Hi All,

Sorry I'm not sure exactly where to post this as it's such a general question and doesn't seem to fit in any of the specific forum categories.

I've had a Vu+ HD box for about 5 years, supplied through satwise. I recently upgraded to Openvix 6 and am using Xstreamity with no issues and get all channels. It's never been a problem and I've always been happy to subscribe, however I'm now aware that there is superior hardware out there but I simply don't know what's best. I'm looking for all singing, all dancing bells and whistles stuff but I don't know enough about the different brands to be able to choose. I basically want everything I can get currently plus more! Some of my requirements are below, although I'd be keen to hear of any other functions available too, can anyone give me their opinions on what is best please?

  • IPTV (openvix, xstreamity, etc)
  • lots of RAM, fast processor
  • lots of storage or able to accept a usb stick or memory card
  • record, timeshift, watch another channel while recording
  • Good EPG
  • Wireless preferred, dual band if possible
  • Decent remote control (universal preferred)
  • Satellite input (at least 1)
  • 4K
  • Low standby power consumption if possible
  • Terrestrial input (optional)


Many thanks for your advice.

Matt
