Completely immature and without support!

First of all, you need a lot of technical expertise to the box to configure. Wen is still dares are 2 variants with Linux or Android 4.0 (ICS) for flashing available. For standalone operation with XBMC Linux would be the first choice, but the manufacturer has discontinued support for the still very immature beta software. In the current and past state of not even work the on / off switch and of course there is no update of XBMC Frodo to Gotham. Too bad, because only under Linux is the performance when playing HD movies reasonably satisfactory. However, even if one does without the 5.1 audio playback at HD movies. It's me that is not able to reproduce a trouble-free and reasonably synchronous playback with my Yamaha AV receiver.

Performance under XBMC is made even more dramatic with Android ICS as a substructure. No HD movie is played smoothly over Ethernet, the sound is completely asynchronous (as also does not help the possible correction), the box is not configurable to 50Hz, etc .. For Android there is probably also an update and the manufacturer claims, that in the future the official XBMC app for ARM processors can be used. I have the new version of XBMC 13.0 (Gotham) installed and am of the performance, just as it did from Frodo, very disappointed!

Conclusion: Here was hammered together a completely overburdened ARM hardware on the fly and carelessly tossed with 2 operating systems on most beta level and with alleged XBMC suitability to the market. Support in the form of updates was set obvious to upgrades is also out of the question. Only if you dispense with the functionality of the media player (with XBMC) and intends to use the box as Android-PC for surfing, email, etc. on the TV, the box has a certain justification. Too bad, but forget XBMC and thus the universal media player with this box!
