Loving my P6 Unlimited. Android Box on steroids :flexed_biceps:.

Excellent summary thanks Troy. Yes the P6L (unlimited model) is definately overkill for most people but for those who do stuff like NAS, network shares, internal servers and so on, this box is the bomb. I certainly don’t use this box to its full potential. Yet.

Troy, Thanks much for your review. As people on your site know, I am pretty much a Ugoos and stock android aficionado but after seeing your initial review along with Miki’s commentary, I bought the S6 Unlimited. Thus far, this device has exceeded my expectations in terms of performance and future proofing capabilities. If Buzz TV can improve on the interfacing with VOD and TV Series this box would be just about perfect. My only caviat is for the price, this better outlast me!

One thing I have noticed. After recording an hour long TV show as an experiment, I cannot get it to play with TiVimate internal player. I have download and installed VLC and that works. I just have to use play with external player.

The SoC doesn’t support Dolby vision so it may harm is sales imo.
For streaming the specs are overkill but if you are into android gaming then it may perform well.
But the review didn’t cover it’s gaming performance that 64bit os are suited for.

I’m not big into the video/audio formats but found this AI info.

Dolby Vision is available on the Buzz TV Powerstation through pass-through, meaning it can be output from the device to an external display that supports Dolby Vision. However, the Buzz TV Powerstation itself doesn’t have native Dolby Vision decoding capabilities; it relies on the connected display to handle the decoding.

Please help me better understand this. If your TV can already handle Dolby Vision decoding, why does it matter if its done on the box or the TV?

I have a Samsung TV so it’s only HDR and I haven’t t found any reason to need or want DV. My system does use Dolby Atmos. The picture I have on the TV is so amazing you’d swear you’re looking out a window and watching the scene unfold right before your eyes. I don’t miss the upscaling as I get a lot of 4k and 4k HDR scrapes to watch.
