If I want a box right now that plays 4k@30 Hz content with either H264 or HEVC what would you recommend? I just bought my father a Beebox a couple of weeks ago and so far it seems that it can play all 4k content recorded by his camcorder (that should be 4k@60 but H264 I think) - however since he has no 4K TV yet it will be outputted at 1080p. Apparently no box today (aside from SHIELD) can output 4k@60 or am I missing something?
I just ordered a 4k TV but since my Receiver supports only HMDI 1.4 I'll also be limited to 4K@30 which should be good enough for me. I don't need Netflix or anything else on the Box as the TV comes with Android, so I just need the Box to run Kodi / Openelec.
So which should I go for? SHIELD, Braswell aka Beebox or WeTek Core (that will probably the least popluar choice for me since I'm used to controlling everything using my Harmony IR Remote)?
