Well I select shutdown from xbmc and have to press power button on nuc or hit sky remote power which works to switch xbmc/openelec on .
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

Sounds like a pairing issue to me. 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.

For a quick test - if you don't have a PS3 active close near-by, you could try to jab the PS button on the controller while the NUC is in early boot stage (I'm not quite sure at what point during boot, OE will start searching for paired BT devices).

Any news about N2830 version?. Is it available to buy?.

AFAIK, there is no "set date" for the replacement, only for the discontinuation of D2820 produciton. 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".

So from what I can gather - we'll have to wait to hear when someone confirms getting one of these with the N2830 cpu. Someone could still get a N2820 after that point - but seeing how Intel is still vastly behind on the production volume vs market requirements, there is not likely to be much "old stock" lying around. With most retailers and online sellers and distributors - these never even reach the storehouse shelves - they "pretty much" just go straight from the delivery truck to packing for customer delivery.

I know there are quite a the wide varity of import/export rules, challanges - and economic factors - but given the long-standing production-level issues with this model, and the continued strong sales numbers - Intel should just start dropshipping these straight from factory to customer. At least until their new factories are fully up and running.
