How can I receive these signals with my Receiver ? ...Octagon SF8008
Here is one of several variants.
Provided I have:
1. Antenna aligned to the QO100 ( more than 60cm dish )
2. BATC widebeam spectrum internet link as a Control* ( or separate antenna with spectrum analyzer )
3. Rebuilt LNB ( in my case with LNB LO on 9,500GHz )
4. Octagon SF8008 Receiver ( no matter which of three versions ) with newst software2*
Here you can see LIVE on which frequency and which simbol rate is sent… Download the latest software in SF8008.
Connect everything correctly… LNB with Receiver + Monitor or TV
Calculate now:
original is registered LNB LO at 9.75GHz, but i have 9.50GHz, that is a diferenz of 250MHz which I always have to Count !!3*
( At 9.3887 GHz are 361.3 MHz - Also think of TK 8ppm + -80kHz )
10497,750
+ 250,000
--------------
10747,750 MHz ……but comma is not possible to enter ? ( there will be soon new software with this possibility - Patience )
SF8008 turn ON ----> Menu ---> Einstellungen ---> Empfang ---> Manueller Suchlauf --> OK ---> if you're lucky, receiver finds signal and indicates so.... ---> OK or green button ---> finished, after a few seconds picture is here ( assuming transmitter is still ON AIR , please control BATC spectrum ) So you can also receive other amateur radio signals like me ( 333kSym/s , 500kSym/s , 1MSym/s , 2MSym/s ) ………

More than 160 ATV TX stations have already been seen on the QO100.
Buy recommendation……
As it stands, SF8008 is currently the best standalone receiver the man can buy.
Manufacturer has assured me that a reception is possible down to 100kSym/s.
Smaller options not yet available will be added in the upcoming software update ( like kHz Input )

2* Newst Octagon Software here.... http://openeight.de/index.php?open=sf8008
3*with more SF8008 experience is possible directly 9.50GHz LO to enter - then no calculation is necessary
You can buy SF8008 e.g. at Amazon, simply enter SF8008 in search field, price is around 115 euros.

Update RX with SF8008 …13.02.2020 For people who don't have anything yet but want to receive ATV ---->
1. get an offset antenna with a minimum of 80cm Diameter , position correctly !
2. get a modificated twin or single LNB with LO frequency 9540MHz or less
3. get Receiver SF8008
4. get Monitor or TV with HDMI input
5. connect all thre components with cables
6. PC ---> download newst Software from http://openeight.de/index.php?open=sf8008 on Harddisk ----> please unzip !!!!
7. kopieren Sie "usb_update.bin" Datei auf einen vorher bereits Fat32 formatierten USB 2.0 oder noch besser 3.0 Stick
- im Root Verzeichnis des USB-Sticks muß danach Datei "usb_update.bin" vorhanden sein
- USB-Stick sicher vom PC entfernen
- SF8008 Receiver am Netzschalter ausschalten
- USB-Stick am USB 3.0 Steckplatz auf der rechten Seite des Receivers einstecken
- Standby-Taste am Frontpanel des Receivers drücken und gedrückt halten
- Receiver am Netzschalter einschalten
- wenn "Updt" im Display des SF8008 Receivers erscheint, Standby-Taste am Frontpanel loslassen
- jetzt kann bis 2 Minuten dauern bis etwas sich bewegt - nichts drücken - Geduld zeigen
- wenn neuer Fenster aufgeht -----> "Recovery From USB" oder "Flash Recovery Image" je nach model auswählen und OK drücken
Der Flashvorgang beginnt, der Receiver startet danach neu.
…if you've done everything correctly with the SF8008 , once turn ON this picture will come: 8. Set the desired language and make settings that are desired by SF8008 ------Finish ----> nearly ready for use !
9. open the following page on your Computer: https://eshail.batc.org.uk/wb/ you will always need this page !
a) … on this page you will find for you important information such as frequency and bandwidth
b) … you can see if signal is present or has switched OFF
c) … you can see Signalspectrum LIVE , like this one here: 10. You got the current LO frequency from the LNB when buying , Please search of this !! 11. SF8008 ----> Menu -----> ( immer weiter mit OK ) ( this setting is only made once at the beginning )
12. Now let's go look for our signal from Signals Spectrum ---> SF8008 ---> Menu ---> Settings --> channel search ---> search manually --> ----> SF8008 is Ready for use , so you can receive every signal with symbol rates between 250kSym and 8MSym.
Advantages of this software version are:
1. single direct input LNB LO frequency
2. Frequency direct entry - no more calculation necessary !!
3. RX freq. kHz Input allowed
4. allows lower symbol rate up to 250ksym

Sendemäßig bin ich auch erfolgreich drüber gekommen, mit 38W Signal. Send I am also come successful over it, with 38W signal.
