[REVIEW] Ustym 4K PRO
The uClan Ustym 4K PRO is widely considered one of the best “all-rounder” 4K receivers on the market. It gained a massive following because it combines high-end Huawei Hisilicon hardware with a unique Dual-Boot system, allowing users to switch between the specialized Denys_OS and the fully customizable Enigma2.
## Full Review: uClan Ustym 4K PRO
The Ustym 4K PRO is a “Combo” receiver, meaning it handles everything: Satellite (S2X), Terrestrial (T2), Cable (C), and high-end IPTV. It’s built like a tank and designed for users who want a professional-grade media hub that stays fast even with heavy 4K streaming.
## 1. Hardware: The Hisilicon Powerhouse
The heart of this machine is the Hisilicon Hi3798MV200 chipset. This is a quad-core 64-bit ARM processor that provides a massive 15,000 DMIPS.
-
Memory: It features 1GB of DDR4 RAM and 8GB of eMMC Flash. This is double the flash storage of many competitors, making it the king of Multiboot. You can install 4 or 5 different Enigma2 images (OpenATV, OpenPLi, PurE2, etc.) and still have room for picons and plugins.
-
4K Performance: Supports 4K UHD @ 60fps with HDR10 and HLG. The image quality is exceptionally sharp, with excellent upscaling for SD and HD channels.
-
Networking: Features a true Gigabit LAN (1000Mbps) port and built-in 300Mbps WiFi with two external antennas for superior range.
## 2. The Dual-Boot / Multiboot System
The Ustym 4K PRO stands out because of its software flexibility:
-
Enigma2 Mode: Use it as a traditional Linux hobbyist box with support from all major teams (OpenATV, OpenPLi, etc.).
-
Denys_OS Mode: This is a proprietary Linux-based OS that is much more “user-friendly” and optimized for IPTV. It features a slick, Netflix-style interface and is excellent for Stalker portals, M3U lists, and YouTube.
-
Switching: You can easily swap between these two worlds via the boot menu, making it perfect for families where some members want simplicity (Denys_OS) and others want total control (Enigma2).
## 3. Tuners & Advanced Features
-
Combo Setup: 1x DVB-S2X (Satellite with Multistream support) and 1x DVB-T2/C (Terrestrial/Cable).
-
Multistream & T2-MI: Essential for enthusiasts who want to pick up professional “feed” signals that standard receivers can’t see.
-
Blindscan: Features high-speed hardware blindscan, which is a major advantage for “feed hunters.”
-
Kodi & Chromium: Because of the ARM CPU, it runs Kodi and a Chromium web browser with mouse support much better than older MIPS-based boxes.
## 4. Connectivity & Design
The box has a clean, professional look with a 4-digit white LED display on the front.
-
USB 3.0: Includes a high-speed USB 3.0 port on the side for fast recording/timeshifting.
-
MicroSD Slot: A dedicated slot for extra storage (great for picons or EPG data).
-
Card Reader: 1x Universal Smartcard Reader.
-
AV Output: Includes a 3.5mm jack for analog output (RCA), plus an RS-232 service port.
## Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| 15,000 DMIPS: One of the fastest, most responsive boxes available. | No CI Slot: It only has a card reader, so no support for CI+ modules. |
| Gigabit Ethernet: The gold standard for 4K network streaming. | Size: It’s a medium-sized box, not as tiny as some “Mini” 4K sticks. |
| Dual Antennas: Excellent WiFi stability compared to internal antennas. | Learning Curve: Managing Dual-Boot/Multiboot can be tricky for novices. |
| 8GB Flash: Massive space for multibooting different images. | Remote: Functional, but some users prefer a “clickier” feel. |
## Final Verdict
The uClan Ustym 4K PRO is arguably the best “bang for your buck” 4K combo receiver. Its combination of Gigabit LAN, 8GB Flash, and Dual-Boot software makes it significantly more versatile than the WWIO or Vimastec models.
Best For: Users on enigma2.net who want a high-performance 4K box for feed hunting, multibooting, and high-quality IPTV all in one device.
