I have played with several pivos boxes. They can't handle 1080p sure some movies play fine others do not. It's even slow loading the add ons icons. The jynxbox works a little better but yea still slow. I think the Apple TV 1 with Broadcom chip works ok. And I think a custom box would do well
They can handle 1080. If it can be hardware decoded then the Pivos should be able to play it. Everyone on Team XBMC has one and can verify this. If your unit is slow even loading add-on icons then something is really wrong.
It's not that I don't believe you. I think this really is happening to you. I'm just saying that it's not normal.

The flavor of Q190 I am referring to is the Celeron 847. You would only need the i3 if you need 3D. The Celeron 847 Q190 is often on sale on the Lenovo website for $249.

Celeron version for xbmc
But if you can wait, then wait.
New android boxes will come with quad core.
Nuc will have ir built in, so no need for flirc.
You could also use a second hand laptop with hdmi output. Change power settings to do nothing when you closer the lid, and use wake on Wi-Fi lan.

Doesnt matter much now as it is not available anywhere anymore.

If you can get an ION2 machine for $200, go for it! I love my REVO ION2 machines.

Just don't spout tosh that they've been discontinued.
Quote:The flavor of Q190 I am referring to is the Celeron 847. And when I went to lenova's website they confirmed they had a q190 with a celeron 847 but that it had been discontinued. So I am "spouting" exactly what the manufacturer told me. The fact that there is a separate model number that happens to contain that chipset doesn't change the fact that the q190 w/ a celeron 847 is no longer produced. Unless there never was a q190 w/ a celeron 847, in which case the guy at lenova was an idiot who misled me.
