Ref: Odroid-C1+
I am new to this forum and Kodi, for that matter. I am looking forward to assembling my first box. For the last 3 years, I have been using Logitech Revue systems for my entertainment. These were certainly controversial boxes, but have served me well.
I am sure I will not be a power user. I think my needs are fairly simple and I list below:
1) Stream movies/music from my Synology UPNP server
2) Watch Internet TV, which will hopefully lead to cutting the Cable bill
3) Browse the Internet. (like I am doing now from my Revue)
4) Emulator games
5) Netflix and Amazon video streaming (until I can wean the family off)
6) Not a must, but some sort of free Applications suite (like Google Docs, Google Sheets, etc.) in case my kids need a spare computer.
From what I have read, the Odroid-C1+ sounds like a good option for me. My question is, what OS(s) should I install. Given my needs, can I get away with just OpenElec? or should I install Android and the Kodi application? Dual boot or tri-boot is an option, but I am trying to keep the install as simple as possible.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
