[rumor] Xtrend new models for 2014

[BlueIsMyColor]

It's useless to buy a new expensive DVB-S2 receiver now, new standards are cooming up like 4K (Ultra HD) H265 and HDMI 2.0, so it's not clever to spend so much money for an old H264 receiver.

That makes sense. But it's the market functioning. The evolution doesn't stops and the manufacturers want to continue to make money.

dear lots of people want to upgrade their equipment with a good box for present needs .

4k receivers will be obligatory to watch on sat after many years.

after all we are still on mpeg2 channels on satellite.

i do not think mpeg4 receivers are yet past.

I disagree with you my friend

Ultra HD tecnology will be come after 10 years in sat receivers and the cost of them will very very high.
Moreover the cost of a tv-set with ultra HD for now is about 20.000€ and more and I think that very few people or maybe nobady can give these money for a tv.
So, I believe that the new tecnology is very welcome
but we have to wait until the prices drop enough in normal level for most people.
