What's the difference between the H.2H and the H5?

I have done some research and apparently there is a H5 model that is available.

Is the H5 meant to be faster or does it have the same specs as the H.2H?

Anyone bought one of these boxes yet?

There is no real difference.
Better picture quality. Can play mkv files.
Hardly faster than the H5 & No popular images for it just the standard stock image which then you have to install all of it. Just stick with the h2h - not worth the extra money in my opinion.

Stick with the h2h my mate got a h5 and he said that it's not worth the money. There's no real difference everything is the same just picture quality is slightly better but that's only a small thing

The CPU in the H5 is the only difference, the H5 CPU being the next revision of the one in the H2H - it includes hardware HEVC support. Everything else is the same. It's no faster and there are no additional features, just HEVC support.

Basically, the H5 can "support" 4K HEVC video. I say "support" as chances are the tuner won't support how VM roll out 4K, limiting you to watching 4K content from USB or Network shares.
