Big Hello to every forum members
I'm not really familiar with todays boxes so I kindly ask experts from this forum for advice in buying new one.
Currently I'm using (for over 10 years) Dreambox HD800 with some old Openpli/cccam installed on it. As my DM has broken LAN port I can not do any updates, can not install vpn, plugins etc. (otherwise I would probably keep using it)
My needs are rather simple, I want my new box to have:
One sat tuner as I will use it with one dish (non motorised), single cable only, purely for polish sat tv in UK (cccam)
I want to run openvpn (or equivalent) without problems (enough cpu/ram power?)
SPDIF audio output
Would be nice to have option for good working IPTV app (good enough cpu/ram?)
I can see that this days it is possible to stream television from sat box to other smart tv/smartphone over home network, I'd like this feature to work
Would be nice if this box can play music from my home NAS
I want box with good software/forums support
And last thing: bluetooth remote controller- does this thing exist/work in enigma boxes?? So far I have found that only expensive VU+ model have it.. I's odd that in 2021 sat boxes with BT remote are that hard to find... (my BT remote for smart tv is a big step up from IR technology, in my opinion..)
I don't need to do any recordings and no need for extra hdd or usb storage.
My budget is , well, flexible, say 200 GBP (but, ofcourse, less is better ;), I don't want overpay for features that I will not use)
So far I have narrowed my searches to:
OCTAGON SF8008 4K UHD 1x DVB-S2X + 1x DVB-C/T2 that cost 99 GBP but have not BT remote.
Zgemma H9S SE looks nice, recent hardware, cheap, but no SPDIF that is quite important to me as I have separate stereo system.
Would You help me with this please? Is SF8008 best bet for me or are there better alternatives?
Many thanks for all advices
