Take a look at the new android console "OUYA" its supposed to run xbmc pretty well and also has games to keep the kids entertained

Cost around €100 i think.

What ever you do don't purchase that thing on ebay, its WAY over priced and would only take you 20mins to set up yourself. Loads of vids on youtube to should you how to install xbmc on android and navi X.

that looking interesting

I just briefly skimmed over it but cvan you pause TV and record shows with that box? Or is that even an option with any of these boxes yet?

Ive to do a lot more homework on them yet as there relatively new to me,

Also there seems to be some misadvertisement, do any of these boxes stream XBMC in 1080?

I'm going to purchase something today there is such vast choice it's hard to know whats best, also technology in this streaming game seems to be moving very rapidly, What I might buy now I'll have to move to the kitchen in a year I'd say once new boxes start coming out,

I've recently bought an mk908 and sent it back and yesterday I got a box similar to the one above with rk3188 and both have problems streaming from xbmc. I'm going to send the new one back as well.

Are you going to try another one? What seems to be the problem? I'm streaming from my SGS3 without any probs, Just hard to find certain channels and in good quality.

The streaming isn't smooth even through eternet,but using my pc its fine. So I don't know what the problem is.

After a bit of thought I eventually bought this today, looking forward to seen how it works now, I'm not expecting miracles but it seems its the way forward,

Is there such a thing as paying someone to supply there streaming service for high quality reliable channels instead of scanning through the free ones?
