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.

I bought this box last month, but when running XBMC LiveTV video and audio are not paired. The audio is ahead from the picture. When I Run Movies From stream channels it works awesome. I have 24 mbps internet speed, Does any one knows why it does that?

It's ARM processor running Android OS - so yes, it will run XBMC. Official install guide http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Install_XBMC_for_Android How well it will run is question - if you have issues, probably not processor. RK 3188 should handle it easy - but poor internal WiFi may make it boggy & laggy

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.

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.

No, Xbmc is already on it all you do is install the addons, the best adding I have used on this box is movie 25

Yes it will play movies from a external hdd and wifi i do not know. With XBMC you have alot of tv shows and movies. Great box to have...

It has an older version of XMBC on it, so you can launch that - you'll have to navigate the file sources from inside the menu to find the mkv file, but generally yes. There may be issues with accelerated decoding, HD video from a usb thumb drive may be choppy.I would heartily recommend you install the latest version of XBMC, it was recently renamed to Kodi http://kodi.tv/download/

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

I dont have the board anymore, but note that the board SOFTWARE support for X-Fi via the THX TrueStudio Application and Creative Alchemy. I dont use it though as I am using a Asus Xonar DX in my PC.

Has he installed any third party reps on xbmc if so he might have to install them again! Bit bits nothing he can't install again :) but here's how you do it! Unplug the the power cord on back of the box and with a tooth pick poke the reset button in where the the power cord conects to the box . Then conect the power cord to the box and turn it on again it will take you to the reset menu and just press enter it will restart like new :)

The only other thing I would HIGHLY recommend is the Keyboard, the controller falls short of controlling everything. The XBMC is not really based on channels, but on add-ons. Each add-on will provide you with certain entertainment. For example: The Mash-Up add-on has a very wide range of movies, TV show, sporting events, documentaries; Sports Devil is all about sports; Video Devil is all about adult movies; Ice Films is movies and TV and there are hundreds more, including international channels, radio, etc. that you can download from different repositories. Just Google XBMC repositories and you will find YouTube videos explaining how to do everything. I hope this helps =)
