hi
does this box has similar spec as the vu solo 4k ( memory/processor and so on....)
thanks

Finally have the box set up. There was an issue with the first one I received (WOS sent another one).

First impression is that it is a rather fast receiver. Changing channels is very swift
Only have cable connected at the moment and the recording of one channel whilst watching another works without fail so far. This includes Time shift.
PIP works fine too.

I promised I would make a video when up and running, but to be fair it will only show the box using OpenVix which will show nothing new compared to other receivers I would argue (unless somebody would like to see it)..

Updated to version 5.0.008 and this seems stable.

I would still like to see a video of it please as I'm still deliberating between this box and the Octagon SF4008

The plug and play tuners on the SF4008 make it a winner for me you can make it a triple sat or triple cable box easly

sf4008 all day long & for the price

hi
i have read somewhere that it does get hot is this true ?
i need to upgrade asap from 6000 series .
any feedback will help thanks

[soussss]

hi guys.
any video of this receiver yet ?
thanks

[myboyrupert]

I had one for a very short time and it did get very hot and I had some other issues but I suspect it may have just been that particular receiver. I got an OS Mega for the time being (works perfectly with zero issues) but I may buy another Twin 4k (or the Octagon, not sure yet).

[TheBeast]

Not had a chance to make a video yet.
Again, I don't really see the point as all it will end up being is a video about OpenVix.
Please let me know if I'm missing something...

Processor temp shows as being 60°C.

you may need to turn your heater off around the house when the box is on.
you need to return it back mate it not made for purpose . good job i got myself a dream dm900 a it dearer but worth it.

[TheBeast]

Are you referring to the 60° in your reply soussss? This is a very normal operating temperature for a processor.

Nonsense, I've actually tested the Twin-4K will all top air vents covered for over 1 week, does not get over 65deg. I've actually known some receivers to get warmer.
