Elegant 4K receiver with smart features

 

The Vu+ Ultimo 4K combines top-of-the-line hardware (quad-core 1.5 GHz, 20,000 DMIPS) with openness thanks to its Linux/Enigma2 base. Notable features include HDMI 2.0 in/out, Gigabit LAN, dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4/5 GHz), and Bluetooth 4.0. With this equipment, you can easily handle UHD (4K), HEVC/H.265 decoding, and multi-streaming. Ideal for home theater enthusiasts who want more than "just" television.

 

User experiences & tips

 

For owners, the Ultimo 4K offers complete flexibility – whether with an FBC twin tuner (e.g., DVB-S2) or a dual-tuner configuration: you can record, stream, or watch multiple programs simultaneously. According to the manufacturer, channel switching times are very short, with virtually no delay when changing channels. However, the device is now an older model, and spare parts/firmware updates may become less frequent. Potential buyers should bear this in mind – the technology is powerful, but the support horizon may be limited.

 

Tips for use & setup

 

When setting up the receiver, we recommend combining it with an internal 2.5" or 3.5" hard drive for recording – the receiver supports this directly. Use the dual-band Wi-Fi or, even better, a wired LAN connection for stable streaming performance. In the menu, you should check the available plug-ins and skins: the community offers numerous extensions that enhance the experience. When selecting the tuner, make sure you know which type your device actually supports (e.g., DVB-S2 FBC or DVB-C) – not every type allows every configuration.
