I'm using bouth the ouya plays 5.1 when I change it to optical although it's connected via hdmi. Haven't tried changing the audio settings on spmc from hdmi to optical to get 5.1 sound will test soon. Spmc seams faster and more responsive but either on performs rather well. Like it a lot more than apple tv2 I might actualy sell my atv2 and get another fire tv

Remember the Apple TV 2 is years old now but it kicks android but spec for spec all over. If the atv3 could be JB I think Xbmc would fly on it. And if Apple announces an atv4 I would bet it would kick some butt. I mean try to run android Xbmc on any single core box it lags it's like watching paint dry. Even the ouya with 1gb ram and quad core box is not that fast.
Ouya is ok but in all honesty it's cheaply built. Come on my atv2 has dual band wifi and much better wifi throughput and speed then the ouya.

If you want to talk specific hardware please know what you're talking about. Please don't give your extremely biased "I love my mac" username opinion. Give facts.

The Iphone 4 was competitive with the Nexus One when it came out. The SAME chip that's in the Iphone 4 is also found in the Apple TV 2 (This is common practice with apple produces. The Ipad/Phone/TV will share the same chip. THis includes the mini. The only difference is the clockspeed.).

As you can see it's competitive with Android Nexus One. Today, The Apple TV2 would be a joke in hardware terms compared to what is out on the market today. No one is running around with their Iphone 4 or 4S (Which shares the same processor as the Apple TV3) and claiming it to be the fastest thing today!

If there was an AppleTV4 running the newest Apple Mobile processor (Which is a HUGE improvement and even though I hate Apple, is the best mobile processor out IMO but that's hard to prove given the different OS between Android/iOS. It is extremely competitive with BayTrail, intel's TABLET processor), then yes, it'd be something to talk about. The Apple TV 2 shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as "Good hardware" when talking about 2014 processors. It's a joke.

This is a FireTV thread, but if you want to talk Apple TV, at least get your facts straight.

The Apple TV 2 is still a great box. I have been using mine daily for years with no issues. Yea it getting older but people brag on the pivos and the gbox which are far slower then the Apple TV 2 so why you dogging on me?
