Nice board. I see it has wifi antenna connectors, a real bonus compared to most sbc's.

The specs require royalty free, but not necessarily open source, video acceleration. Without open drivers it may be difficult to get kodi devs interested.

EDIT: 12V/2A does not bode terribly well for power consumption.

Yes - three aerials/antennae are included in the box.

Yep - I'm not hugely hopeful of any specific dev support. The combo of GigE + USB 3.0 + HDMI 2.0 is still quite rare in platform terms though. (Plus it has support for a whole bunch of other stuff that is more Set Top Boxy - like card readers, DVB tuners, PCI-E card etc.)

I'm guessing having an on-board PCI-E slot and also supporting external TS-connected DVB (or other flavour of DTV) tuners means it needs to include capacity for more than just the board?

Yes of course pci requires 12v I think.

Libreelec guys might be interested.
