Hi guys,
So I am looking to upgrade my XBMC experience, but I need some advice as I'm a big noob in this. So far have been using the OUYA, and although it plays almost everything smoothly, it is slow to navigate, which really becomes annoying after a while.
So I have been reading the forum for a while, and I reckon it is possible, if I sell the OUYA, to get a much faster htpc with little investment. I can sell the OUYA for 70€, and am thinking about spending a maximum of 80-100€ on top of that. I have been looking at alternatives, and it seems that most people recomend either a NUC or a chromebox (FireTV seems pointless in Europe).
My TV does not support 3D / 4K, so although it can be nice for future proofability, I would not spend money because of that. 1080p is required. On this budget , what woud you buy? NUC, Chromebox or something else? And which model?
Thanks!
