    4k Skins ??

    Hey all , Is there any good 4K Skins. I currently use the VIX-Night-HD, I have a few freezing issues at the minute so going to try a few new skins before I reset the whole box. My box is the Vu+ Uno 4k se.

    Thanks in advance,

    Dave.

    I think only 2 dreamboxes support 4K skins (could be wrong), but certainly Vu+ boxes do not support them (was asked for about 7/8 years ago and ignored).

    obviously not just a case of rescaling, otherwise there would have been no need to ask the manufacturer to add support and there would be 4k skins already available.

    No, the closed source box drivers that come from the manufacturers have to allow it. If you make a simple 4k skin and try you will find most boxes crash.

    Next you might want an 8K one and you might have to move up from Scart use.
