Solo 4k vs Mutant HD51

    As a owner of a solo 4k I was wondering if any of these new receivers like the mutant hd51 are as fast as the solo 4k. Solo 4k has 1500mhz and mutant has 1700mhz but from what I can read the solo may have the better chip. Has any one tested them against each other??. The mutant is far cheaper than the solo 4k.

    I`ve tested both with OpenViX and the HD51 is faster at booting and restarting GUI. It boots in 28 seconds, solo4k takes 58 seconds. Restarts GUI in 3 seconds, solo4k takes 20 seconds.


    Everything i`ve tried on both is instant, like plugins, EPG, etc, no lag or freezing whatsoever..


    You are paying extra on the solo4k for the FBC Twin tuners (mutant comes with a single tuner), Mini TV, wifi, extra card reader, Plug & Play drive caddy..


    I prefer the solo4k, it looks better, has more image support and Kodi.. The Mutant looks cheap and the remote control is terrible.



    The remote truly is terrible

    I think for the forseeable future with having the FBC tuners which gives it (SkyQ) multi-tuner compatibility and so called HDR capable (Still waiting on Vu+ to Update the Drivers). The Solo4k is still the one to beat but for £200 the Mutant is not to be sniffed at
