Well... that's my cir receiver so far
Couldn't even mount it to the perforated side cover because it only came with 2 bolts for mounting the pcb to the bracket. No bolts to mount the bracket to anything else.
It is working beautifully tho. Didn't have to do any setup at all, even in bios. After the initial power up, it would do everything in openelec, and it would both power the pc off and on. Nice.
About i3-3225 being overkill... Yeah you're right.
I guess I just wanted a most powerful cpu that I could run cool from a pico psu and didn't require a separate video card. Read

about the hd4000 being better then llamo and that was it...
About hd bitstreaming on ivy (sandy?) / openelec. I've read somewhere it will be available in frodo, and there's actually a way to make it work on eden... just can't find that post right now...

Oh wow... Now I'm even more confused about the CPU choice...BUT, we all build our boxes the best way we see fit!
If I build a powerful Intel i3-3225 XBMC HTPC, I'll be sure to fully utilize it with Windows 7/8.....
Here's the link for intel HBR stream patch for linux:

Don't have a 7.1 setup. That's more for the future. Using synology nas for my other needs.
CpTHOOK why would I choose i3-2100 with hd2000 / 65W instead of is-3225 with hd4000 / 55W if the price difference is only $25?
BTW anyone knows what the requirements are going to be for h.265 playback?

Also wandering how I can check for the exact frame rate output?

So... Found those fancy bars:

And now that I know what judder and tearing is...
So with a display that can play 23.967 natively... with "Adjust display refresh rate to match video" on and "Vertical blank sync" and "Sync playback to display" off you don't get any tearing on nvidia cards what so ever?
(pls check on faster.23.976.mkv)
Maybe I should look for that updated bios...

Can you press o and tell us your frame rate and dropped frames? Wonder how it compares to trinity

Can someone confirm the above?

Which number are we looking for? 23.98 in the bottom line looks rounded...
