Customer Review

So, I have now this "small" box once rate, since I was already really long looking for a 1080p-capable Xbox replacement and missed very painful, unfortunately, at the existing media players my XBMC Feling.

Since the OS included on a USB flash drive and multi boot-enabled (Ubuntu clone called Everest, Boxee, Win7 (if you the to be installed), to me the whole boot process takes far too long, because as I said only one XBMC as a multimedia solution . am interested in helping XBMC on Windows you should not do anyway, but prefer to operate under Linux Since the meinsten people react with "Linux" rather deterred, here is a simple and powerful alternative:. OpenELEC

To prepare quickly built a 2.5-inch 320GB hard drive (just cover to fasten plate with two small screws, cover again) and through the Internet a current OpenELEC brought (for ION2 / Ultra) and thus a bootable USB Installer stick created.
Then just einstöppseln the prepared Installer stick and the Xtreamer Ultra boot. After just 2 minutes from the XBMC was bootable on the drive and from there. The box comes up and spoil me with rich 1080p via HDMI image, even video material is reproduced with 24p within 15 seconds. Just awesome. Incidentally, all add-ons such as the wireless mini keyboard incl. Touchpad, remote control and wireless out of the box without difficulty be recognized and supported.

I am really very pleased with the box. She offers lots of connectors for home theater cabling and even the previously mentioned fan is not completely inaudible, but next to my LCD projector, HDDVD player, Xbox 360 and PS3 really sound overly absolutely negligible ...

Oh, by the way OpenELEC the abbreviation for "Open Embedded Linux Entertainment Center", so to speak, a special tailored to a processor type mini-Linux, in which the XBMC has been integrated. This makes it extremely fast and very fast bootable because only the necessary drivers must be carried along.

Infomation can be found here: [...]

Of course you can also use other hardware than the Xtreamer Ultra with OpenELEC. However, anyone who has no leisure to put a lot of time in the tinkering and configure and quick out of the box solution addicted addiction with a tremendous amount of accessories, is served here really hervoragend.

And before the question comes again: No, it does not support Bitstream via HDMI, we, the new sound formats are therefore not output via HDMI, the hardware can not be easy.
