Well now I can tell you, that it does make a difference, and not only is the CPU faster, it is also 64bit, instead of the 32bit of the previous models.

Inside the box:

I am testing a pre-production model here, therefore the box that mine arrived in may be different from the final retail models, as you will see in the pictures below, mine arrived with no tuners installed, however when you purchase yours, it will probably arrive with the tuner(s) you have chosen pre-installed.

On opening the box up, you find the following inside:

    Vu+ Duo4K Satellite Receiver
    Easy Setup Guide
    Remote Control (the same Universal type that is supplied with other recent models in the Vu+ range)
    2x AA Battery’s
    High Speed HDMI cable
    Detachable 2.5” HDD tray
    Power Supply unit
    Mains Power cable

​
The Duo4K’s HDMI 2.0 port is HDR10/HLG compatible.

Inside the Duo4K:

Looking inside the Duo4K, at the rear right, are the 2 advanced pluggable FBC tuner slots, which offer the following possible tuner configurations:

One FBC tuner supports 8 demodulators. Two slots make it 16 demodulators in total.

Slot A : FBC DVB-S2X, FBC-C V1/V2 and Dual T2(MTISF) Tuner

Slot B : FBC DVB-S2X, FBC-C V2 and Dual T2(MTISF) Tuner

* FBC-C V1 Tuner can only be connected to slot A

The large black heatsink you can see near the centre covers the Broadcom BCM 7278 2.1 GHz 64bit Quad Core ARM v7 cpu, then at the front right is the card reader and 2 CI slots. The mount for the internal hdd is at the rear left, and fits into the detachable 2.5” hdd tray.

The Duo4K uses an external power pack, which helps to keep temperatures down, and therefore there is no need for an internal fan.
