So I've had a few hours with this machine now and I love it.
- The remote issues were fixed with the startup script
- I had a problem where the machine just turned off and wouldn't start again. Reseating the ram in the 2nd slot fixed the problem.
- It works great with my DVB-S2 USB stick
- HDMI colours are fine on the latest OpenELEC stable build
- I managed to migrate all my openelec settings from my old htpc by simply using the backup/restore feature in the program add-on
- I don't need my MCE ir Receiver now
- Power usage is fantastic. Its about 20% of my old i7 usage
- Needed to re-adjust the screen zoom levels slightly in xbmc system settings
- I fixed the shutdown/startup with ir problem by removing the <power></power> from the keymap file (I use a harmony smart control remote)
- It turns on perfectly with the MCE remote or Harmony now
I have the VESA mount and I'd like to put it on the back of the tv but does anyone know how to extend the IR reciever with a wire or something?
Next job is to try and work out how to get dual HDMI to my tv and projector!! any ideas?
