB, TV, radio and signal. The remote is very well designed, all the buttons were well placed to my taste. Responsiveness is also good. In addition, the receiver can be operated via the seven keys from the housing. Behind the front flap there are 1 card reader and a CI slot and USB port. To the USB port allows external USB hard drives or USB sticks connect. These are among others necessary for the PVR functions. I found this very disturbing, however, that the front door must be opened then ever. This bothered me not only visually. Software updates for the front may still be quite good, but for permanent PVR mode, you should make sure to install the USB on the back. On the back it has not even saved. In addition to the otherwise generally available connections, the octagon receiver were also YUV (Component) outputs, optical digital audio output, 0 / 12 Volt Adapter, Ethernet and a power switch donated. The whole thing gives it a price which is currently at about 100 €.
The Octagon is supplied without a channel list. The receiver is an audio / video cable and a German / English manual. After the purchase you should make sure a octagon receivers update software , since so few in the course of time has changed, and you usually have to do without some.
