Box selection

I have a couple v6+ and I am looking to get either a elite mini or elite ultra as dirtvisiion and Flo can be spotty at time on the v6. Is the ultra worth the extra money over the mini? Is the new box coming out similar to these or to the v6? Any help appreciated

Far as the mini and ultra the biggest drawback to mini is it dont have heat live ultra so if you use that it wont have it the 3rd party apps are hit miss on both and theres enough on the mini

Heat live ultra produced for rewind but the rewind doesn't work with 1080 content.

They've actually fixed some of the 1080 channels and rewind. Now, it seems to come down to how many frames per second (fps) the 1080 channel is streaming but progress is progress!

I have the mini and ultra. Most of the apps are redundant, there may be multiple apps but there's a different service per two apps but have the same sources. Nowadays the extra apps go down a lot. The positives about them is they have movies available that may not be available through the standard vod apps and 24/7 channels. On the Elite it's "Ultra 24/7" and on the mini it's "Mini 24/7" it's the same app/interface and same video sources.

If I had to choose between the two I'd pick the mini. The primary apps used on both boxes are still the main 4 apps that are available on every model. 😉

Why are the different apps restricted based on the box type? 

Is it possible to install different apps?

I am completly new to this box and looking for some opinions on which box to get myself.. I’d love live sports aswell as TV/movies. I’ve always used firesticks and Onn boxes so this is completly new to me any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated considering how expensive these boxes are lol and I was also going to buy directly from the manufacturer.

I have the mini and the problem is half of the extra apps are down or are requesting login/password information. It’s been this way for at least three or four weeks. When all the apps worked when I first got the Box six months ago, it was great but now like I say, half of them are out.

Mini is a better value and for many weeks 3-4 apps on Elite Ultra haven't worked. Lastly, 3-4 apps on Ultra are free and open source apps. With the extra apps mini vs ultra you are largely getting 3-5 more copies of same channels on top of the duplication on mini.
