The Android receiver is also similar to the Marusys PrismCube Ruby which is all ready out in the Euro market and is supported by BlackHole coding group.

Just received a tracking number from Carlos, the receiver is in Louisville, Kentucky. It should be here by tomorrow or Friday. Looking forward to testing it out on ku band.

Cool, looking forward to your review.

The Android receiver is also similar to the Marusys PrismCube Ruby which is all ready out in the Euro market and is supported by BlackHole coding group.

The Prismcube Ruby retails for 279 Euros. The Qviart Undro is now listed as available from December 12th for 149 Euros! So I'm assuming that the similarity is only in software, rather than hardware. (Although, the Ruby has two tuners, I think.)

149 Euros is an unbelievable price, if the box is really as good as it sounds. (Keep in mind that just because it says it has blind scan, doesn't mean it's fast or accurate... We need to see actual test results!)

True on the price difference. It originally retailed at 249 Euros then they corrected the price. Now some places selling them as high as 299. Inflation LOL....

"(Keep in mind that just because it says it has blind scan, doesn't mean it's fast or accurate... We need to see actual test results!)"

True again... I learned this the hard way when a receiver was advertised as blind scan only to find out it was a software/list based scan.

My main purpose for a receiver is to blind scan and to test its tuner sensitivity. All other aspects are secondary.

With these receivers having more powerful processors and linux or android software, would it be safe to say that 4:2:2 could be decoded with the right software inside the receiver and played back? Kind of like playing 4:2:2 recorded from an S9 openbox back through VLC?

It depends on the chip being used. The chips that have 4.2.2 capability are more expensive. It all depends on the market the manufacturers want to target.
