does XBMC work on this device?

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

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.

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.

I recommend a firmware and xbmc update. This fixed many issues I was having. You can get them on GeekBuying.com

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.

Yes it does.. It comes with Vid.On XBMC pre installed which is XBMC but specifically for the this box.. Just recently Vid.On did an update which improved video streaming and quality..

Linux and xbmc will work fine, 4k is just the picture quality of whatever you're streaming, so I believe it will work.

Yes, I've got it set up that way, and it's working fine for me. I run XBMC, so I've remapped it for that, but before that, I tested it with the built-in Windows Media suite, and that worked out of the box.

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

Wifi must be high speed. To make sure I connected with Ethernet cable...As to channel streams, there are a lot. As you will choose. Just click 'x' (for xbmc) after switch on, and make up your mind. Hope this helps.

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.

To answer this question is more depth and technically proper: The G-Box MX2 can play 1080p without scaling in any app, except XBMC will scale the videos to 720p. This is not a hardware limitation, it is completely software related. If you decide to go with a full XBMC firmware, such as installing OpenElec, there is no 720p limitation in XBMC and it will play 1080p perfectly. Any other app used in Android such as the media player that comes with the device or Netflix for example will play full 1080p.

XBMC is a media center / operation system . So this basically saying that when you buy your SD card it will have already pre- installed an media center on the SD card

most likely on their website.This could be quite tricky to setup if you are not familiar with the XBMC environment.

XBMC for android is still buggy, and the default firmware kind off sucks. I recommend J!nx linux build. It is the only firmware that doesn't forget settings, skip and play choppy video, ect. It just works. no problems here.
