    There are some funky ways to get justin.tv working but they are all kinda hack-ish IMO. I bought a boxee box a while ago and that works great for justin.tv as well as watching MLG for starcraft.

    The PVR stuff didn't make it into Eden (11.0). It's on the roadmap for 12.0 according to the roadmap:

    So now we have at least two small xbmc distros, this and geexbox...

    Disable vsync for the UI. CPU usage drops like a hammer.

    I use xbmc for 3 years and on linux it's IMHO the best (featured/beautiful) media center solution.
    And i'm really pleased to see the official release of the Openelec distribution which, in my case, work out of the box.

    Thanks to all the developpers (XBMC and Openelec).

    The nvidia (doesn't have to be ION obviously though)/AMD thing is no different than any project/software/etc though.... This is linux remember!
    Saying that, I've got a zotac ad10 (amd fusion e350 based mini pc) running an openelec eden build and it works brilliantly - I've only had (macroblocks) trouble with one file.





    It takes longer to type a question like this than it does to try it for yourself!
    But... Unfortunately, there's no web browser included with openelec, xbmc or xbmc live.
    Actually it's not, because I don't have a spare system to test it on. And without a webbrowser that knows flash to watch live streams it's not a full featured HTPC for me.

    What I gathered is that NVidia ION systems are the preferred choice for XBMC. Still too many people having problems with AMD proprietary drivers...

    Ok, interesting....

    1) Does it actually do stuff, or is it crippled to only play videos?
    2) Does it support BCM970015? Or is it limited to 970012?
