Upgrade from an old wetek play

    • New

    Hello, I need a new HW to upgrade my old wetek play dvb-c. I could buy used wetek play 2 which is still supported by LE for about $50 but wanted to ask if other viable options exist today? Basically, I need a cable tuner capable of 4k and h256

    The last official WP2 image with support for the internal tuner is LE 9.0 and there's a community image for LE 9.2. The newer AMLGX image has no support for the tuner cards and S905 is from 2015 so I really wouldn't waste $50 on WP2 as an upgrade. If the WP1 is working for you as a DVB-C receiver I would continue to use it as a network tuner-only device and invest the $50 in a new client box or board. RPi5 is my go-to recommendation but probably needs a few more pennies than $50 saved.
