HD Satelit image 0.6.7 alpha, for testers only, on the Octagon SF8008 4K UHD
26 October 2026
Update, 27 October: the image for this receiver is temporarily withdrawn: on the Octagon SF8008 Supreme the start still stops. We are working with a tester and it comes back when it starts. If you have installed it and it stops at start-up, write to us on the forum or at [email protected].
The HD Satelit image can now also be downloaded for the Octagon SF8008 4K UHD (Single, Twin, Combo and Supreme), as an alpha, for testers only. Alpha means the image is made for this receiver, but it has not been tried on the receiver itself yet: it may not start.
The SF8008 V3 Supreme should work with the same image, but it has not been tested. Testers with a V3 are welcome, with a backup of the current image made first; a full recovery with usb_update.bin is uncertain on the V3 (the installation page says why).
The SF8008 has the same processor as the Amiko Viper 4K V20, but another driver package from the manufacturer, another kernel and another layout of the internal memory. We compared the SF8008 drivers with the V20 ones, command by command, and the public images for the SF8008 with those for the V20; what was different is fixed in the image or is in the list of tests. The most important tests on the SF8008: the tuners, picture and sound over HDMI, films and streams, the display.
We already know that some keys of the remote from the box do not do the right thing yet (REC, PLAY/PAUSE, rewind and fast forward, STOP, YELLOW for the audio, CH+ and CH-, TV/Radio); we fix them in the next version. Bluetooth is not in the image.
The image for the SF8008 is version 0.6.7, the same as on updated V20 receivers. It is written from a USB stick, from the image running on the receiver now or from the start-up menu of the receiver; only the kernel and the system are written, the receiver's start-up stays untouched. First make a copy of your settings and channel list and keep an image for the SF8008 you can go back to.
Package updates for the SF8008 come later; until then, Software update says there are no updates.
Do you have an SF8008 and have you tried the image? Write to us at [email protected] what worked and what did not, with the variant of the receiver, the logs and the photo of the note from the first start.
