I have yet to find all the UK TV programmes I want reliably on my M8 (early) purchased in September, yet I notice that there is a new model M7 Ultimate (does that really mean 'last'?) for sale. I presume the software and XBMC are the same for both, but what are the practical differences?

I'm assuming you're referring to the X7 Ultimate?

Differences: the M8 is based upon AmLogic chips, where as the X7 Ultimate has RockChip chips.
Your M8 has a fast CPU and more cores in it's GPU.
I believe the storage space is the same.
The M8 is newer than the X7 Ultimate.
The M8 can display UltraHD (4K) resolutions, the X7 Ultimate can't.
They can both handle Gotham XBMC.

Would any customers like to give their opinion on the differences, from an end user's point of view?

Re the UK TV programs, are you looking to watch the individual episodes of TV series and films, or live streams of the channel? If live streams, let me know which channels you've not found yet, and we'll see if we can find anything.
