Subject: [Hampshire] What XBMC Hardware?
Hi All,

I'm putting my Xbox systems slowly out to pasture as we move to a hi-def world.

I'm after decent hardware to run XBMC on, I've already tried
OpenElec/Raspberry Pi but was not satisfied with it. I've bought a WD
Live Media Player which I am similarly not 100% happy with.

My requirements are:

* must have power on/off via remote
* must be small footprint
* menu click sounds
* quick response with no lag between button press and on-screen menu
* able to play hi-def including 1080p via HDMI
* remote that is easy to configure
* at least one USB port
* optical digital audio out nice but not essential

Do any of you run XBMC on such hardware?

I've seen a bewildering array of low-cost devices on eBay based on
Android but there seem to be umpteen million variations so it looks
like a minefield to me.

Thanks!
