    P.S...I would be surprised if it couldn't run h265 in 720p, dut with the exception of the people that bought one of the 254's, it wouldn't be a tragedy if they didn't run h265.I tested several mag models & they really aren't very good at all:the worst video quality of all the units I've seen so far.

    C&P:

    H265/HEVC was developed with the goal of providing twice the compression efficiency of the previous standard, H.264 / AVC. Although compression efficiency results vary depending on the type of content and the encoder settings, at typical consumer video distribution bit rates HEVC is typically able to compress video twice as efficiently as AVC. End-users can take advantage of improved compression efficiency in one of two ways (or some combination of both);

    At an identical level of visual quality, HEVC enables video to be compressed to a file that is about half the size (or half the bit rate) of AVC, or
    When compressed to the same file size or bit rate as AVC, HEVC delivers significantly better visual quality.

    I don't think anyone confirmed that it will use half the bandwidth in the long term. You can initially start with half the bandwidth and keep same image quality. But then on channels that there is a demand for better image quality, you can increase the bandwidth, but not necessarily up to bandwidth point where it was before. It is always a balance you need to find. Better image quality requires more bandwidth, and also required a little more server horsepower if it is going to be doing it on the fly.

    Does anyone know if the older red and white Avov TvOnline+ receivers are HEVC 265?
    I couldn't find the specs on Avov's site.

    I couldn't find the specs on Avov's site.
    It uses an "Amlogic S805 Quad Core Cortex 1.5GHz A5 Processor" and "GPU Quad-Core Mali 450 (Open GL ES2.0/1.1, Open VG1.1, Flash 11.1)"
    You can look at the original user guide via the google cache link here. Not a pretty link, but you can make out the specs on page 4.

    For the CPU, there is not technical reason it can't...
    Amlogic S805 - A low cost SoC similar to M805 with quad-core ARM Cortex A5-based SoC with Mali-450 MP2 GPU running at 500 MHz, with hardware support for HEVC/H.265 decoding up to 1080p.
    Not it can't do 4K, but it does say it can do H.265 1080p [email protected] 60fps.

    Now are the codec integrated, that is a different story. But if it is not, they could in theory add it with a firmware update.

    This should increase quality and reduce bandwidth

    Would the Dreamlink T1 be ok with this update? or T1 is also outdated?!

    Most will agree that the Buzz xpl 3000 is the golden box at the moment
    I also like the Zoomtak with stbemu

    Although I haven't tested the Buzz yet, it seems to be the weapon of choice.I'm an htpc guy now.

    The buzz does have a great user experience with customer support and when used with ok2 service then you are experiencing heaven

    Agree....Many friends are/were Mag users but since we tried the buzz 3000, no looking back. Even the guide works way better.
