Any pricing info yet on the new AMD Fusion stuff? I'm looking for something built around the Zacate platform.
Also, does XBMC 10 support AMD's APU out of the box?
My Theater: JVC X790R + Peerless PRG-UNV | 120" CineWhite UHD-B Screen | KODI Nexus + PreShow Experience | mpv | madVR 204 RTX 2070S | Panasonic UB420 | Denon X3600H @ 5.2.4 | 4 x ADX Maximus w/ Dayton Audio SA230 | 3 x Totem Tribe LCR + Mission M30 Surrounds + SVS PC2000 + Monolith 15 | 40" HDTV w/ Z83 + MoviePosterApp | 40TB Win10 SMB Server over Gigabit Ethernet

What is the annoucement? I have 2 x 1st gen apple tv's with the bcm15 crystal HD card and to be honest i'm quite disappointed with HD Content streaming. It's mostly not stable, sometimes certain movies play fine and othertimes 720P mkv's freeze every 15 seconds, it's very subtle but annoying on a projector. It's not losing the card because turning off hardware acceleration makes in not even viewable. The other annoying thing is some downloaded mp4's won't play sound at all but do on the PC.
I would like to scrap the ATV and go with something else. Can someone suggest a STABLE alternative for streaming all my HD content? Something that will just work everytime. I have a gigabit network, DOCSIS 3 (pretty good for australia), FreeNAS server with RAID 5, 5 x 1TB SATA 6gbps drives, high end projector and amp. Really want a GOOD device to play the content, ATV is letting it all down. I have a PS3 but don't really like the interface compared to XBMC and don't like UPnP.
The ATV is great for non-HD content, never skips a beat.
I hear these ION systems are pretty good? I might get one off ebay. Any advice? Preferably SSD for XMBC install, HDMI, Gigabit, Can play 1080P, supports wireless remote or iphone app, has a blu-ray player (not essential as I have ps3), quiet, SFF.
