    The Duo 4KSE is the latest Vu+ receiver. It has nice features, but will be a poor performing FTA receiver for North America.
    [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

    Price = £349.00 or about 462.00 United States Dollar.

    This receiver has FBC tuners for satellite reception. There are no other advertised satellite tuners at this time.
    What is a DVB-S2 FBC Twin Tuner?
    A DVB-S2 FBC Twin Tuner has 8 demodulators.
    With two conventional (e.g., Twin-LNB) satellite feeds, the tuner is comparable to 2 conventional and 6 additional tuners operating in loop-through mode. You can watch, stream or record simultaneously stations from 8 different transponders from 2 different Sat levels.
    In SCR operation (Unicable) with 8 frequencies, this corresponds to 8 conventional tuners.

    Users that have tested FBC tuners in North America report a decrease in signal sensitivity as compared to tuners without FBC capability.

    These are the advertised features of the Duo4KSE from WOS:
    Very fast switching times
    WebKit Browser
    Chromium OS
    Dual HD transcoding
    HbbTV
    HDMI 2.0 output
    HDMI 2.0 input
    Gigabit LAN
    DualBand WiFi (2.4 / 5 GHz)
    Simultaneous decryption of 2 CI modules
    Bluetooth 4.1 for e.g. Bluetooth soundbars or headphones
    3.5 "TFT LCD Display - MiniTV
    2x tuner slot for e.g. DVB-S2 / DVB-C * Full Band Capture (FBC) or DVB-T2 Dual Tuner
    USB 3.0
    ARM CPU (4x 1,500 MHz)
    eMMC flash memory
    HEVC / H.265 video decoding
    Plug & Play removable frame for 2.5 "SATA HDDs (maximum height of HDD 15 mm)
    External 12V power supply


    This will be a good receiver for North America if you can accept the lack of satellite blindscan, little if any support, and a bit of decrease in tuner sensitivity.

    A good FTA receiver is wanted in other parts of the world besides North America.
    Simple questions about tuner capabilities will not be answered.

    The question is the feeds we want have a symbol rate of 47,300, multistream, 16 APSK, in clear.

    Am I correct in assuming the VU+ would have no difficulty with this service?

    If so, bye bye VAST (expensive CAM controlled FTA television).

    Thanks.

    The box certainly has the options for 16apsk and to tune 47,300 SR, but I couldn't confirm if that works or not.

    Most likely, the tuner in the Vu+ receiver would allow the reception of apsk transponders and symbol rates above 45,000. The problem is the Closed Source Vu+ drivers would need to allow it.

    We are not the only ones looking for a FTA receiver.
