1st I want to say: thank you for your congratulations!
I also bought it because of it's fair price and I really look forward to get it to work. Don't you know other methods to make your wife happy? I am in a similar situation. My wife is the final acceptor for this new "toy".
Too late... I didn't think about the 7€ for the remote, even though I have a harmony smart control. I like the 12 button design of the odroid remote and I want check it's funtionality in combination with cec. Maybe I don't need the harmony anymore. We will see how it lies in the hand. Otherwise it's a good fallback to check functionality of the ir sensor if anything isn't working as expected with the harmony remote.
Yes, 45€ for the eMMC is hard, but the total performance of the box is the main criteria for acceptance in the living room. So I better spend some euros more.
Yes, we will see, if it really is "a hell of a piece of kit for the money".
When I got it to work I will tell you about it. At the moment I don't have a 4k tv, but it should be bought later this year. The main reason is 1080p (h.264) with hd audio passthrough and the possibility for future use.
Greetings Hoppel

Anyway - grats for finally choosing one. I hope you'll going to tell us your impression.

and you can actually use any spare IR remote that might be laying at home (but 7€ is reasonable, so what). Also you can also use a fast microSD (it is slower, but I would not spend 45€ for a eMMC...at least for me it would be too expensive).
EDIT
flew over the post somehow and did not notice, that it is already bought Sorry. Have fun with the device

Let us know how well it runs.
