No, as I said, I bought very early from Newegg. I actually pre-ordered my I2 and it was special red colored version just for Newegg. This was in March of last year so they weren't offering wifi/bt and the i2ex wasn't out yet. If I could make a different choice, other than to have just waited for an RPi2 (which I didn't know was coming), I would have gotten the I4pro or waited a little longer for the CuboxTV.

Fortunately I only spent $79 on my i2. I'd be VERY upset if I'd had the same experience but spent $199. I do wonder if the Vero/OSMC folks will offer refunds if purchasers aren't satisfied with their Vero and/or possibly re-spec a new Vero device based on the I4pro or CuboxTV and allow owners to exchange for them.

I'm still hoping they can squeeze more out of the Vero and do eventually correct the issues with CEC but I'm also doubtful. I work in IT so I always hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

CEC issues are worked on by wolfgar - but he has taken some time off currently. Mk01 of xbian projects also has some other fixes in the queue. Kodi wise, every distro (besides xbian, they code byself) currently run with: https://github.com/fritsch/xbmc/tree/imx-rebase-pr (IMX wise).

Now test the image please, with the firmware replaced :-)
