Running an Odroid C1, as well as a standard x86 Linux box.
With the latest builds, the C1 has been rock solid stable and very nice. I'm running Android, and it handles all the 1080p content I throw at it perfectly. Normal HDMI to the TV setup. Best, it also runs Netflix and web based streaming flawlessly too.
I'm definitely of the opinion the C1 is an ideal dirt-cheap alternative to the Pi2 if you want Netflix as well. Of course, you can run regular Linux too, but I've found Android works really well for my purposes, and is a bit more bulletproof.
