I tried to start a conversation with Sam about my concerns as a Cubox-i2 owner. My concern was if the Vero hardware was similar to my i2 then the experience thebertster has shared might happen. The getvero.tv site is light on the specifics of the imx6 hardware, but discussion in this and other forums seem to indicate it is very similar to my i2 but with the addition of 802.11 and bluetooth.

Unfortunately it seems that while Vero with OSMC was advertised as a non-technical "just works" solution, it has not gotten there yet (if it ever does, and I do hope it does). Also, unfortunately, the device was delivered much later than promised/expected and is still not 100% of what it should be. I agree it is most likely the result of naivety as Sam appears to be quite young. I've seen way to may over-promised and under-delivered IT solutions and the other Sam that posted an initial Vero review here was right... Better to under-promise and over-deliver.

My advice would be to take people like me (that have a similar device) seriously when we raise concerns about the Vero living up to its advertising instead of assuming that we're personally attacking someone. Having had a negative experience with my i2, I was genuinely concerned that the Vero was headed down the same path. Telling me and others that we have no place commenting on a device we don't have and haven't seen wasn't productive. So far the experiences that have been shared about the Vero are very similar to those shared about the similar Cubox-i products from SolidRun.

Anyone reading through the forums at http://www.solid-run.com/community/kodi-...rd-f7.html will see many similar issues of crashes right at Kodi startup, strange slowness in menu navigation sometimes, limited range on the built-in IR receiver, high temperatures during Kodi idle times...
