Hmm is there some known issue with openelec and a6? I've read people's thread running A6/A8 in the openelec forum I assume it's straightforward install (like my zacate). |

It is branded as Dell, but it work fine with Sony laptop.....for $67, it come with disc and key...! >Alienware X51- do it all HTPC >Simplify XBMC configurations >HOW-TO Bitstreaming using XBMC I refused to watch movie without bitstreaming HD audio! |
