    I'm looking at that as back up once my TV subsection runs out next month if they don't give me a good deal for the next season

    Anyone buying Android boxes make sure you know what system chip it uses and check what it supports on the Kodi Wiki otherwise you might have no hardware acceleration.



    The above Tonbux has a very well supported Amlogic S805 so should run fine.

    The only other issue to consider with these chinese Android boxes is ongoing firmware support. The company might support it going forward or you might be ShitOutOfLuck. But thats the chance you take.

    I did read something about that...but wasn't sure what was going on

    Ideally I'd like something that can replace the wdtv and firestick and do both jobs. If I can use it for Netflix and Amazon Prime, all the better (cos it means I won't have to get the PS going)...
    O OK...if you want stuff like Amazon prime Netflix...I would go either for a Amazon fire box or a decent android TV box...as you have the best of both worlds...apps for Netflix etc but can have kodi to manage most of your local content

    You said you got a fire stick what's your issue with it?

    All Pi's are hardware accelerated, the newer Pi's have CPU's multiple times faster and more RAM than the older ones.

    Once a Pi is set up and going its no less easy to use than anything else and is almost as small as a Fire Stick. Still a decent X86 based PC with a few Gig of RAM will provide an overall smoother experience in my experience. But at the expence of a bigger footprint.
    Just sent you a message on hangouts

    @groundhog it really depends on what you want..out of your media centre...ie do you like downloading? Or do you like to stream.
