Mine arrived this morning and install XBMClive easily enough. Done it twice so that i could set up an internet connection to get the skins and addons i want.

Frustrating at the moment with sound working well background sound with no speech, struggling to sort this any help would be good!

easyily if you have a flash drive setup to install win7..

mkr2204 · 2011-07-02, 02:46

well I can go buy a USB stick easy enough i guess, What would be required other than a windows 7 iso that I already have?

Just got an ER1401 and stuggling like CRAZY to get the wireless working on an XBMC Live install on the hdd. It just doesnt seem to install the driver for the Ralink WIC. Can anyone who has been successful in doing this PLEASE write me up a guide on how to do it.

Normal ubuntu install sets it up automatically and it works great. Just wish XBMC Live did the same.... Huh

Got it setup as follows:

- Windows 7 32 bit ultimate
- XBMC 10.1
- AEON MQ2
- Iplayer plugin
- Icefilms plugin
- Maplin MCE remote

I originally tried to use openelec but it wouldn't boot from the usb stick so gave up on that. Tried XBMC Live, but would have to manually configure wireless on ubuntu so didnt carry on with that either (thou now it's on the LAN so could try this).

Performance is good for HD content. I can quite happily play a 720p or 1080p MKV over the LAN.

Only thing that bothers me at the moment is the speed of the menus. I'm not sure whether this is just a AEON thing or the small amount of processing power of the nettop, but the menus with cover art are quite slow to cycle through. Is there a way to fix this?

Overally, I'm very happy. I definite bargain for £99. In fact, since I bought it I have sold my PCH A110 and Apple TV2 (with xbmc).

Let me know if you have any questions...

fyi aeon mq2 is like one of the heaviest skins so really not surprised. my dad's 2007 macbook chokes on that skin.

Hi Jason, I have a ER1401 and used the OpenElec Version of XMBC. The version I've used is OpenELEC-Generic.i386-devel-20110801-r7615. No issues with wireless, 1080 playback, audio.

Hope this helps.

Thanks coleborn. I just upgraded my av receiver / speakers so had alot of wiring around my living room to do so just added another ethernet cable to the mix into my emachine. So dont really need the wireless. Maybe on next software install I will try the OpenELEC version. Thanks alot Smile

I got an ER1401. Can someone please help me?

I've installed windows 7. Menus were way too clunky to go through and playback jittered on 480p files.

Ubuntu was nearly perfect except for no sound. XBMC Live had no wifi support I think due to missing drivers (same with OPENElec).

Any help on either the windows 7 or the ubuntu install would be much appreciated.

I've just got a er1401 and in the bios it states 47-52c temp for cpu, I've only just switched it on too! Is this normal?
