Although most people run OpenElec as they are very well suited for that task.To confirm this - I'm running mine with 4GB ram and a low-budget 120gb Kingston SSD, Windows 8.1 Pro. Its slowly becoming my daily driver. Now if only I'd get HD audio passthrough to work under win8.1. Any news on this? Got a growing suspicion this is not a driver issue.

If it works in OE it has to be a driver issue - or?

If you run Windows (and poss other OSs?) Quicksync allows you to hardware accelerate H264 encoding and massively speed this up compared to CPU encoding (which on an Atom will be painful). Potentially very useful if you rip content and re-encode.
I see, thank you! So, it's absolutely unnecessary for watching movies.

yeah that is my understanding.

For people who haven't already bought one, it's worth mentioning.

Driver issue could be a bug, which we can hope will get fixed. Or it may be that Intel doesn't support this feature, in which case its still a driver thing but will never get fixed. Since HD bitstreaming works fine on the Haswell NUCs, it may be the latter?

How about XBMC install for windows?
What is there to ask? Either grab the 12.3 installer, or the 13.0 beta (oh, no longer beta, we are in RC(1) status now) Installer from the XBMC website. Nothing more to care about installing, except configuring audio for passthrough if necessary. <- Which I have yet to figure out myself why this isn't working for me, but I'm still waiting for a reply
http://xbmc.org/download/
Greetings
David
Any chance you figured out passthrough? I am guessing my AVR would rather pass through that audio

The BIOS menu does not show on the TV (invalid screen frequency) and it usually freezes on the openelec boot screen but it has mad it to the xbmc Gotham boot screen and once even made it all the way in prior to freezing.
If I hook it up to a different monitor it boots fine.
I am unable to afford a new TV. I have been trying to follow this thread but it is quite big so I am sorry of the issue has been raised and solved.
Hi Grimfandango,
I have a similar issue with a DN2820FYKH, recently acquired. I also have the latest openelec Gotham beta installed, and connected to an oldish Sony LCD 1080i/720p TV.
Also no bios display, which is I think is due to lack of support for 1024x768, which is not really a problem as I used another monitor for bios configuration.
More importantly though, it also freezes randomly, sometimes on booting, but usually within the GUI.
If I hook it up to another monitor it appears much more solid and does not freeze.
Interestingly though, if I put it into debug mode, it is much more solid, but does seem to still freeze at times.
Have you had any luck resolving your issue?

I get this on my Nuc too, up to & inc Gotham beta 3 all fine but when I install beta 4 & above get the freezing but have not tried on a different TV, will have to see if that makes a difference but it should not, should it?

Hi all,
What bios are you running on the DN2820?
Thanks.

Interesting. Can you give me the model of the tv? I'll pass it on to the team to see if they have any explanation as to what's happening and why.
RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Bay Trail 2013 edition - DN2820FYKH) - xbs08 - 2014-05-06
If BIOS isn't accessible try a different HDMI port on the TV, worked for me on a samsung HDTV.

Hi JasonHoffman
Any news about DTS-HD on Windows from the "team"?
