Exactly the same CPU SPEC as in the VU+ Uno SE mate the DUO has a better CPU though and that chipset is the only one that will work with FBC tuners, that chipset is no longer made so there is some old stock about.

Remember, VU+ no longer make commercial sat boxes so buying one is like buying a Dreambox.

No or little support going forward if not now at some point.
For these reasons I said that maybe the Gigablue receivers are the only high quality boxes still in the market. What else?

I'm looking better for Gigablue receivers. What about tuner configuration?
I would need 1x multistream satellite tuner and 1x terrestrial tuner, but it seems that the satellite tuner factory installed is not multistream.
So, can I replace this tuner with a multistream one, adding a terrestrial tuner? Or must I keep an unuseful satellite one and choose between multistream or terrestrial?
Could you please clarify this point? Thanks.

Multistream may be possible on the optional S2X tuner but look into it both my tuners are Unicable never looked at multistream channels with it tbh.

All those Gigablue are fine, but the price doesn't reflect the old electronics you are finally getting + the hours spent installing and touching code, etc. I think the SAT market is frozen, and the best value for money sits on the Octagon's side, which also doesn't guarantee support. Weird time. 🤖

Octagon best bang for buck but not moving forward spec wise. And not in the 4k gigablue room spec wise.

So what is there if not Gigablue ?

IPTV? hahaha kidding...
I don't know man. More than 200 euros for an LCD panel and FBC, DDR4? I mean, it's 2024. All made in China and outdated...
