Hi mate.
Thanks for all the help, I dont know if I will go for a ssd or internal drive. It all depends as I am still awaiting on amazon to get back to me about a Sedatech Mini pc.

I couldn't get the fire tv stick remote to work with windows so I ended up installing openelec on a usb flash drive using the info here. Works great.
The only thing I am wondering is whether or not to add another 2gb stick of ram. Everything is fine at the minute but I'm starting to play about with HEVC/x265 encoding to save space. Does anyone know if more ram is beneficial in this regard?

Hi Mediapi.
Many thanks again for the help.
The display port from Ebay hasn't arrived yet so just waiting for that.
So far £80.07, £10.13 and £4 for the display port cable seems decent.
Just need a bluetooth dongle, possibly will get a wifi adapter but it isn't essential.
I probably will need a wireless mouse/trackpad so around £100ish for a decent kodi/htpc/pc is not too bad in my opinion. The Amazon box is £79, or £49 depending on when you bought it and I do find the amazon tv does not offer the same flexibility as a fully fledged Pc system and that too with Windows!

I've discovered a very weird piece of behaviour on my box which may explain the problem LarrxX had with his display port adapter,
I finally got round to setting up my Pipo X7 for my friend so unplugged it and boxed it up, when I went to my HP later in the day I had no HDMI output but VGA was working,
having tried all the usual steps like different cables and different ports I connected up the Pipo again (plugged into the mains but turned off) and the HP started working via HDMI again, disconnecting the Pipo recreated the error.
So for now I've had to plug in my unused Now TV box to the TV to keep the HP working correctly, I've recreated this error on a different TV so unless anyone else can shed any light onto this behaviour I'm going to assume its a quirk with this display port adapter rather than a fault with the HP 260 G1.
As an aside can anyone who's received the sata cable tell me if it includes the power connector as well as data? If not how did you power your sata device?

I have my HP260 running through my Onkyo 626 into my Panasonic GT50 TV and all works well, the only issue I am having is the windows start screen is just a little to big for the TV, makes it a little difficult to close down as the icon is out of reach, has anyone with a similar setup have this issue?

I need some help and it's a bit off topic. I have set the. Hp up to launch kodi on startup using launcher 4kodi programme. I have also set up advanced launcher to launch the windows Netflix app inside kodi. I used a guide I found in the Internet whereby It launches a shortcut on my desktop. It seems launcher 4kodi launches kodi in a shell which means it is unable to launch the Netflix shortcut. If I load kodi normally by booting into the normal windows desktop and then launch kodi the advanced launcher worsks....is there anyway to get the two programme working together? Thanks
