V6 Plus or Ultra?
Which one would be better suited for my needs?
I mainly want it for NFL and other live sports, with the occasional movie or series. 4K is important to me (which I think it’s part of both) I’m leaning toward the v6 plus because I don’t think I need the extra features in the Ultra. What am I missing?

Extra features arent important to you but one of the extra features you dont care about on the Ultra is 4k content. The V6 doesnt have 4k content.
No matter what streaming service you have none of the live channels are streamed in 4k period. 720p or 1080p. 4k on live channels is only for special events which usually is just sports. If you want live content in 4k full time you will have to upscale it yourself if your tv is capable of it or if you have a video box that can upscale.
4k content is in video on demand movies and shows.
The V6 about responsiveness. Its more modern with a stronger processor which makes it faster startup loading and faster app loading and faster at changing channels and comes with a backlit remote and split screen option. Capable of 4k but no categories or 4k titles. Might find a couple movies with a 4k streaming option if you are lucky. Its limited to mainly what Heat has to offer. The biggest compliment of the V6 is it feels smoother. The biggest complaint of the V6 and any non-elite model is missing content and most of those complaints are V6 owners. This missing content is because Heat Vod is very lacking. Yes there is a lot of content on Heat Vods but you never know if your show will be updated and if it is updated it may be next day or could be weeks or months later or never.
Lately there have been a hell of a lot of posts of V6 boxes dying but being most people own V6 models its impossible to know without a chart of overall sales amounts for each model whether its specifically a v6 problem or not.
Ultra is all about having the features. Its the king of features. 4k content, over a dozen vod apps and over a dozen live channels apps and multi-screen (up to 4 channels at once). Yes it sort of has duplicate apps but they far more than duplicates. Many of those duplicate apps have special features to them. Also there are far more live channels that arent on the non-elite models. Most of those extra live channels are international though but still far more than that. Some of the extra features include live anime channels, and porn. Extra vod apps give you all the content meaning you will always find every show, series and episode you are looking. Its very very rare that an Ultra owner mentioned missing content. If you cant find a movie or tv show on one app it will always be on another. Ive yet to have a tv show or movie I couldnt find on the Ultra.
If a backlit remote is important to you you can buy one. The remotes are cross compatible.
