waipu.tv waipu.tv Box, 4K with HDR10+ and Dolby Vision review

The only device here that supports both HDR10+ and Dolby Vision — two separately licensed formats — and the only one built around a single German platform.

The bottom line The best HDR support on this shelf, in a box tied to one national service — which is both its strength and its boundary.

The format support is genuinely unusual

HDR10+ and Dolby Vision together. They are separately licensed formats, and manufacturers normally pay for one. A device carrying both plays either as it was graded, which removes a compatibility question most people never learn they have.

The boundary

It is built around waipu.tv, a German television platform. That makes it a service device rather than a general-purpose one, and it is the single most important thing to understand before buying it — more important than any specification on this page.

The two practical details

An ethernet port, which fixes stuttering better than anything else, and an illuminated remote, which is used in a dark room every evening. Both are the kind of thing that only shows up in daily use.

What is not stated

The DRM certification level. As with the whole shelf.

How to judge it

As part of a subscription rather than as a standalone box. If the service is the reason, this is the device for it; if it is not, a general-purpose box with a broader licence set is the better purchase.

Availability

On sale at around 129 € on the German Amazon store at the time of checking.

Listed but with no offer on the French and Italian Amazon stores — the reference exists there and nobody is currently selling it.

Not found on the American, British and Spanish Amazon stores, where the buy link falls back to a local search rather than to a page that does not exist.

Prices and availability are what Keepa reported on the date this page was updated; both move.

What we like, and what we don't

Strengths

  • Both HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, which are separately licensed and rarely both present

  • An ethernet port and an illuminated remote — two practical details most devices skip

Compromises

  • Built around a single national platform, which limits it outside Germany
  • DRM certification level not stated
  • A device tied to a service is a device that depends on that service continuing

Questions people actually ask

Why is having both HDR formats unusual?

Because HDR10+ and Dolby Vision are separately licensed, and manufacturers usually pay for one. A device supporting both plays either kind of HDR content as it was graded, which removes a compatibility question that most buyers never know exists.

Does it work without a waipu.tv subscription?

It is built around the platform, and how it behaves without one is a question for the service rather than for a specification sheet. A device designed around a subscription should be evaluated as part of that subscription.
