    den if your only after a twin satellite tuner then the Uno 4K would suffice the Ultimo would allow an extra DVB-C/T/T2 possibilities

    The Solo 4K looks like an excellent receiver.

    There are already a number of useful threads, and guides, in the Solo 4K section:

    Hi den123,

    It has 2 tuners and pick's up 8 channels at once ( Think its 8 ? )
    The DVB/C/TV terrestrial tuner at Gold w@fers costs £49 per installed.

    den, If your 4k LCD has ( HDR ) the VU+ Solo is up to now the
    only 4k STB to deal with HDR.

    BF.

    Quote from what HI-Fi:
    "Sony KD-55XD9305 review. This slimline 4K HDR TV is a technological tour de force and a great start for Sony's 2016 TV range."

    Den I have had the solo 4k for a year now great box. Just one thing mate cccam does not work on any arm based 4k box. You will need to learn how to use oscam but there are back up images available that have it already set.

    Hi

    den, If your 4k LCD has ( HDR ) the VU+ Solo is up to now the
    only 4k STB to deal with HDR.
    Who told you this ?
    Look over here :
    update drivers(solo4k, uno4k, ulitmo4k)
    - Fix HDR
    - Fix PiP(solo4k)
    - Fix DVB-CI(solo4k)
    - Improve demux(solo4k)
    this says otherwise or did it not?

    Hi

    On so called "arm" Boxes the "mipsel" CCcam does not Work
    sad cause i´m thinking CCcam can do some thinks better than Oscam,
    like Cryptoworks or Conax,but yes you have to use Oscam

    HDR means absolute Zero on the Solo4K/Uno4K/Ultimo4K unless you play Movie rips with HDR enabled material from either a USB or internal/External harddrive.

    What we actually need is HLG which is the standardised format agreed upon for Television Broadcast, the BBC will release a Test HLG 4K channel next year, they already have a Test HLG on iPlayer for 4K panasonic TV's.

    So here is a Tip if you dont already own a 4K TV and are in the process of purchase make sure you buy something that is HDR and HLG compliant, next years models will no doubt include HLG as standard CES in Las Vegas is less than 3 weeks away we will see then whats on offer
