    4K Digital Receiver Suggestions?

    Hello. I'm new to this forum and would appreciate some advice...

    I've been using a motorised set up for the past 20 years or so but for the past few years have only been using it to pick up FTA channels on 28.2E. However, I've just bought a 4K TV and would like to explore what is available in this format on other satellites (as far as I'm aware there is nothing in 4K on 28.2E).
    .
    So, I would like to buy a 4K receiver to replace my old (but still working) VU Solo. I would like something with a hard drive that is reliable but also looks nice. One that appears to tick the boxes is the Gigablue UHD UE 4K but I really don't know anything about it or if there are any better alternatives.

    Therefore, I would be very grateful for any suggestions and other advice.

    I would second the HD61. From a build point of view, VU+ & Gigablue(all their boxes have same casing & design) are in my view more "quality" looking, but HD61 is close
    Gigablue Quad 4K & UE 4K
    .........FBC Tuners:
    ------------------> GT-Sat unicable LNB to 1.5M dish(28.2E)
    ------------------> Gigablue unicable LNB 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 unicable ports
    Zgemma H9 C/S into Giga4K
