You had me excited... then I realized they all use AMD GPU's... damn!</div></div></div></div>

Apologies for my naievvety, I looked into what to use some years ago and ended up with Atom/ION Revo's and havent had the need to buy anything since. </div>

Coupled with an Atom CPU that is to slow for HD decoding, and your stuck with a box that won't play modern content (when running Linux). These devices would be fine in Windows, which is what they were intended for.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>Now, perhaps one could use a Windows compile of the frontend on one of these, but most of us don't choose that route except as a novelty as Windows builds are less stable and have limited support available. If only AMD would get off the asses and write a decent driver/API ?</div>
