After it's rooted would it be possible to create it an xbmc only box? (running minimal core and on top of that XBMC) Or atleast edit the main menu so you can have your own shortcut to launch xbmc as an application instead of a sideloaded app.
the reason i purchased the fire tv was for the amazon content (i'm a prime memeber)
honestly if you want just an xbmc box you should look into an OUYA and install spmc on it. They have full root, overclocked SOC, xbmc, unlocked bootloader and CM roms..
I can't use Amazone Prime since i'm in Europe / Netherlands, and I have all movies / tv series locally stored. I had an OUYA with xbmc, but I sold it. I only have the FireTV for a week or something with XBMC and I already like much more than the OUYA. I was looking to replace my Mac Mini 2009 and the FireTV was perfect. FireTV has a sleek perfect design, good remote (since i'm used to the sleek apple remote).
I'm already satisfied with however the FireTV is working, and maybe I will start using the other apps also (Netflix, but I hate that sluggish UI, and I have other netflix boxes) after a while. But for now, FireTV with autopilot on XBMC is satisfying my needs.
