Hi
I've been using xbmc for a while on a ideq 330p which is maxed out hardware wise.
Problem is it's not silent (i've fitted better fans and controllers) and i'm fedup big time as i have to turn the audio up when the films go quiet. I also have 2 under 2's asleep upstairs so not good.
So i decided to invest in a boxee box 2 weeks ago. I have 3 x dlink dns-323's with 2 x 2tb in each (all my media is already scraped and stored on the drives). I ran into issues straight away with the unit crashing as soon as i added just one drive (never had an issue before). I then gave up trying to add my media after spending 3 days adding media and it crashing then when i was on the last drive it reset and i lost everything. I then decided to just play a 8gb mkv, then one of my children started crying near the end of the movie. I paused and went to sorted her out and when i got back the screen was black and the unit had over heated. I have now returned the item.
I have now purchased a xtreamer ultra 2. It should be with me tomorrow after the purchase system and tracking on the xtreamer site is next to non. I have had so many issues trying to find out where my system is.
Whats your thoughts on the system? as i have found no reviews and no unboxing or anything....
I will upload a youtube vid with a review once tested and up and running.
