Dear all,
I have a popcorn hour a300 and need an upgrade.
After reading all the threads I'm suffering from information overload, so please help
My home theater set screw's up the HDMI signal, so I would prefer optical out. Otherwise i need to let the tv do the passthrough. My budget is about 200 euro's. I usually watch TV shows at available formats (1080p) and the occasional bluray (iso). I would like to use my harmony remote.
Kodi seems to be the smart move, but I'm lost at the hardware choice. European prices are also higher then the US prices.
So should I stick with the pi2 or go for a Chromebox with accessories (and specifically which ones)? Might the mede8er or himedia q5 be the better alternative?
Thanks,
Rick
