    Looks impressive.

    One thing gets me from these companies is that they dont even go to the trouble of having a youtube video demo on their products.
    Its free advertising for them.
    At least potential customers could see their new product in action to decide if they like it or not...

    All,

    are these Fbox working OK ?
    Was planning getting one for kitchen TV.
    It needs to be easy use and reliable

    One other thing. I cant understand why manufacturers don't put up videos on Youtube on their new devices.

    anyone else had buffering issues on XBMC?
    Ive had the box for about a week now, and find its playback of 720p movies on XBMC over ethernet a bit disappointing. Lots of frequent buffering. Tried Plex too, but failed to play some content. This is probably due to plex rather than the device though.
    Anyone else having playback issues on XBMC?

    Havent this box but buffering on local Ethernet network should nt happen.
    I have Rasp PI and PC with XBMC and no buffering during playback from NAS or PC share or from DUO or even online has no buffers.
    Have you buffering on PC or laptop from PLEX.

    I also have several Rasp Pi's with a mix of plex/xbmc/rasplex etc.. All work perfectly. aswell as a couple of revos with XBMC. But just recently bought this box and experiencing the buffering issues.
