Hi,

I am currently looking at getting this ChromeBox but I have a few questions that might change whether I do so.

I would be grateful for any advice.

Ultimately, I am looking for a single device that allows me to run XBMC but also the ability to watch Netflix in 5.1 and also the ability to give me access to Netflix US (with Hola, for example - I am based in the UK).

Thus far, the only option I have found is to build a Windows 8 PC, install XBMC on it and then use the Netflix App to get 5.1 surround sound.

I might have to go down this route if I really have to but I really want to avoid the whole "Windows route" just to watch my TV and films.

Am I thinking that a dual boot with Chrome OS and Openelec might be the answer?

I have never used Chrome OS before but I have read that it although it is based on Linux, Netflix will work on it.

Can anyone confirm whether Netflix does indeed work properly on Chrome's OS and, if so, whether it can offer 5.1 sound output and also the ability to change DNS settings?

Thanks
