The clue is in the name - the R in ARM is for RISC.

I see, thanks for the explanation.
I guess I need to think about it...

Have someone used also a Xiaomi Bluetooth Remote Control beside original Vero 4K remote. Which one do you prefer?

The more I use this device, the more pleased I am with it's performance. I've replaced a Nexus Player with this device and it's been a great ride. Before when trying to watch HDHomeRUN WiFi streamed channels, the Nexus player would stutter or the video would play fine but I'd have no audio, not any longer with this device. I haven't had one hiccup while watching live TV.
I used to have to use the Plex plugin with Kodi and set plex to transcode any movie I wanted to watch down to 4MB because the Google Nexus player wasn't picking up a strong enough WiFi signal. No longer with this box, I've removed the Plex plugin from my Kodi menu because I can stream 4K movies without having to transcode!
I had to disable all "animated fanart and animated movie posters" on my chosen skin because trying to scroll through my movie collection would cause the Nexus player to "lock up". Not any more! This box hums along happily with every skin setting enabled!
Once Kodi 18 drops and we can finally get Netflix (and hopefully Amazon VOD?) this will be perfect.
If you're on the fence about buying one; don't be!

You can use HDHomerun via TVHeadend (can be installed via App Store); but understand if this is not ideal

Very happy with the device. Got it Saturday, had a bit of trouble with my LAN but that's my problem really as I'm running SMBv1. It's snappy, lets me run Aeon Nox SilVo, plays spotify and most 4k content that I encounter effortlessly, and my files look and sound great. Good support online too. I'll be recommending it.

If it works with Kodi it will work on the device; although I believe the performance is what is in contention here.
I believe someone else tried to use Madnox and couldn't get it to install on Vero 4K or Pi3 running OSMC.
