    Sumvision cyclone mini pc

    I've been seriously thinking of buying an android device for Kodi/XBMC as my Techno solo se isn't up to it when it comes to non satellite functions and then noticed this baby just now being advertised.
    Anyone bought one of these from our sponsor and if so would they recommend it?
    Spec seems really good for £120 and also has added bonus of running windows

    I'm using one at home for Kodi and Plex Home Theatre. Imo fantastic. Played everything I've thrown at it. Kodi giving me DTS/DTS HD/True HD passthru, amp reporting PCM. Plex giving me DTS/DD TrueHD audio. Leave mine running constant as it has very low power usage.

    Hi Sicilian;
    did you try BR ISO? Here I am a bit disappointed by my FireTV as it does not play them over the network very well.

    ciao

    To be fair BR mkv rips are usually about a third of the bandwidth as a full BR ISO, especially if it is 3d as well

    Who mentioned Blu Ray MKV? Blu Ray AVCHD I've tested have full DTS/DTS-HD/DD True HD Audio tracks, minimum of 30GB in size.

    can this box run windows programs?
    I've got a subscription to a VPN provider and have it running on my laptop with no problems.
    Can i add the service to this Box?
    I've tried putting vpn info on my router but unable to get it working. (Not bright enough )
    If it can i'll certainly be buying one.
    Thanks.
