So... I installed Mint earlier, and strangely, my changing channel problem appears to not be an issue any more :O
No idea how it's now working, but I'm not going to complain. I have had audio drop out once when I turned the TV off but I can't get it to happen again. Black levels seem to be mostly OK.
All I did was install Mint, then add the official XBMC repo and 'apt-get install xbmc' and it all worked.

For those people who are encountering a problem with the NUC restarting after a shut-down I have noticed the following.
At first I did not encounter this problem at all (no bios changes) but as soon as I activated samba (by renaming the .conf.sample file to .conf and starting samba) I was no longer able to shutdown the NUC. It would continuously restart. As activating samba was the only change I had made at the time, I looked in this direction for a solution.
Manually killing the smbd job via a ssh session ("ps -ef | grep smbd" to find) solved the problem for me. As soon as the job was no longer active I was able to shutdown the NUC without a reboot.
@experts, is there any samba parameter that may prevent the NUC from su=hutting down/restarting or is there a script I can us to automatically shut down the samba session when shutting down the NUC?
Does the above make sense?

Have you guys who are using the new OpenELEC fixes for RefreshRate (24 Hz) noticed that the audiosync is off?
In windows, it's slightly off.

What new OpenELEC fixes? I don't see anything in the git log, and no relevant patches in their xbmc patch directory.

Hi,
I switched from Windows7 (Frodo 2.3) to OpenELEC (nightly build) and have now one problem at this moment, i.e. after installing OpenELEC on my Intel MSata I can't link any content to my movie folder. OpenELEC doesn't seem to remember the setting. So everything works (like playing movies etc), but I can't set any content to my folders.
I've tried to run OpenELEC (3.2.4) from USB-stick and then it works. So it has to do something with installing it on my msata :-(
Anybody who has experienced a similar problem?
EDIT:
Well it seemed my 'advancedsettings.xml' (referring to my sql-library) was blocking the assigment of content to my movie folder.
Since I'm not able to connect to my SQL-DB any more (reason ??) I'll store my movie information on my local drive :-(.
Intel NUC BOXD34010WYK2 / Intel mSata 525 30GB / Kingston 8 GB / Intel 7260hmw

Thinking of trying some OTA HD content since the picture quality of my new Dish Hopper is so awful. Is there a preferred usb/coax HDTV tuner that's understood to work on this NUC without issue? Preferred TV software?
