I have to say, this is hands down the BEST experience I've had yet with any player. Any. I own an OUYA. I owned a MINIX X7 with Finless latest. I own a 2820 NUC. I have an ATV 1 & ATV3. And I run XBMC on my desktops. But I have to say, there's something about the hardware they've chosen and the OS they've designed for the FTV that makes it just SMOOTH AS HELL. Even in watching Amazon Prime, Plex and Netflix videos I find the FTV to finally give me the experience I've been longing for. Even the menu's are fast and smooth with a great look. Why has it taken so long for someone to get it right? When watching my FTV I have the experience of forgetting I'm watching through a software based device. It's so smooth to me and never hangs or skips that I feel like I did when watching analog broadcast TV back in the day, only in HD! It's just flawless. I finally can relax and just enjoy the movie. Thank you Amazon! Add to that that it's FANLESS and therefore completely silent, cool to the touch, super low wattage and only $99. I think I'll be buying more. Amazon might be doing Apple fit and finish better than Apple these days. No. Actually they ARE. My Fire HDX 7" tab also rocks.

Anyway. It's also looking like Koying here has given me that same smoothness for my XBMC now as well. Thank you Koying. Do you accept donations?

Thanks all.

I got to say I love the x7. So much I can do with it. I run beyond Xbmc on it seems the smoothest. But I like having it rooted and overclocked. It's fast and I like changing my background and theme when I want. The FTV Is mighty cool but there are things I can't do on it I can on my x7. I will miss being able to retro game but I like having Netflix in HD. If it wasn't such a pain to load apps on here and was easy like on other boxes is like it more.
I 100% agree the ouya is not nor wazir ever what I thought it would be. Only good thing is I can play any game for free.

I love the voice control on the FTV and I can imagine what we could do with it in Xbmc. I think the x7 serves a purpose and the FTV does too each a different market.
