Amiko has discontinued the Mini HD RE. I have been discussing this with them and they have decided it was time to move on to faster chip-sets and H.265 capable units. I can understand this. The RE had the same class of Ali chip-set that were in many receivers over the last 10 years. New firmware for: AMIKO Impulse, Micro HD SE, AMIKO MiniHD SE, Amiko CHD8270, Amiko HD8250, Amiko HD8260, Amiko HD 8150 2018.02.12 New firmware for: Amiko HD8150.

Well guys I hate to have to post this, but alas I have no control over it. Amiko has discontinued the Mini HD RE. I have been discussing this with them and they have decided it was time to move on to faster chip-sets and H.265 capable units. I can understand this. The RE had the same class of Ali chip-set that were in many receivers over the last 10 years.

Like the Openbox s9,s10, The first Manhattan, etc. Ali now has faster chip-sets that are double or more the speed etc. This same thing happened when boxes started coming out that could decode DVB-S2.

Although there were many great boxes still out that were DVB-S only, they could not decode S2. So everybody had to have S2 capable boxes. Currently I am testing a replacement box that will still be around the $100 mark. I will update everyone in a week to 2 weeks on how that is going. I will also say this. As always I will continue to offer support for anyone that bought a RE just like I did when the SE was dropped.

Remember this was supposed to happen with the SE. When the SE was dropped that was it for that class of STB's. After many emails and phone calls they brought the SE back in two versions the SE(SCART Edition) and RE(RCA Edition).

Avic hd3 firmware update. They told me that that will not likely happen again and they will move forward. So there you have it my sad news of the day. Actually, I have known this for about a week, but I wanted to discuss with them more before I made it public. Well guys I hate to have to post this, but alas I have no control over it.
