    It's all very well going for strong HW - but going to a very different processor and NOT being open to the community can bite you in the arse...


    Amlogic S922X is quad core + 2 core for RAM etc. Other strong new boxes don't really lag behind in anything seriously important, they are all more than powerful and they can all do the job - but the combination of proper support from the manufacturers (with kernel, drivers, codec, low level stuff etc.) + support from various other corners of this industry/hobby is THE point missed here by some...


    And in some respects - even HW-wise - this DMM DB One box is lagging behind: no DVB-C/T2 tuner, for instance, no space for built-in HDD/SSD and a number of other features sported by Zgemma H7x/Mutant 51 OEM boxes and Edision OS mio 4K (64b), both with Broadcom processors, which lead the way at the moment, plus fast learning HiSilicon guys with their powerful quad core processors but cheap as chips (see Zgemma H9 TWIN and COMBO STBs and soon to be produced dual OS Zgemma H10, plus other manufacturers) etc. etc.


    Oh, well... DMM have lost it a while ago, being at odds with the community, arrogant as they always were, hence no thanx! No fun! I see Zgemma and others being way more fun than DMM and Vu, that's for sure!!! Open to the community and co-operating with us properly, something DMM have lost long ago, if they ever had it...

    Hi Guys,

    I like gorski's post so added what i have in my home as purchased receivers.

    I have been using the Zgemma H7c & H7s both 4k & both with triple tuners the latest type on the market. These two boxs can have the hdd installed inside the boxs with a 2.5 hdd, I am very impressed with these boxs and decided to get the Zgemma H9.2H this one is also 4K & has two tuners Dvbs2x & the Dvb cable tuner, what caught my eye with the H9.2H it has wifi, it has a microslot for the micro ssd type card and seen it can go to 128gb. or you can use a usb type external hdd if you wish to.


    I have seen that the said above are great prices & value for money.


    regards Talks.

    Zgemma H9 Combo & Twin are also very strong and capable, if... ;) Including the CI+ CAMs for smartcards...

    Mmm, yes, it's a really great receiver in many respects and I have some respect for it!


    However, this must be said:


    - the SoC is not as good as Zgemma H7, for instance


    - to this date they have not improved their drivers (not able to play .avi files, trouble with DVD files of various formats etc.)


    - Kodi is not even starting in the older images, still as 64b


    - they are now going back to 32b (new kernel and everything else with it and things aren't working, at least in the first image I tested, from the wizard onwards, like network, Device Manager can't scan and see devices etc.)


    So, sorry but right now you are wrong! At the moment we can not say anything about it with any certainty... Sadly! But I am still hopeful and I think it is a contender, for sure! When and if they sort it out...

    (4)DREAMBOX ONE 4K

    Best?

    Thanks

    The best, meaning HW, kernel, drivers, support all-in-one?


    1) Real box, tried and tested? I said it clearly above: Zgemma H7. Period!

    So, not "as of now not yet tested" (H10, which no one has actually seen performing) or in a bit of a "great change" (OSmio4K+) or...


    2) Of the ones I know/have/test: H9 Combo and Twin - depending on your needs.


    3) Some say Octagon SF 8000 or 8008 Dino based stuff but I do not have those, so can't comment...

    No.


    HW is not everything, as I have stated above.


    The combination of various elements is the winning formula... ;)

    Hello Gorski


    Do you have any experience with VU+ Duo 4K. I bought in Dec 2018 and always thought I have strongest HW box so far :)


    thanks,

    Abi

    Duo4k is discontinued btw, Ultimo4k is now Vu+ top receiver. I dont know why, probably there were not enough differences between Ultimo4k and Duo4k. I have Duo4k but to be honest, it could be better. Potential is good, but Vu+ doesnt offer any real developement of E2 or drivers to the table. They are also still putting ancient DMM E2 fork on their receivers LOL. For the money they are asking, this is not the way to operate on todays competitive market. Zgemma is crushing it right now, also new Mutant AX HD61 looks very good and for "normal" price. Todays solution to differentiate is to do something on multimedia side, you cannot compete with number of tuners etc. Everyone can do this. I have to admit, Vu+ is still the best solution if you want FBC tuners, especially DVB-C FBC tuners.

    hello

    pls can you send me link to buy Zgemma H7 i want to buy from the same webseit you bouthg your own

    Thanks

    You have PM...

    H7 is best, for me, from whatever I tested.


    EPG is down to the IPTV provider, I think...
