Got mine last night. I didn't realize you could install XBMC on it; I'll
have to try that.

I installed the Plex app and was surprised to see that my MythTV channel
came across (It doesn't show up in Windows 8 or Xbox One). It defaulted to
the lowest quality setting and was awful. I mucked around and got it
running pretty smoothly with the 12mb/sec setting.

I'll have to research where the bottleneck is - I assume it's my wifi - But
playback of 1080i recordings at that 12mb/sec setting works really well so
far.
