When it comes too amlogic based boxes I'm kinda skeptical about the now with still being on betas and the future with perhaps having pivos moving to a tofu platform. Ned here said it should be fine but isn't the amlcodec and amlplayer specific to xios's dev? and not part of the android released for xbmc you have to pull it from pivos site if you want it. Its all gpl ok but seems like outside of xios the future with amlogic based could be troublesome for other boxes maybe? according to the pivos forum:
"For XBMC, fixes will be pushed as usual, whether or not M1/M3 go beyond 12.2 remains TBA"
what happens with old boxes after tofu like the m1 versions? If anyone knows more or heard some rumors please add.

I tried one of these devices and it sucked. Buggy, sloooooooooow, and since it is a custom Android build, forget about compiling your own builds or PVR addons if they need to be updated. I switched to a Raspberry Pi and OpenElec and will never look back. For $62-$65 (Raspberry Pi, case, 8GB SD card, and codec licenses) I have a device that works a lot better than the MX2, it was cheaper, and I can compile OpenElec with newer versions of cmyth (MythTV frontend) to watch live TV in HD.

Ooops I forgot to mention if anybody could recommend a decent Coaxial cable for the MX2 as I need to connect this to my Cambridge Audio surround sound system ?

I agree the customer support is terrible. Recently shipped back a box got it back still had the same probs as when was shipped. my jailbroken apple tv2 has been much more stable. they need to get the system more sollid. the boot problems are insane. Also agree that its a fix it yourself box at the moment
