services run perfectly if setup correctly, have good internet & a decent service provider, in general the problems people encounter are due to lack of knowledge & following poor advice, I have yet to see any device be as user friendly & work as well as Enigma2, there are faster/higher spec devices available but out of all the devices I have used over the years E2 ARM devices give the best user friendly experience IF setup properly, this is only my opinion but it comes from years of knowledge & understanding working with many platforms.
Understandably many give advice due to personal experience which is fair enough but it's not always correct due to a lack of understanding of these systems
