Yes, they bring an influx of new members who are not all equally intelligent, but XBMC has gained popularity. I'm sure this can only have a positive effect on sponorship and the continuity of XBMC.
Don't hate on the RPI or TLBB, they are doing there best to provide the best XBMC experience for that pricepoint.
If you want to hate, hate on all the Android boxes that are promissing the miracles so many people believe. Including me, my €120 Mele A2000 is a Usenet downloader now, while my €40 RPI is my main media player.
I hate them because its not a full experience and never will be. So whats the point?
So many people I know who've bought pi's and because its not instant. Blame the software. They don't blame the hardware. They then buy a WDTV or similar because "it'll do and it was cheap"
If xbmc worked as well on the pi/TLBB/etc as it does on full blown kit. It wouldn't be free! But they know its a hobbyist niche and to get the full cream out of it. Needs a bit of money on it. Everyone who's tried the pi [myself included] all had high expectations for it. We all did. You know it! When it came to pass. We quickly moved on. But people are not reading those threads. They're posting new ones asking why doesn't it do this and doesn't do that.
But thanks everyone who posted in with different perspectives. We all want xbmc to succeed. The future is ARM but its not ready yet. Time will help but my patience for the amount of rpi threads is waning lol.

They would if no one replied with answers. Only posting the thread link to it?
Will it ever do dts-HD? I don't think so!
Well funny you say that DTS-MA should hopefully be available soon DOM (Popcornmix) has an intern working on it now.
