The last six months I was using NUC DN2820FYKH installed with Openelec on 500GB 2.5" notebook hdd to cover my couchpotato and sickbeard needs and I was pretty happy. The problem became when i decided to move my cable tv to my OE with USB DVB-C tuner and realizing how uncapable of deinterlacing this chip is. So now i'm looking for something which can provide a very good picture with deinterlacing. I really like the integrated IR receiver of NUC and the exptra space for 2.5" hdd. I dont really like to give up this things if not needed because I will have to conenct to USB ports:
- flirc(if there is no integrated IR)
- USB HDD (if there is no space for 2.5" hdd)
- xbox 360 gamepad receiver
- CEC adapter (If i understand right this is to suspend my tv (its Toshiba with regza link so it should work))
- USB DVB-C Tunner
- occasional flash drive for some photos
But I really want the box to have a nice deinterlacing. From what i read intel NUCs need to be hasswell but its still buggy and dont really wnat to spend twice as much as bail trail was just to see its not ok. Also read some users says AMD is doing good job but i'm not familiar with all possible AMD mini pc, there is a nice looking Gigabyte Brix but with no IR and no space for 2.5" hdd. I had a micro ITX Fusion build before but I had to replace the cpu fan frequently because it was getting too noisy even with a new fan it was uncompareble with the almost silent NUC DN2820. I read that nvidia got the best deinterlacing but couldn't understand does it mean ION or other GPU.
I'll be greatful for any help and thought of choosing the right hardware.
