OTHER GT media GTX Combo

[k4otl]

Anyone have any experience with these? Claims 4:2:2 support. I'm not in a hurry to buy another receiver, just curious. There's also a slightly older version called the "GTcombo" also on ebay for ~75$ that claims 4:2:2 support.

If they're telling the truth about them using the S905X3 chip, that does apparently support 4:2:2.

Personally, I have no desire to ever have another Android TV box of any variety, unless it's free. But that's because I was burned by a buggy piece of expensive junk called the Amiko A3. (I suspect it was actually a hardware bug, but I still see no reason to have such a bloated, ad-and-spyware-infested operating system.)

I bought a GTCombo that claimed to do 4:2:2, it doesn't. Doesn't have the horsepower and either pixelates badly or drops the frame rate down to 10fps or less making it unwatchable.

I would definitely search for reviews on that particular one to see if it can. I have not heard of any box that can do it aside from an old Azbox (that doesn't do 4:4:2) or a commercial unit.

Can this be streamed to a PC where VLC will decode the 4:2:2 like I do with the osmio4k?
