Hi guys hope you can help.

Been searching on internet and theres so many differing opinions.

Im after the cheapest device that can run xbmc but it has to be extremely quite, size doesnt really matter that much but i dont want a massive ugly thing.
Low power consumption. have remote control.
HDD space not an issue as i can probably get a cheap nas drive.
Im gonna be using it to play anything from avi to 1080 hd movies.
also music and pictures.
Any advice?

I'm currently messing around with a raspberry Pi and using a wireless mini k/b with it but also there are remotes available on IOS/Android.

the sumvision cyclone nano flashed with the pivos xios ds ics firmware is a good shout as you can run there xbmc apk with hardware acceleration working

umm was pondering a xbmc capable box soon myself.

the thing thats putting me off to date with the andriod version is yes xbmc will go on it but is there the repo's to go with xbmc on android?

no good having xbmc without the likes of navi-x etc....

anyone know?

Personally I used an old dell optiplex pc with a low profile GeForce 8400gs and it's quiet and handles 1080p mkv's happily

I use my laptop with a long hdmi lead at the minute as i have hdmi out on my lappy, i have an old tower sat in a cupboard i could use but id prefer a small unit with a remote.

Reason why the pi or Android device is out of the question for me is because you can't use sky go on them. I would need to use sky go.

That leaves a small factor pc as your option then id say.

Perhaps the Acer Revo?

Yes navi-x works on android version I thought there was a sky go app for android ?
