The German Magazine c't tested this box and they described how to install
vdr or tvheadend as a backend and use a hard disk for the recordings while
kodi is used as frontend.

If the MythTV Plugin is available it could act as a Mythfrontend machine.
But to my mind it would be a very interesting use case to run this box as
Mythbackend:
- the power consumption can't be that high, so running it 24/7 won't kill
your electricity bill
- 2 tuners are built-in
- attaching a hard disk is possible
- it costs only 99 EUR
I would be very glad if someone shares experiences running this box. :-)

Thank you
  Jens
