Is the chromebox running openelec able to play live TV (interlaced SD or HD) without issue? I was looking at the Celeron NUC until I read it doesn't handle live TV well at all.

Anyone using PVR on the chromebox?

there aren't any issues that I'm aware of; the ChromeBox is capable of much higher quality deinterlacing than the N2830 NUC, but you'll have to wait until Helix/Kodi 14 for that. All of the interlaced content I've tested (480i, 576i, 1080i) has played back without issue.

Thanks Matt.

I'm sure it won't matter the source of that video, but is that live TV or video direct from HDD / NAS you've tested?

I'm surprised the chromebox is higher spec than the 2820. So a better all around choice then? HD audio passthrough, 1080p full bluray ISOs etc all work no issue via openelec?
