IS Vu+ still around? No development basically on their git (4 months from last addition), no new announcements.

Probably due to the lockdown caused by Coronavirus........

End of life model, take a look at the VU+ Ultimo 4K.

The VU+ Ultimo 4K is the premium model from VU+

Since the Duo4K came out there has been a whole raft of new receivers with very good specs - decide what you need and look around.

I just checked idealo.de and yes, Duo4k is apparently really discontinued. Ultimo 4k is new "top" STB now which is interesting ...

Yes, costs a lot of money, but not supported by VU.

In what way is it "not supported"? They committed a change a few days ago to fix an issue with Xbox USB tuners on PLI.

People are mixing up the following:
Manufacturer no longer making a device
Manufacturer no longer supporting a device

Maybe they decided that insufficient people would buy the Duo4k and dropped it as it did not make financial sense. Surely the people who already have the receiver aren't affected as they already have it?

Almost every device has issues. Some get fixed other do not. Trouble with Vu is they usually do their stuff on on closed source images and can add E2 changes that other images won't/can't add. For example, the HDMI-In as an issue. Other receivers do not have the issue, but they are on older kernels.

Constant driver updates are not always required. There are still people using the original Ultimo.
