    Recommendations please

    I think my trusty Vu+ Solo2 may be coming to the end of its useful life.

    I have browsed the forum and have narrowed it down to two choices; Gigablue UE 4K or AX HD61 4K. Can anyone provide some opinions, both good and bad on these two?

    TIA

    I don't have any experience with the AX boxes, but I have had a Gigablue UHD UE 4k for about a year.

    The box originally shipped with a faulty DVB-C/T tuner, but replaced free-of-charge by HM-Sat. Other than this initial problem, it's been faultless and the picture quality is awesome.

    I noticed the AX has Hi SIlicon CPU vs Broadcom in the Gigablue, that's really the only major difference I can see. I would think there is a wider range of image support Gigablue, as there seems to be more around.

    I'm no expert with Enigma2 receivers, but I don't think there is that much difference in comparably priced boxes these days.

    This probably doesn't help much, just my .02 cents.

    I know its a bit late but would ask why you think box is near end of life?
    Might ask if you did a new flash to refresh and clear any bugs.

    A couple of things:

    Recordings being a bit iffy and it has locked up a few times. A flesh reflash might be what it needs.

    The HD61 4K is a good box, can't say about Gigablue.
    My one thing I hat about my Hd61 is the clicking nose the remote makes when u press buttons 😣
