Better than H.2S?

[Pasty82]

Any different to the H.2S? thinking about getting a new box

differences

The only difference I have found is that the H5.2S has a different BCM73625 Dual core processor and additional HEVC H.265

Unless someone else knows of any.....

Jerico is spot on. Overall speed is not noticeable I don't think so on the face of it, it is only the fact that it will hardware decode H.265 encoded videos or channels. As we don't have any channels encoded in it, it leaves you with videos and I haven't see any as standard yet.

If you want a faster box you would be better looking at something with a faster CPU, something like the Edision os Mega at £179. Works exactly the same way, but will feel a lot faster through the menus etc. Then the list goes on and on and on with numerous boxes at costs increasing.

There is a value to getting this box IMO. IPTV service has increasing number of HEVC X265 encoded movies/series. Will it be worth the extra £15 remains to be seen.
