I have Apple TV !st generation and three friends with the same - all running Gotham 13.2 - all of us are enjoying all that it has to offer and it's right now they working fine. So from what i am reading does this mean that they will all be garbage soon ?

If they work now on Gotham and you don't mind sticking to Gotham then they will continue to work until they physically die.

A few questions regarding the Cubox -- which I am considering for general Kodi use and potentially streaming from an HDHomeRun Prime via UPNP.
Right now, I'm using a FireTV with Kodi sideloaded -- but the Fire's UI is rather horrid and I haven't (yet) taken the steps to create a sacrificial front screen app for launching Kodi.
Specifically, has anyone on here tried the Cubox (any variant) with streaming from a HDHomeRun via UPNP/DLNA? Especially with full ATSC MPEG2 video streams at 1920x1080i?
Also, is anyone on here familiar with what version of the kernel and what bootloader they are using?
I know that the mainline kernels tend to be somewhat lagging in support for some of the video functionality for the iMX6 and the the newest Freescale official fork of 3.10.53GA has been adding a lot more support for updated video interfaces to DirectFB, Wayland, etc.
I do kernel and driver work on an iMX6 daily and did the initial port of barebox over to the Variscite iMX6 SOM, so I'm also sort of interested in the Cubox and Vero's as a potential development platform/testbed for home use.

That's something that can always happen, especially in fast living technique market. No need to start a laughter. The vero / cubox still has their markets. The cubox has an esata port and gigabit ethernet, it can be a nice NAS and so on.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.
