Well if mediaportal is not working, xbmc can't so get things sorted one at a time. Mediaportal first. Once that is working, and xbmc doesn't, go to the pvr subforum. This is unlikely a 2820 problem.

Win8(.1) has had and still have its quirks and issues, just like all other OS'es. The same goes for the Intel drivers for this NUC, and the USB hardware itself. USB issues were the main reason given by Intel, for the N2830 update.
I am just updating to windows 8.1 Update 1 to see if that fixes the issue and if not their is a post on how to install the Intel USB3 drivers for win7 x64 on 8.1 etc

Should have just stuck with Win7!
Just thought I would post the reply in case other people foolish enough to install windows 8.1, can get a solution if their USB2 tuners don't work.

I don't want to step on any feet, least of all a 5-year senior member - but those members of all, should strive to keep this form of "flavour preference "debate" " out of topics and threads not dedicated to that particular bicker. Every OS has its strong points/sides, its weak sides / quirks, varying degree of ease of use - - not to mention, all have their bugs (if not the OS itself then through the software applied), some have wider support wihin certain areas - and so on and so forth. Its a pointless argument here, and frankly; Quite a rude response to a decently formulated "question".

Average CPU load: 65-75%

Seems sometimes it can't update as well as addons. I just had to keep checking. It eventually resolves itself after a day or so.... Try first refresh on the openelec repo.
Step by step would be useful as I'm useless with this at the moment.
Don't know if upgrade will help though as my ps3 bluetooth remote keeps losing connection especially when I switch on. I've seen Xbox one remote mentioned as a good one, is it simple as put batteries in and it works? I like my ps3 one but the connection issue is doing my head in now.
Thanks in advance

Is your NUC, or your PS3 controller - paired (bluetooth) with any other device? If this is the case - could be that the NUC picks up that other device faster than the PS3 controller during boot, or the controller connects to that different device when it doesn't detect the NUC anymore.
Recently the box isn't picking up the remote, I either have to take batteries out and put back or re pair on the bluetooth page.
I'm using the bluetooth ps3 remote not the controller.
I can't seem to refresh the openelec programme either so still can't update software ?
Thanks

Tthe N2830 is/was set to directly replace the N2820 in the DN2820FYKH NUC, once Intels N2820 stock runs out. The N2830 is more of a new "revision" of the N2820, than a new CPU/SoC. Thus, by the news I've read so far - they intend to keep the (amongst other things) DN2820FYKH "model name".
