People still recommend them.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">The Intel graphics are the only con I can recall, and even then it is only a matter of personal preference. Since you are accustomed to Intel graphics, you should have no issue. There may have also been some initial configuration difficulties mentioned and solved in the past.</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">-Tom</div></font></span></div>
<br><br></blockquote><div>It may be just me, but I never managed to solve the config difficulties on mine. When it runs it runs great, but I have two annoying issues when switching on my TV (the Liva is on 24/7):</div><div> </div><div>1) Screen resolution: Either Mythfrontend only fills 1/4 of the screen or it is over the borders. Restarting the frontend solves it</div><div>2) Audio is often missing. Sometimes solved by a frontend restart, but not always. Starting Kodi (and shutting it Down Again) is the only consistent solution I have found</div><div> </div><div>Best regards,</div><div>Thomas</div><div> </div><div> </div></div></div></div>
