Guest sipart Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) IMHO this is big big news for Android (especially under the TV): http://xbmc.org/theu...mc-for-android/ Seems like development has been on something called the PIVOS XIOS DS set-top-box And what do you know these seem to be readily available in the UK as the Sumvision NANO 1 slim (and slim+) NANO 1 Slim + is £79.99 delivered http://www.7dayshop....ducts_id=113931 Also at ebuyer for £77.99 delivered http://www.ebuyer.co...yclonenanoslim- and NANO 1 Slim is £75.99 delivered (only differences being 1 less USB and no RJ45 NIC socket as far as I can tell) http://www.7dayshop....ducts_id=113555 Sumvision page http://www.sum-visio...o/nano/nano.asp I've been a user of XBMC for many years - still use my softmodded original XBOX with XBMC for iplayer and other catchup services (and games and upscaling DVD playback!). Also used is on MAC's and Windows + the great Raspberry PI with RASPBMC http://www.raspbmc.com/ :-) XBMC is cross platform and been on IOS for a while - but as the new Apple TV isn't jailbroken yet the 2nd gen ATV's go for lots of cash as they are Jailbreakable and they run XBMC - so big opportunity for Google to get under the TV - but just not in Googles intended way! Really looking forward to this - hope Paul and Modaco see the potential in this as well. Some further info from research - but it's in this xbmc.org post: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=136149&pid=1148355#pid1148355 Cheers Edited July 15, 2012 by sipart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest comicbookguy Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Looking forward to this. Wife's Arc S has HDMI out my Gnex as remote, travelling media centre sorted! Shame it won't be supporting Tegra 2, tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sipart Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Not perfect (but the non tegra builds aren't either) - but it's a start :-) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29737205 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
