How many sat tuners do you need?
Currently in use: VU+ Duo 4K (2xFBC S2), VU+ Solo 4K (1xFBC S2), uClan Usytm 4K Ultimate (S2+T2), Octagon SF8008 (S2+T2), Zgemma H9.2H (S2+T2)

Then a lot of HiSilicon based hardware will do.
I'm personally happy with the Octagon SF8008 Combo (get the Supreme, its wifi is blazing fast!) and the equivalent Zgemma's.
I also have a Qviart Dual here, but it is doing weird things at the moment. It has reception issues, and has already blown up 2 USB sticks,.

You have got to be kidding. Or are you confusing RAM with Flash?

Yes. And why is that a problem? Answer: it isn't, 1GB RAM is more than plenty, most of it will be used by cache.

Your problem is going to be there is very little, next to nothing that is "new".
New receivers that OpenPLi is working on will be shown in red here: https://openpli.org/
Notice all of the receivers in that link are Black?
The only thing "new" for 2024 to date is the Octagon SF8008 Supreme. Good luck on finding anything new this year with more than 1 GB of ram. I don't have a crystal ball, but almost 1/6th of 2024 is gone. Doubt you see many new fta enigma2 receivers in 2024.

By the way, I understand there is a COMBO and TWIN version, right?
Are tunera replaceable? In other words, if I but a COMBO can I modify it to be a TWIN and vice versa?

Don't think so. I did not see provisions for easily swapping tuners easily when I installed the interval SSD in my SF8008 Supreme.

Can you give me some reasons why to choose Octagon sf8008 Supreme vs Vu+ Duo 4k se?
Ok the vu+ is 4 years old , but what parameters are superior on Octagon vs vu+ ?

Really, I cannot give a reason to choose any FTA receiver as it is a personal decision. Make your purchase based on what you want or need.

You think so and I am sure you can’t replace the tuners. These are different models.Don't think so. I did not see provisions for easily swapping tuners easily when I installed the interval SSD in my SF8008 Supreme.
Mijn schotel is een T90 met 10 LNB's. Daarnaast voor de fun nog een draaibaar systeem met een Triax TD 78.
Dreamboxen heb ik niet meer echt actief. Verder heb ik ook nog een een VU+ duo2 met 500Gb harddisk + een VU+ Uno, Zero, Solo 4K, Ultimo 4K, Zero 4K, Uno 4Kse. + ook nog een Xtrend ET7x00. Daarnaast heb ik ook nog diverse andere modellen w.o. een Formuler F4, ET8500, ET7500, Mut@nt 2400HD, Xsarius Fusion HD se en verder nog wel het e.e.a. waarmee op verzoek vanalles wordt getest. Iemand moet het tenslotte doen. 
Los van de eerder genoemde modellen heb ik nog wel een rits aan testsamples als Mut@nt 2400HD, HD60, GB UE4K, GB Trio4K, Maxitec Multibox combo en Twin, Octagon sf8008, sf8008 mini en last but nog least enkele modellen van het Grieks Duitse Edision.
Voor centrale opslag van media gebruik ik een Qnap 219P met tweemaal 2 Tb harddisks + een Synology DS414 met 12 Tb Totale opslag.

The Duo 4K SE is massive overkill if all you need is one S and one C/T tuner. Both in price and functionality. You also get an old and slow wifi chipset.
