Was there ever a verdict from the early adopters of these? Are they usable<br>
as MythTV frontends?<br>
<br>
- Does audio work in Linux?<br>
- Any video acceleration support with VAAPI?<br>
<br>
<br>
They work as frontends quite well. There are some problems with them be so new<br>
though.<br>
Audio over HDMI does not work as yet. i.e. the device is not recognized at all.<br>
The wireless works when you build a module from github.<br>
The bluetooth is not recognized. It's part of the wireless networking chip.<br>
<br>
VAAPI works well. I have an external USB soundcard plugged in and a USB ethernet<br>
and it's<br>
a perfectly usable frontend. Pretty much all my content is h264 here in NZ.<br>
<br>
I would however wait till audio is supported over HDMI before getting another one.<br>

What is the wireless chip in these devices?<br>
