hopefully this comes out on schedule in May and I am sure to order one. Hopefully it will replace my NUC and FiretV.

I'm sure they won't at launch, but they list compatibility with Harmony right in the specs, and have to know that part of this target audience with this box will be streamers (the Roku, Fire TV, Nexus Player crowd). They would have to come down on price a bit to directly compete.

Unfortunately all options (currently) don't have the ability to stream DD Live sound to the frontend, and this isn't worth it without surround sound.
That would really make this a wonderful kick-ass streamer/gaming console. I have an nvidia gaming PC and if I can put it away in a closer somewhere and get this to play all my high end games such as Crysis series, I would be over the moon.

However, I would caution anybody looking to get one, if it's possible things like HD audio pass-through may not work out of the box. There is probably going to need to be some tweaking to Kodi to get those things working.

it is possible by pass os limitation with proprietary app, i hope android tv fix this limitation.
