Hi everyone. I currently have an ATV520 by Geniatech. It works great. Certainly it has its quirks, but everything I've thrown at it has worked surprisingly well. It worked so well I have just given it away to a good friend, and am now looking at purchasing a new one for myself.
So I am considering purchasing the same box (atv520) but have been doing a little research into the newer quad core boxes based on the Amlogic S802 chipset platform. I really don't care about the number of cores because I don't watch anything over 1080p. But I am worried that the atv520 might not get Android or XBMC updates in the future and so am thinking a newer box might be more 'future proof.'
Can anyone confirm that they have one of these M8 boxes running Gotham well, including addons? If so, which ones are proving to be fairly stable?
Thanks for your advices!
PS I would really really like to support Pivos here. Any ideas if they're about to put out a fast second gen box within the next month?
