And awesome job on the wiki whom ever is doing it!
I'm probably a typical user. I'm in the US, have about 10Tb of content, much downloaded via torrents, also much ripped from dvds/blurays, probably 50:50. My ftv is connected via optical to my receiver, 2 speakers in the front, 2 in the back, 1080p 60" TV.
I'm not an audiophile/videophile, I just want things to look good/sound good. And they do.
I have an Ion PC running OpenElec, as a backup. I'm using it less and less and less.
I have to agree with Jocala. 10 TB of content in various formats on my NAS wire conected to my FTV. I watch an a beamer that has HDMI to my Onkyo receiver, that has HDMI to my FTV.
Very pleased with speed, playback, stability! Been using FTV over 2 months now. Im in The Netherlands, so just xbmc. Previously I had a Apple tv 2, and the FTV has better everything. So for a cheap box that will play most of your content, id say you could not get better at this time.
I'm basically in the same boat as these two. I've had mine shortly after release when I saw the video of xbmc working on it, and with a Prime membership it's icing on the cake. I wanted something a little stronger to replace one of my Pi's and so far it's doing a good job. I haven't had any major issues other than a little audio out of sync, but that went away after updating to 13.1. It passes the wife test! We'll see what new features Android TV brings and if Amazon does any upgrading to incorporate those.
