Running an Odroid C1, as well as a standard x86 Linux box.
With the latest builds, the C1 has been rock solid stable and very nice. I'm running Android, and it handles all the 1080p content I throw at it perfectly. Normal HDMI to the TV setup. Best, it also runs Netflix and web based streaming flawlessly too.
I'm definitely of the opinion the C1 is an ideal dirt-cheap alternative to the Pi2 if you want Netflix as well. Of course, you can run regular Linux too, but I've found Android works really well for my purposes, and is a bit more bulletproof.

Hmm, that would be an issue, I'm looking for another box to do 1080i50 live TV and Netflix, shame this has a problem at 50hz.

Where I was going with the first post, though, is that if you want a very cheap, easy box that'll essentially run like a Pi2 except with Netflix etc, the C1 is fantastic for that. Its not going to handle really high end stuff that the pi2 can't, but for many of us regular media + Netflix is the target.

There's just no real performance benefit from a Kodi perspective
