Firstly thank you for allowing entry to the Forum.
This is my first post so please be gentle and I am sure this sort of question has been asked before, especially with the news from Kaleidescape but I have carried out a quick search and cannot find detail.
I have a Premier system that I have used for many years (probably around 9-10) and only had to change the 1U out after it fried. My system comprises of:
1U
M500
4 x M300
With the current Premier product line ceasing sales, what is the best way to go for continued enjoyment? Add a Strato S, buy a new 1U+ and extend warranty, although understand that all data would need to be transferred as 1U drives are not to be sapped across to 1U+.
I have been told by a local dealer that buying a 1U+ is not cost effective, he advised adding a Strato S but then added current content on 1U could be upgraded/downloaded from Kaleidescape store if on there at a =cost of £5 per title?
Would it be advisable to swap out M300's for Strato C or add coStar
As a way of system explanation the 1U is in my rack with the M500 fed through a Matrix to the cinema and the M300's supporting 4 of the bedrooms etc
Any advice would be greatly appreciated and sorry for being a total numbskull at this.
