how does the Pivos Xios DS compare to the atv2 in terms of media player. I know atv2 lags/crashes with some higher bitrate encodes. I'll just get it to support xbmc development for it anyway. i'm just asking so I know if I can replace the atv2 with it.

It should more or less crush the ATV2 in media playback abilities.

I need help with recommendations of Android TV Box to run xbmc perfectly. I have seen lot of them on ebay but just confused which one to get. Since I'll be using it for my sitting room, so dont want keyboard and mouse. Just a simple remote is fine.
Any recommendations are really appreciated.
Thanks

The Pivos Xios DS is the only Android device with hardware acceleration right now. They are XBMC sponsors, and probably the only channel for a box with tech support/service.

Why ask us, they say it supports XBMC in the ebay post Smile

But no hardware video acceleration right now as it's a Rockchip Cortex Processor.
