I don't know that brand. Why going to 1 dualtuner board and the octopus. In the same brand you can also use the Cine S2 that could eventually be expended with a dualtuner board for example.

So you can connect 8 Micronas has nothing to do with the new bridge. nGene is no longer in production and it also lacked inputs and outputs to support more tuners/CIs.
