I have it installed on my laptop and have always wanted to get an Android box with it on. Which one are you using?

As an alternative to Android, if you enjoy a bit of DIY computing, try a Raspberry Pi with XBMC

No, a LONG way from it - and they seem horribly slow as well?.

they are not that slow once you tweak the XBMC settings, along with a pretty basic XBMC theme.

Even with a minimum XBMC install and basic theme I'm very under-impressed by their speed
![]() the one i have seems to have no issues with speed when scrolling thru the menus. |

My Media PC was built with XBMC in mind. I'm using this case from Silverstone (in black) and the Aeon Nox theme.

![]() Its pretty quick going through the menus, but I find the TvCachup plugin slow but just about usable if you reduce the EPG guide down. (note: plugin doesn't run with Gotham. NOOBS installs Frodo, but you need to boot XBMC and disable sys updates). But what is really annoying me is that I prefer Plex. And there is a pugin for XBMC to use the Plex server, Plexbmc. Can I get it working on the Pi. Can I heck |
