Will be getting one of these boxes for testing it soon, maybe during next week. Really interested how the XBMC 1080p HW decoding works as Im planning to replace my ATV2 with it if it works. How do I control the box? Doesent look like any remote is supplied with it, but maybe I can use my Harmony One?

New firmware for the Prometheus came out.
It now supports usb bluetooth adapters.
I'm still waiting on XBMC support, and for them to actually fix the AC3/DTS decoding issues over PCM....hdmi passthrough works great(except my HDTV doesn't do DTS decoding).
The prometheus is getting better, but it still doesn't hold a candle to the little quad core stick I have. XBMC support will really make that much of a difference to me.

Got my Tronsmart today, but no luck with any XBMC builds to get HW decoding of videos.

I received new firmware for the Prometheus today. Fixes the AC3 audio problem, but the DTS audio problem still exists.(1 second static, 2 seconds audio)
Next firmware will hopefully fix it.

Build it yourself, Pivos binarys are not guaranteed to work on non-Pivos hw boxes.
