june is a nice month I think
But thinking of it:
Will XBMC run propperly on existing boxes or better to wait for new ones?
I ask this because I read that a problem is the hardware acceleration.

I bought an xbox mc2. Don't repeat my mistake. First let's talk about the poor quality. The Wi-Fi can connect sometimes at 150 but the actual data rate was at 53 initially but drops rapidly. To many errors to keep up that rate.would actually drop to 5 or less. Movies would freeze while it labored to get more. The first unit had a bad power supply and fried the unit. They sent me another unit although I had asked for money back. So I bought a Wi-Fi to ether net adapter. Although I couldn't max my ip speed it works good enough for 720p most of the time. It does not have built in Bluetooth I am using a dongle. I also bought a better power supply.
So with$200 I made it work sort of. No 1080 on the horizon.
Now software, because the software is not open sourced it is officially banned device by xbmc.
So I say don't buy an xbox midnight.

Xbox is a Microsoft trademark so I'm not surprised.
It shows how much care is needed.

Does anyone know if XBMC will work on the Huawei MediaQ M310 with the Hisilicon K3V2 Chip or what version would you suggest that I try. Any help would be appreciated. Regards

I doubt it, a quick Google search [though this can be inaccurate] says Hisilicon don't normally support libstagefright which is used by XBMC for Android for video decoding. If they do support it then there is a chance it might work but not at all guaranteed.
There was someone on these forums a good while back I think saying they were from Hisilicon asking about the Amlogic branch of XBMC which is separate from general Android XBMC but I've no clue if anything happened after that or could have been total baloney to begin with.

Thanks Starstream-I appreciate your input. I guess I will find out when it arrives and I test it out.
