Flirc is pretty amazing. Fyi. I programmed several remotes. Now anything laying around controls XBMC. Win!

BOXDN2820FYKH0: $133 shipped
- includes IR receiver (no dongle needed, which is nice)
- includes power cable
- has BT and wifi
- N2820 Celeron
Was able to get 2GB of RAM for $17 on ebay. I'm trying to decide on whether to boot from USB or get a hard drive, but if I go USB, I can get a 16GB USB3 drive for $15 or so. Add that up, and it's under $165, which is cheaper than the Chromebox. Had a friend of mine recommend this build to me, so I know it works.

Questions for a Chromebox Netflix/Openelec setup:
1. Can I use Flirc and a Harmony remote to send keyboard commands to switch between Openlec and ChromeOS with a dual boot setup. Or is a keyboard needed full stop to switch between the two. ?
2. We all know most Android devices cannot output 24p content properly, does Openelec running on the Chromebox have the 24,50 and 60Hz video output options and will Openelec autoswitch my display refresh rate based on content playing ?
3. Any CEC contol on the Chromebox, ie turn TV one from remote when Chromebox has been in standby ?
Thanks.

It's a Haswell x86 box running OpenElec (which is a cut-down Linux distro) - nothing to do with Android. It also outputs DTS HD MA/HR and Dolby True HD with no problems.

After reading a lot of posts I share with you my problem, I have some issues in my new HP Chromebox with SeaBIOS (version rel-1.7.5-82-g8d...), I tried to make the standalone installation, and it was not successful.
The SD cards I was using to install OPENLEC and saving the BACKUP, are no longer available, seems they were not working properly (F*ck!)
Now I'm trying to make a Factory reset, but no luck, check the below image. I followed instructions posted in the wiki and also I used the Chrome tool, selecting my device, but although seems start working, it stops in the first second...
What can I do? I tried to do the same that other users commented here, but nothing fixes the problem.
Thank you
