Dune HD Homatics Box R 4K Plus Android TV 11 | Streaming Media Player | Mini PC | Netflix in 4K Dolby Vision & Atmos | 4GB, AV1, Wi-Fi 6, 1Gbit, ISO 4K DV P7 FEL MKV AFR | HDR10+ | DTS | Voice Control

My brother ordered it, had it a few months now, purchased because it understands codecs that his TV won't, also his TV won't read the format drive he has. It's his "go-to" device now and it reads his 20Tb archive drive perfectly.

I've had a couple of android TV devices over the years. I decided to move back into using one after I was sick of how slow and buggy my Samsung Tizen OS was. I decided on an Nvidia Shield TV, but was unimpressed after it broke after less than a week.I moved onto the Dune HD. It ran perfectly and has done since. The downside as a UK user was no BBC iPlayer, ITV X or Channel 4 on demand apps from the play store. But as an avid android user, I had the know how to get around this issue.I also purchased a Homatics DVB USB C tuner and was even more impressed to have live TV unlocked. The live TV app is complete with TV Guide.I have now no need to any of my slow clunky smart TV features and use the Dune HD alone and it is 200x faster and 200x easier and 200x prettier than before.Highly recommended.

Bought as I wanted something to replace the CCWGTV that has a bit more storage. Its pretty snappy, works well but doesn't have iPlayer certified which is annoying. I got my Plex server connected and Prime Video was fine in HDR. Didn't yet try the Dolby Vision but will do soon alongside some other apps.One thing I note is it goes get warm compared to other devices. Doesn't seem to affect it but worth noting.

I've been waiting for this box to get the Android 12 update, and now that it has, I decided to take the plunge and test it against my Nvidia Shield.The new update has fixed all the previous bugs and this box blows the Shield out of the water. Its fast, has a built-in media server and the picture and sound is utterly amazing. I'm not exaggerating, I have numerous boxes including ATV, Amazon 4k cube and shield and nothing compares.I wasn't expecting a huge difference in picture quality because frankly, the Shield is so good but the difference is like night and day. HDR and Dolby Vision are better - the picture is sharper and the colours are superb.If you're thinking about it then make the move! You won't be disappointed but bear in mind the box doesn't come with Android 12 installed. You have to do this yourself using a USB drive.

As others have said this box crashes a lot. I’ve had mine about 5 weeks and in that time I’ve noticed it will frequently lock up, stall or just completely crash multiple times a week. The software is just buggy. Often I will turn it off before bed or going out only to find later that it’s randomly turned it’s self back on and then crashed.Often it will say that YouTube to Netflix are pending updates with a progress bar showing over their app tiles. It will stay like this for days then disappear. More annoyingly when I click onto an app it thinks the app isn’t installed and rather than opening the app it will show a screen to install or open it up. If I restart the box this issue when it has happened tends to go away. Other times I’ve had to reinstall the app.In spite of the good reviews this box definitely has issues, specifically software ones which all the positive reviewers are subjected to too as we’re all using the same software. Just be mindful of this. I’m hoping through updates it will improved. My shield which was the pre 4k version was and still is rock solid maybe crashes twice a year.I only “upgraded” now to get 4k and also because the remote was failing on my shield. This box is cheaper, better specked and has a better remote and I think the shield is now overpriced in my view. On paper this box should for the most part be better (and it physically looks neater too) but unless they sort their shoddy and buggy software out and test it thoroughly before releasing many more will complain about it and it will never be as good as it potentially could be. Sort the software out please!

The picture and sound output is superb. The streaming is also very good.So why only 1 star?This is advertised as a full Dune box that supports iso blu ray playback. It does not do this.What it does is to force you to use other software on the device to play your iso movies. This software does not support full BD menus.If you do not mind the improper playback of isos then this is a very good box.imo if its advertised as a dune box then it should do what all prior dune boxes have done and fully support dune functionality. This does not and even after a few updates and 8 months since i bought it, it still does not support isos properly.

Put it together late last night and wasn't too thrilled that I couldn't have some apps until I found that I could play my movies on it. I made the mistake of playing one so I was viewing into the early hours and. wow, the picture was fabulous.On the delivery side, again, for the umpteenth time, the parcel with a product costing over £100 was left in the reception area of the building. It wasn't signed in by a receptionist, we don't have one, and the manager is only available in the mornings so it just lies there for anybody to pick up. Drivers should be told to deliver to the flat, not to the building. But the product is great, shame about the delivery.
