I would be happier with the prime 6 being announced.

I just saw this. Have they announced pricing? I want one

Rumor was $199. Not sure if this is fact yet or not.

I'm not holding my breath. They have been promising a single unit 6 tuner 1 cable card since 2015 or something like that.

After @@cayars point out here https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/72143-growing-drm-channels/?p=726546 about the interface speed, I've been second guessing whether or not to just get another prime 3, among the rest of the discussion in that thread. My thoughts have really changed on the prime 6 after others pointed out my misconception of the prime 6. Not sure it's worth it.

Even though I am not holding my breath for the prime 6 that will be the only option. The parts to make a new prime 3 are no longer available.

Ebay and Craigslist are the only option to buy a used one.

"[*]Detect HD HEVC channels and indicate HEVC channels on the channel lineup webpage."

 

Does this mean it'll tune these or just report the existence of the encode?
