I realise this has been posted today, as it happens not an hour ago I ordered the Homatics box R 4k plus which is the download for that box.
I will probably receive Homatics Box sometime next week.
I can beta test when I receive the Box I have my trustee Odroid N2 to fall back on 
Thanks
Hello,
I installed Coreelec Omega image to flashdisk, it works fine too. However, I have TBS USB Tuner, in two different models. I did but it didn’t work.
If this happens it will be great for me.
What can I do or what can we do about it?
And with this, I ask for help from dear friend @vpeter .
Kind regards…
This might be a stupid question but the does it make any difference if one has the DuneHD Version of the Homatics Box?
Oh and I read in AVSForum that CoreElec enables the device to bitstream lossless DTS HD MA and with that DTS:X. Is this true?
CoreELEC is another operating system, and yes, DTS-HD MA, DTS:X is enabled, but it’s not now, it’s always been enabled.
That’s confusing. Does DTS:X bitstream on the Homatics 4K with this build?
mmmm, CE21.0-Omega alpha1 fails to boot on my Tanix W2-S905W2 2+16G box.
I understand upgrade is no go so used SD for fresh install, but it stuck at Tanix logo-black screen 2 sec, then still Tanix logo with some moving artifacts,wait for about 5 minutes with no change.
Tried newest nightly build, the same.
CE20.1-ng works fine. Btw I installed CE20.1 to emmc, no idea if this is related.
I also noticed dtb for S905W2 in CE20.1 is different in size of that in CE21.0
Yes, as written because of aarch64 it’s best to install everything from scratch.
This does include to restore Android first on eMMC!

Don’t confuse it with Android, regardless of what that system supports.
Same situation on TX3 mini+ (s905w2). Coreelec is probably booted since I can browse CE folders from win PC, but no picture, just the artifacts as you described.
So CoreElec does bitstream DTS lossless just fine, regardless of what the device supports is what you are saying? So the answer to my original question would be yes, CoreElec does enable the Homatics device to bitstream lossless DTS audio (since it does not do so with the current stock Android build).
Regarding thequestion about the DuneHD version, I read somewhere that it’s not the exact same hardware but looking into it it just seems to be that the DuneHD version has an IR receiver which the pure Homatics box does not. Is that correct?
Error-free, internally installed in a cheapo X4. Everything works as expected.
(Actually upgraded from 19-ne-nightly, no problem with upgrading whatsoever)
(PS Although no errors in log, there is still this old issue with video playback stuttering after pause>resume in some videos)
OK, so I reverted back to Android and tried again for CE 21.0 (USB burning tool not working even with newest 3.2, not recognizing the box luckily Amlogic_Burn_Card_Maker_v2.0.2 saved my day).
The result was the same, stuck at boot logo with artifacts. Like @MilePule mentioned if I plug in the wired cable the box did connect to the router with an IP, but since it was during first boot ssh was not enabled so I cannot see what is going on.
I took the liberty and switched the dtb back to the one used on CE 20.1 and vola!! It worked!! Boot normally and I even installed 21.0 on emmc!
FYR, the dtb I’m using is with this MD5 included in 20.1:
s4_s905w2_2g.dtb- 1b248203bf8b9b53cc0a7a7623c39173
Another issue is connecting to a WPA2/WPA3 mixed wireless AP is impossible, system reports “No Input/output error”, no idea if it is realted but to me it feels something like the one mentioned here
But another old S905 (no postfix, just S905) box with CE9.2.8 can connect to the same AP without any issue!
If change encryption to WPA2 only then CE can connect to the AP fine.
Oh i spoke too soon … Lots and lots of lines like those:

Ok, thx. So the error is in the kernel update and should be able to be identified. I will see what I find on compare this two versions.

@avin please try this dtb with CE-21 alpha1 on S905W2:
Just replace your dtb.img with it and test if it’s normal again.
Regarding thequestion about the DuneHD version, I read somewhere that it’s not the exact same hardware but looking into it it just seems to be that the DuneHD version has an IR receiver which the pure Homatics box does not. Is that correct?
Yes, it is correct.
