Hello,
I have been looking for a good ready out of the box HTPC solution for my living room for a while now, and it seems to me that the NUC is my best bet. (I am using a ATV2 now, which I would like to move to the bedroom, since its okay, but has a slow processor). My plan is to buy the i3 version with 2gb of RAM and a USB stick that runs OpenElec, since all I want to do with it is put XBMC on it and watch movies, series and listen to music, mostly stored on my NAS.
I've been reading on a lot of forums but still not entirely sure about 2 things:
- If I use one HDMI cable from the NUC straight to my tv and one straight to my receiver, will I have any problems with my sound (on my receiver)? (I want the black version with 2 HDMI's)
- Is there a remote control solution that can switch the device off or in a sleep mode, and on again? (If it is a sleep mode, can anyone tell me how much power it will use? My ATV2 is always on as well...)
From what I read the artifacts in video playback in OE are completely solved now, correct??
Thanks!
