Hi Guys,
I'm reading this forum since year or something. I was thinking about new device but still postponed this... till today?
Some time ago I thought that HiMedia Q5 Pro would be great choice for me. Now I think that it's expensive box which isn't perfect. Later on I was wondering about Wetek Hub or Wetek Play2/2S.
So let's start from my current config:
TV - (not too smart) Panasonic 42" (plasma) - love it
reciver - Yamaha RX-V673
high quality 5.1 speakers
storage - Synology DS213J
Harmony 555 remote control
Additionally I have KODI installed on RPi2. More over I have borrowed from friend Chomecast v1 (for netflix purposes).
What I need:
1. Skype or other video communicator. I have external camera on USB.
2. KODI - library is located at NAS
3. Netflix - I wish 5.1 audio
Nice to have:
4. IPTV. My ISP is giving me IPTV with dedicated set top box. It would be nice to have everything centralized on one device.
5. Spotify without turning on TV with easy remote mgmt
6. Casting content from computer/phone on TV screen. Like currently chromecast does.
Of course I'm thinking about future - 4K, 3D, etc. It would be nice to be prepared for that as in two years I will change TV for sure. Question is if this new box will survive so long
Last important thing is how much I would like to spend for that... let say that this much as it has sense
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
