Need a new box

You should tell us what you need.

Then it's expensive, a GigaBlue Quad.
Or a small price, a GigaBlue Trio Pro.

I am truly appalled by the market for Linux satellite receivers. Many manufacturers want to squeeze a lot of money from buyers, but they don’t always equip newer, more powerful components. This is disappointing, especially with some overpriced receivers that still use only a 2-core CPU or DDR3 RAM. The SoC Broadcom BCM7252S dates from 2015 and the HiSilicon Hi3798MV200 from 2016. The ARM Cortex-A53 CPU is quite outdated, dating back to 2012. Many receivers still use A53, I haven’t seen A78 or A510 in use so far. Sadly, manufacturers continue to ship DDR3 RAM in Linux satellite receivers, which is long out of fashion. I don’t understand why manufacturers are still allowed to use DDR3 in Linux satellite receivers. It feels almost ridiculous.

If you’re looking for a strong, high-performance receiver, I warmly recommend the Dreambox One Ultra HD. It has a powerful, fast 6-core CPU with plenty of DMIPS and DDR4 RAM (2 GB). For this price, there’s really nothing to complain about. Vu+ cannot hold a candle to Dreambox, neither technically nor price-wise. Vu+ uses “outdated” technology, and I wouldn’t buy Vu+ for this reason, because they still use DDR3 RAM. Vu+ offers little value for money at this price-to-performance ratio, while Dreambox delivers considerably more.

If you want to stay in the mid-range segment and are looking for a stable and reliable receiver, I wholeheartedly recommend the AB PULSe 4K.

VU is out of production.

What's wrong with the Octagon Supreme V3? The previous versions were buggy but now they seam to have fixed it properly and it's a very good STB that has a competitive price.

"Need a new box"

Me too!I'am looking for hybrid and combo receiver!There are some ,but i can't make decision!

What are your price expectations? What should the box be able to do? Which one did you choose? For me, it would be important that you also have good image support for the box.
