I personally bought a $35 ODROID-C1 with a Amlogic S805 SOC that does Hardware decode of H265 (HEVC) content. The MK808b Plus detailed in the first page of this thread also has the very capable Amlogic S805 SOC.
Thank you very much wrxtasy, that's exactly what I needed to know.
I will wait for Skylake then, in the end it's a matter of few months. In the meanwhile I will connect my laptop to the receiver via hdmi for HEVC support, or eventually buy an ODROID-C1 or similar solution for that.
