To flame the Solo4k for its poor (it isn't in my opinion) SD performance is just not justified, most 1080p TVs have poor SD performance, eventually most UHD TVs will have poorer 1080i performance than HD sets.
As it is I have my Solo4k de interlacing and scaling everything to 2160p to my UHD set and I think it does a sterling job on good quality SD broadcasts, remember you can't polish a turd.
Previously I had my Duo2 scaling everything and my UHD TV de interlacing, I actually prefer the way I have it now.

The Blackhole review is hiding all issues. I found many issues just by testing it for half an hour, they don't mention anything.

1. USB tuners don't work due to driver misconfiguration. After installing a usb tuner, I get:
[ 3.826608] bh_dvb_core: exports duplicate symbol dmx_swfilter_hook (owned by kernel)

2. SAT>IP doesn't work at all.

3. XBMC still 13.2 like other VU+ boxes, while 15.2 exists

4. Minimum SoftCAM compatibility (actually only OSCAM)

And I still haven't tested the box media compatibility (image uses gstreamer 1.4.5) and tuners compatibility.

sundtek USB tuners work, they very quickly modified their installer to call for the correct driver.
