Dune HD Homatics Box R 4K Plus Android TV 11 | Media Player | Chromecast | Mini PC | Netflix in Dolby Vision & Atmos | 4GB/32GB, AV1, Wi-Fi 6, 1Gbit, ISO DV P7 FEL MKV AFR | HDR10+ | DTS | Voice

I bought the Dune HD Homatics Box R 4K Plus offline from authorized dealer for my home theater, but unfortunately my experience has been disappointing. The device works correctly on a basic non-smart TV. However, when connected to both my TCL C6 Android 75-inch and LG C1 OLED TVs, it produces incorrect colors. Red shades appear blue or purple, blood looks blue, and skin tones are noticeably inaccurate. I tested the issue on 4 different TV brands, so it does not appear to be limited to a single television model. I have tried different settings and troubleshooting, but the problem persists. This appears to be a firmware or HDMI compatibility issue that Dune should address through an update. Apart from this, the hardware is responsive and the interface is smooth. However, accurate color reproduction is essential for a premium media player, and until this issue is fixed, I cannot fully recommend it for users with newer smart TVs.

Also dieses Gerät entspricht genau der Produktbeschreibung. Alle wichtigen Streaming-Apps sind vorhanden und streamen wie beschrieben in 4K mit Dolbyvision oder HDR inclusive den Dolby Atmos Ton. (Eingesetzt bzw ausprobiert an LG G1, Löwe Bild , TCL Roku, Denon 4700X und LG DQP5) Die Bedienung ist sehr flüssig und die Fernbedienung liegt gut in der Hand. Genauso gut spielt er alle Mediafiles von fast allen Quellen ab und kann auch als Smb Server sehr leicht eingesetzt werden. Der Player hält alle seine Versprechungen und verdient die 5 Sterne. Das einzige was unverständlich ist das die Dune Media App - die wichtigste Anwendung des Players nicht vorinstalliert ist. Die Installation ist etwas umständlich aber gut beschrieben. Gegen über den Dune Hd Player gibt es ein paar Unterschiede: Endlich Streaming von den Premiumstreamingdiensten auf höchsten Niveau incl. Dolbyvision/HDR in Bild und Dolby Atmos Ton ohne Frust Leider erkennt der Player nicht mehr ein externes optische Laufwerk (ist auch nicht im Leistungsumfang beschrieben) sehr Schade, das war von Dune ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal. Subjektiv ist die Bildqualität von den Realtek Geräten, gerade die Skalierung von Sd auf 4K, etwas besser Obwohl es auch Zugriff auf den Google Playstore gibt, fehlen auch ein paar Apps (ran , hdPlus, sky go) Dicht an den perfekten Player und alle mal sein Geld wert. Sehr zu Empfehlen, ist den meisten Konkurrenzgeräten (dieser Preisklasse) in der Bedienung und Umfang der Anwendungen überlegen. Ich hoffe es bleibt bei den guten Dune Hd Support (und wünsche das die Funktion mit den Optischen Laufwerk noch nach kommt)

Ce boîtier Android TV offre une expérience de divertissement fluide et intuitive. Avec un accès à une multitude d'applications, de services de streaming et une interface utilisateur conviviale, il transforme n'importe quel téléviseur en une plateforme multimédia moderne. De plus, la possibilité de personnaliser l'interface et d'utiliser des assistants vocaux ajoute une touche pratique appréciable. C'est un excellent choix pour ceux qui cherchent à enrichir leur expérience télévisuelle.

Premessa: la mia esigenza principale era quella di poter vedere - tramite lo schermo della TV - una quantità di film e serie televisive accumulata in quasi 40 anni (dalle videocassette ai DVD) e riversata poi da me in vari formati (avi, mkv e mp4) su un HD esterno da 8TB (pariamo di oltre 5.000 titoli, ordinatamente suddivisi in cartelle). Pur avendone provati svariati, nessuno dei riproduttori multimediali "basic" (quelli con prezzo tra i 30 e gli 80 euro) ha mai soddisfatto le mie aspettative, per via di capacità hardware o software inadeguate . Poi ho individuato questo lettore multimediale della Dune, dal prezzo un poco superiore e... meraviglia! Tutto è filato liscio, andando ben oltre le mie aspettative. Dopo avere scaricato e installato il software proprietario "Dune Media Center" (piccola digressione: ecco, il fatto che il sistema di gestione dei file multimediali sia da scaricare in .apk e che l'app non sia disponibile direttamente sul play store è forse l'unica pecca del prodotto... ma se uno è un attimo "sgamato" si fa presto a bypassare il problema, e comunque ci sono le istruzioni - anche se solo in inglese - sul sito della Dune), ho collegato tramite HDMI il lettore alla TV e tramite USB 3.0 il lettore all'HD esterno. Il software del Dune Media Center a questo punto, basandosi sull'archivio online IMDB (Internet Movie Data Base), si è messo al lavoro e, in circa un'ora di tempo, ha riconosciuto automaticamente ed elaborato quasi il 90% dei miei titoli, disponendo per ciascuno la relativa locandina, il riassunto della trama, il cast etc etc e organizzandoli visivamente nello stesso modo con cui si è abituati a intergarire per i titoli in streaming di Netflix, Prime Video e similari... Io, che sono un tipo abbastanza pignolo, ci ho poi perso qualche altra ora per confermare la correttezza degli abbinamenti individuati dal sistema e per assegnare manualmente i collegamenti all'IMDB che il sistema non aveva trovato autonomamente (sostanzialmente perché il nome assegnato da me ai file video non corrispondeva al nome del titolo effettivo, così come registrato su IMDB). Adesso ho tutto il mio archivio video disponibile sulla TV, posso effettuare ricerche per titolo o per genere, e la visione dei titoli è davvero ottima, così come l'audio. Se i titoli sono registrati in modo da disporre di sottotitoli o di varie lingue, il lettore permette tranquillamente di gestire tali opzioni. Il Dune HD Homatics Box R 4K Plus si collega facilmente al wi-fi e dispone di un telecomando di ottima qualità e di facile utilizzo. E' anche un vero e proprio smart-box con tutti i principali servizi di streaming supportati, da Netflix a YouTube, da Prime Video a Disney+ e molti altri (bisogna ovviamente avere i relativi abboamenti per poervi accedere). Insomma, prodotto eccellente. Consigliatissimo!

So... I have this box and I have the Dune HD Premier 4k Pro. Same guts in both boxes but the 4k Pro comes in an aluminum case and can handle a hot swap 2.5" HDD. If the internal HDD is not needed this Homatics box is a good (great) option. If you are looking at this box you know enough that I don't need to go into the same details as everyone else has BUT now... Dune upgraded the box to Android 12 and as they always do they have released an updated version of their Dune Media software as well. Android 12 allows the box to Passthrough DTS HD MA now! IMO it annihilates the Nvidia Shield it just replaced. I have it hooked to an 85" TCL QM8 and the picture and sound are so good I just want to stay home and watch movies I used to think were mediocre because they look so good. The 4k upscaling is about on par with the Nvidia Shield AI upscaling set to medium to my eyes if you've seen that, which is really good without being too sharp. The box will allow you to play literally everything in HDR if you choose to set it that way or will play native SDR as SDR and HDR as HDR. If you set the box to play everything as HDR on my TV I see that its converted to not just HDR but Dolby Vision and looks remarkable (be advised, Samsung doesn't support DV but it does support HDR10+ which IMHO looks better than DV anyway because it doesn't crush blacks as much, and this box gives you that option). Color pops and the playback is smooth on both streaming and movie files, it all looks good and sounds good also. The Dune Media software is user friendly and I enjoy the way they have it categorized, it looks really clean and organized, something everyone likes to see. Also upgraded is the box's ability to play fractional framerates, which cleans up the smoothness of fast moving scenes. It's been able to play every video and sound codec I've thrown at it so far, and has done it properly without a hiccup or stutter, like flawless actually. This upgrade to Android 12 has been significant to say the least. For the price this Homatics Dune box is really a sweet spot for both streaming and files. IMO it allows your tv to look as good as the TVs capabilities as it also handles both 8 bit and 10 bit color. Personally I'm sold on Dune now and I guess I'm going to be a Dune "fan" if this is what they do lol. If Nvidia ever releases a new box I'll try that also though, investing in technology is the only way to continue getting better tech. You really can't go wrong with this box with this new update and it says something for the company to release these updates instead of trying to sell you more equipment, they are certainly dedicated to their reputation. This is a cinemaphiles box that does streaming really well. Yes, Dune makes better boxes for file playback but I want one that streams 4k services without any issues so choices are limited. With all this being said, obviously I would recommend this box to my personal friends without hesitation because the return on investment is high here and the picture quality is glorious.

I've been waiting for this box to get the Android 12 update, and now that it has, I decided to take the plunge and test it against my Nvidia Shield. The new update has fixed all the previous bugs and this box blows the Shield out of the water. Its fast, has a built-in media server and the picture and sound is utterly amazing. I'm not exaggerating, I have numerous boxes including ATV, Amazon 4k cube and shield and nothing compares. I wasn't expecting a huge difference in picture quality because frankly, the Shield is so good but the difference is like night and day. HDR and Dolby Vision are better - the picture is sharper and the colours are superb. If you're thinking about it then make the move! You won't be disappointed but bear in mind the box doesn't come with Android 12 installed. You have to do this yourself using a USB drive.
