If anyone can actually describe the real benefits of this new box I will appreciate it.
Since I don`t find any new benefit with this new 4K box except the 2 x FBC DVB-S2X tuners.
The rest is already done by cheaper hardware (for example Amlogic S812 based)
I actually meant S905 which also doing 10bit HVEC decoding same as the BCM7252.
The older S812 only does 8bit. Still big difference 50 USD Android box vs. EUR 500
Add Openelec support to the Amlogic...and you got a winner.
The 50 USD android box is exactly that: an android box. VU+ Solo 4K is a complete STB, gigabit ethernet, transcoding capabilities, support for internal HDD, LCD display, twin DVB-S2 tuners plus additional slot for more tuners and ... it runs enigma2.
I have seen android based STBs and they all suck. And Kodi is great as a media center but not quite so for watching satellite tv - at least with all the PVR plugins I have tried the experience (aka WAF) is below average.
