I'd like to find out the speed performance and if anyone has experienced any freezes, jitters or crashes? Ideally from those who run a skin that is not Confluence.
Hi, how long is a piece of string??
From my perspective, is it "good". A solid B-, maybe even a B rating.
For me, i've come from a proper HTPC using a SandyBridge Pentium 2.6Ghz desktop CPU, to the on-board android, and there is no question that the native android application running on the Sony TV hardware is a step down in comparison.
I use Arctic Zephyr skin, which i love aesthetically and functionally, and is quite responsive - scrolling through hundreds of DVD-type covers has a little delay (fractions of a second, but noticeable in comparison to HTPC).
That said, it works well, probably no more crashes than OpenElec ever did, and Audio_Visual files play back as well as ever.
All in all, it was worth losing my HTPC for (i considered keeping it), due to power, heat and noise reduction.
But i think that probably 2016 or 2017 Sony Android TVs will be better.
