I am using an Intel DC3217IYR NUC as a
Front End and I like to watch at Time
Stretch of up to 2X. No problem
(Mythbuntu 32 bit with 4 gigabytes RAM).<br>
<br>
Note that only one HDMI port carries audio
and the video is very fussy (DRM?) about
what it will deliver to. It refuses to
talk to my Olevia TVs. My LG TV (LM 6700)
has to be On and the HDMI port selected
before I boot the Intel DC3217IYR,
otherwise it hangs.<br>
<br>
I was going to buy three of the NUCs, but
only using one because of these problems.<br>

Boy, does that manufacturer's site stink.<br>
As does many others. :/<br>
<br>
List models, copy and paste generalities and zero
specifics.<br>
Chase a potential customer away, due to product
advertisement by labyrinthine methods.<br>
One ponders learning how said site managers hired their
webmaster/PR type. Just to avoid hiring such
incompetents.<br>
<br>
Sorry, venting frustration. Looked like a nice unit, but
the page stinks, as so many other vendor sites stink for
product specifics and differences between multiple
models of the product line.<br>
There are times I honestly think that these companies
say, "No! We do not WANT money! We want (the method or
other effort) to suck, to chase away those pesky
customers!<br>
The rest of the time, I think, "Hire the incompetent,
they work cheaper". :/<br>

<div>I know, not the greatest site. But the units look
decent, especially the new haswell models.</div>

<div>I would have just posted the amazon link for the search
results, but I have been chastised for posting that kind of
stuff on here before :)</div>

Well, please! Save me the homework!<br>
Dealing with my 83 year old father's dementia cuts down on available
hours for homework. :/<br>
What unit would be best performing with MythTV, with a 5.1 surround
(optical coupled to receiver) and HDMI output?<br>
<br>
If anyone has suggestions for flat video to flat stereo, I'm all
ears too, if it's cheap. My father has a rather short list of titles
he loves to watch. It'd be nice to set up something for him where we
don't have to jump to change a disk.<br>
Or simply click for a new title when he gets bored...<br>
