Thought I'd register to comment. Because I'm cheap I think my comment is - expensive to me. The old model Play (Openelec) is 81.15 Euros at the moment, and was 64.90, with a (presumably single) DVB-S2 tuner, Its replacement is apparently 139. What exactly makes it worth 57.85 Euros more - what do you get apart from a better processor. Please enlighten me.
The Play S2 is apparently 117.85 more expensive, for 1GB/16GB more and an extra tuner, really ? Again I'm cheap, but still.....

For the kind of quality support you get w/WeTek, well worth it. I've tried a few cheap S905 boxes and they've all been lacking, with poor support.

The orignal Play is.... slow.... it's going to be like night and day for people who need the performance boost. There's also 4K playback, HD audio, mSATA (can't remember if mSATA is Play 2S only or if it is in the Play 2 as well), HEVC, and some kind of card slot that I think is used for DVB-S2.

a triple dual-tuner 4k receiver box with stable software
What marks it is triple dual-tuner 4k receiver box with stable software - 299 € price?
I think it's a triple tuner (2xDVB-S2, 1xDVB-T2) not a Triple-Dual tuner (i.e. 6xDVB-S2)

Am sure those bits add up, but they add up to quite a lot, and I think a bit too much. But then I've never run a company and never had to price a product.
Anyhoo, is the DVB-S2 tuner definitely a Dual tuner, and is it the same (dual) tuner for the Play 2 and Play 2S. Maybe I can get away with a Play 2 seeing as it has the same processor as the 2S and most of what I would need / want.
Also does anyone know if does that network TV streaming thing so I could maybe use it with Emby / Kodi instead of a HDHomerun. Thanks.

Well it is the 6th of May, so let us see if the Hub pops up as predicted.
