Wanting to update my Kryptview A780

[bigjon]

I am after a bit of advice please, I started many years ago with the eurovox then approx 2 years ago when all failed moved up to the kryptview a780.
this box has been fine, done everything that I could expect and is still performing but I feel it is time to move on and was wondering if anybody could advise me of what to move on to.
I would like something fairly simple to use and set up (fl**h) HD would be an advantage, and must be reliable and not requiring frequent updates.

I have looked at internet and saw phantom and M8 but cannot find any information on these so looking to the experts for a bit of guidance.

thanking you in advance
