The 4000 is the most stable, user friendly stb on the market. Excellent support from coders, low in cost, good picture quality, looks good too. It just runs perfect and is very smooth. Epg is the best I've seen. Usb file loading is an awesome feature. Anybody looking for the best needs to look no further. This box is an upgrade to any other brand!!!!!!!
