Hi Peter,
Thanks for that - sounds like they are doing a "Raspberry Pi" with
their device. It's interesting learning about new hardware projects
like this.
That being said I won't be a guinea pig for this and OpenElec :) I'm
really sensitive to stupid little things not working like menu
sounds/clicks which was missing from the Raspberry Pi build. I'd
rather have something thats been out a few years and that people have
tried OpenElec on.
After some research I've decided to go for an Acer Revo 3600 which
according to users on the OpenElec forums runs pretty well with most
of the stuff I care about working. It is an Ion-based board which has
very good support.
I'll give a follow up once I have it all configured.
Thanks
