It comes with it installed. I would recommend buying the s89 instead. I have had both and for a few extra dollars it's worth it. The s89 has lots of custom roms available and the video card is way better. If you have any questions go to freaktab and look through the forums for Tronsmart aml devices. There's a lot of information there.

If you are a techie and do your research you can find a version of XBMC that works pretty well. I run XBMC every day. It takes the right combo of ROM and XBMC to get it to work. Check out freaktab for everything.

You can install XBMC but i would not reccmend buying this android mini pc at all the Wifi on it is not good enough for streaming videos. The early batches of this mini pc the wifi did not work at all I regret buying mine completely the wifi never worked so i coldnt use it to stream movies from my main PC direct to my TV. The company Minix makes excellent android mini PC's that run XBMC really well especially the regular x7 i bought that one and never had a problem with it.

Just got the box and opened it up you would need an usb tuner card that is xbmc approved. xbmc shows the 32 gig ssd as a user space so i dont see why not.

Well I am using it with xbmc and I can play bluray movies no problem. You could get nvidia video card or this celeron cpu/ motherboard.

the simple answer is No! XBMC is not even pre loaded you will have to go to the website and download it. Get yourself a MX2 midnight addition by Matricom (g box).I love it!

This is an android computer, and as such candidates stream or play anything an android Phone or tablet can. You would need to check specific sites or if they have an app you can download it from google play store, your other option would be to see if they have or are in a xbmc add-on.

Yes, XBMC installs and runs fine in general. There are many different sub builds of XBMC available, however. Codec support for certain video playback is hit or miss. Some builds work exceptionally well , and some do not work as well.

yes it does it will also work in xbmc media center which is way better than the windows media center.

There are some keyboard characters that do not function properly within XBMC. So if you want to type in XBMC I would recommend looking elsewhere. Otherwise it appears to work fine.

It will play XBMC 13.1 you must go to System/settings/videoSet yourself to expert level user, them go to hardware acceleration and disable video codecs.

XBMC has a pre-built Ubuntu based distribution available. Otherwise, I would recommend any Debian derivative. Ubuntu is probably the easiest option.
