    I've been using a Wetek Play running Libreelec but it might be on its last legs so I'm thinking of upgrading. I really like the Libreelec/Kodi setup using TVHeadend for the free-to-air live TV channels as I have a couple of Kodi add-ons that are essential to me. Can anybody suggest a better box that will offer me the same or a similar setup?

    Not meaning to be smart, but maybe Wetek Play 2?

    Alternatively, you could continue with your current Wetek box as a backend tvheadend server and install a RPi 3 on each TV for 50 quid a pop all in, install LibreELEC on those and point at your tvheadend running on the Wetek.

    In what way is the box "on its last legs"?

    Yeah, the Play 2 might do the job I guess. I learned a lot on the original Wetek as I knew nothing about setting up a box before I got it. In terms of learning a PPi 3 might be fun too, but it could also be a headmelt for where I'm at knowledge wise.

    Every few months the original Wetek crashes on me and I have to recover with a Msd card. It's annoying but I've been able to get it back running in an hour or so. It went down again a few days ago and I can't get it up again. The light is on but it won't do anything when I try to recover. Then the power light started flashing so I'm figuring it might be a good time to upgrade.
