    I do, its a nice little box, very snappy.

    Stock ROM is a bit pants tho, its alright if you want to use android but all I use is Kodi, so I flashed an openelec ROM onto it. Runs x10 better.

    Only issue with it is the remote is ****e, I just use a k400 keyboard on it.

    basic android openelec?32 or 64bit?

    I much prefer Windows boxes tbh for HTPC use.. Better at decoding file formats and codecs.

    I have the Z64w by MINIX which I find fantastic.

    Looks like an interesting way to get both Kodi and Netflix on one box with a remote.

    What's the best android set top box? nVidia Shield?
