Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone has tried using an old Android mobile as their HTPC?
I have all my movies etc on a big NAS drive and so local storage isn't an issue.
It supports HDMI out and so I can run XBMC on it and have it plugged into my TV.
Power usage would obviously be LOW and the spec's on these just keeps getting better and better.
I just cracked the screen on my HTC Sensation and so am thinking maybe I can set it up as a HTPC with it plugged into my TV.
I'd be using XBMC Remote on my tablet or new mobile as the remote for it rather than the actual screen so a 'touch interface' doesn't matter.
