    Good time to pick up a cheap HD cs box. I only grabbed another the other day to have a play with homesharing but I don't really need it.

    Does anyone know if a "802.11n Wireless USB LAN Adapter WiFi" works with Octagon 918 or do you have to use a cabled LAN?

    Don't think so. Just use a wireless AP in client mode.

    it's basically the same as an AP in client mode.

    Yes you right Leroy, It looks like its a wireless access point.
    I was thinking more a USB dongle. If that works?

    Looks like they're rehashing it. This is from the site, just a different part

    Default Locking SPA Channels

    I cant get a lock on all the SPA channels with Octagon 918.

    TP 11762 H 27800
    I get
    SPA (pids 1011 1012 8150)
    SPM (pids 1021 1022 8150)
    SPH (pids 1031 1032 8150)
    AUSA (pids 1011 1012 8150)
    I cant get a lock on
    Pids 1041 1042 8150
    Pids 1051 1052 8150

    When I edit the pid (on the AUSA channel because its a duplication) it shows the correct pic for a split second then changes back to pid 1011 1021.
    When I scan the pids it shows black screen with just Audio.
    Any ideas?

    Just saw a 918 on ebay for $275 plus postage, buy it now.

    I didn't realise they had dropped in value so quickly?
