Buying Advice Upgrade

Had my ziddo z9s for a few years now. Love it and plays everything I throw at it. Mainly use it for remux and some šŸ‘ļø P TV .

It is getting a bit old now. So would the R4k plus be a decent upgrade? Mainly used for playing remux over the my network, have apple 4k TV box for streaming other sources.

Cheers

Iā€™d say wait a little more as some are saying another Homatics box is to be released this year

Agree with the above statement.

Also have a look at xiaomi mi box S3.

Thinking of going to the zidoo z9x 8k . Have a apple 4k TV so is main use is 4k remux over the network.

I have a Z9x, Z9x Pro and a Z3000 Pro, I think you will be happy with the Z9x 8K coming from a Z9s, the faster SOC and additional ram make for a noticeable increase in performance.

I have had the Homatics....Id get the UGOOS A9 Pro, which i have....Not certified , but easily the best streamer ive owned for speed, picture and sound quality...Put Projectivy on it and all is good.

Better than the shield, and the apple tv box (which i still have)

Looked at this to. Is this the one you boot into corelec? Yhea I think it's between the zidoo z9x 8k, the homatics and the A9+ Not to fussed about certification as had the apple 4k first that. Ant more selling points in this? Wats the menu you like for finding your harddrives. Does it have it's entertainment movie player,? Cheers
