As @Profile closed says, faster and better, and that’s where the action is now.
On the downside, the remote is short a few buttons, so you have to learn some unintuitive keypress actions to replace them. On the upside, the remote is Bluetooth, so doesn’t need line of sight, and pairs with its box, so you can run two of these side by side and not have the remote working the wrong one.
On the upside, you just pair the remote with the Box Pro while that is connected by HDMI to the TV, and it will suss out the make of TV and program itself for it. On the downside, if it doesn’t recognise your TV, you’re stuck - nothing you can do about it, except go back to an older IR remote, which does still work it.
There’s no SCART output or phono outs on the new box. Besides the HDMI, though, there’s an S/PDIF that might work,
Factory Reset has now been joined by a Keep Recordings option. No more scrabbling for Maintenance Mode.
I’m sure there is other good stuff I have missed - more simultaneous recordings, WiFi connection, HDR and Atmos (but no Dolby Vision), but this and the few other downsides don’t stop this being a big improvement over previous boxes.
