While researching another GEO program I stumbled across this commercial DVB-S receiver that can do symbol rates as low as 100.. which is only €119.

Sounds like a beast!
If it really works with QO-100, than it is like Klondike for HAMs.

Looks like the standard Octagon SF8008 we have been using for a while. Is this new firmware? I thought they were a bit cheaper than that but see they are £95 in the UK from usual sources.

Bought mine July last year; I think there were different versions. Mine was 114.99 and described as OCTAGON SF8008 4K UHD E2 Linux Twin DVB-S2X Digitial Satellite Receiver w/ WiFi.

The novelty wore off after a week and now it's collecting dust. I'll stick with my Minitiouners.
