Flex 4K - UK version

[GtMonster]

Please can anyone advise if the 4K unit will work in the UK? I know we don't have ATSC 3.0 broadcasts at this time, but I'm looking to future proof?

I just want to make sure it can work with DVB-T and DVB-T2 as per our current standards.

Thanks.

The Flex-4k is sn atsc tuner NOT a dvb tuner. Don't let the 4k fool you into thinking it's better with 4k in its name as ALL of the HDHomeRuns simply just pass the bits so all are capable of 4k or even 8k if such streams are broadcasted where you are but you do need the appropriate tuner for the location i.e. an ATSC tuner, a DVB tuner (latest models support both dvb-t/t2/c), or an Isdb tuner depending on where you are).

For the UK you would want a dvb unit such as the Flex Quatro HDFX-4DT(UK).

The DVB-T2 capable models already support 4K if a broadcaster is transmitting it or if your cable provider has 4K channels unencrypted over DVB-C. Italy, Spain and France have some terrestrial 4K broadcasts, but not the UK's Freeview who is doing the reverse and having channels switch back to SD after they lost a Mux to 5G.
