Ram or lack of it is a downer isn’t it.

Why ? Just expand it with a usb or HDD

RAM 1GB DDR4 only , he means the onboard memory, not storage

Very much what you get in a budget receiver, still very capable..

If you want a bit more ram in a receiver that is still affordable have a look at the AB Pulse 4K rev 2

Dunno if it's worth the upgrade tbh,i got the UE 6 years ago and it has the same processor as the latest Quad and the UE.
Sat box upgrades really do move at a glacial pace.Wish i had kept my ET8500 😢

Its not in my opinion but it does have 4gb ram the UE only has 2gb

Id not upgrade just for that on a satellite box.

I'm on a bit of an upgrade mood after changing hifi components but looks like i will have to try again in 5 years time for a sat box 🤣
