Choosing a satellite receiver

In order to compare the receivers of Openbox S4 PRO + and Vu + Solo2, let's consider separately the characteristics of each of them.

The model of the Openbox S4 PRO + receiver presented here is an updated version of its predecessors. In this device, the internal memory reaches 256 MB, so the main required plug-ins are already installed and do not require additional configuration. In addition, for ease of use, a simple LED display is added. The receiver is Linux OS, and the developers of the device is Fortis (Korea). In the updated receiver you can open Internet browsers, as well as watch videos from YouTube, while the maximum playback quality will be 1080p. In addition, you can use DLNA services and Internet-TV, view the current weather forecast, and play media files of formats MKV, Xvid and DivX. In this case, the Openbox S4 PRO + is economical in terms of electricity consumption, and during operation its housing does not heat up much. This is due to the modern STMicroelectronics processor - STi7110.

By the way, for convenience of use on the case of the receiver there is a special mount VesaMount, with which you can fix it behind the TV. The card-reader is universal, and it supports almost all card operators. To do this, you need to install and configure the necessary emulators. This device has a high-quality satellite tuner, due to which it is possible to receive signals in the standards - DVB-S and DVB-S2 (with QPSK and 8PSK modulation).

If we compare the receivers of Openbox S4 PRO + and Vu + Solo2, which appeared on sale here, then it should be noted that the latter is also the brainchild of the Korean company and is equipped with the Linux operating system. This is an updated version of the predecessors, and thanks to the new more powerful processor (Broadcom BCM7356) it is now equipped with additional features. Two fixed DVB-S2 tuners come with it, so you can receive signals in DVB-S and DVB-S2 standards. The device works perfectly with external equipment via protocols: DiSEq C 1.0,1.1,1.2, and also through USALS. The advantage of this receiver in front of Openbox is the presence in it of 1 gigabyte of RAM. And the installed network controller allows you to transfer data at speeds up to 30-40 MB per second.
