    Can only say that I have had both Giga4K's since 1st customer ship and they have worked perfectly, with continued updates from Gigablue - as you can see from my signature I have a few receivers, but I have a Giga4K as my main receiver in my Lounge - apart from good technology, looks great.
    ...... and the remote is as good as the Vu+ in terms of quality and functionality.
    Gigablue Quad 4K & UE 4K
    .........FBC Tuners:
    ------------------> DUR-Line DCR 5-1-8-L4 Multiswitch to 1.5M dish(28.2E)
    ------------------> Spaun SUS 5581/33 NFA Multiswitch to 80 cm dish(19.2E)
    .......................> FBC & DVB-S2X into 90cm dish (27.5W) Opticum robust Unicable LNB
    AX HD61, Edision Osmio 4K+, Zgemma H9Combo, Octagon SF8008 , gbtrio4k, h9se using Legacy ports on multiswitches
    Zgemma H9 C/S into Giga4K

    In reality only size of front display - rest are not significant unless you have some special use e.g. hdmi in

    You can compare them both on the WOS website.

    If you plan to use a USB tuner, forget the Gigablue UE 4K

    Yes. Scanning does not find any channels. Also tried OpenEight, ATV, PLi and PurE2

    A bit OT, but the VU+ Duo 4K (SELECT YOUR TUNERS) and VU+ Ultimo 4K (SELECT YOUR TUNERS) both only allow an FBC tuner in slot one when purchasing on the WOS site.

    Is the twin DVB-T2 tuner a possible option for slot one?

    VU+ Ultimo 4K Twin T2 has to go in slot 1.

    Duo 4K can go in either slot.

    Thanks, will they both work with twin T2 tuners in both slots (ie no satellite tuner at all.)

    Multiple plug and play T2 tuner boxes are hard to come by at the moment.
