I have a gbok midnight mx2 and it streams from my media server using xbmc just fine

I use the gbox midnight mx2 it does everything I need it to and more and is rooted and had xbmc installed it of the box

What did you do for the navy and what is your job description now? I am an avionics electronics technician and am looking for something in the it/networking field when I get out in 4 years.

I wish my place was that clean, I keep it clean but not anything like that! Good job man, and the setup looks great.

I use a gboxmidnight mx2 and I find the included version of Xbmc works great the only thing it will not do smoothly is networked over the air 1080p tv, it will play back a 1080p file just fine though. You can also flash Linux to it and the forums and developers seem active in regards to this...

I use tasked and secure settings plugin to connect to my wifi when my phone is near the cell towers by my house, do you leave wifi on all the time?

A tablet/phone with a network capable of blaster is what I'm planning to do as soon as I get settled into my new place

The website worked fine for me on my android transformer tab running cromix, the android version is 4.2 flash sideloaded during Rom install and I played music via the stock browser. I do know that for dolphin browser I had to edit a settings file for it to play flash, if you search xda forums...

I'm not sure if it is officially supported but my transformer (tf700t) has a tegra 3 and it plays everything I throw at it using Xbmc. Some tablets don't work with the Frodo version of Xbmc though, if your looking at an android tablet for this reason do some homework to find out if it has issues...

I just recently had this happen on my Acer laptop and its super annoying, hopefully someone here at [H] who is smarter than I am comes along and has an answer for us.

I second Xbmc it's awesome software, you might want to think about a tv tuner card if your not going to go to advanced with your setup. I would start with the one htpc box and if you like it then look at how to do a whole house/apartment setup. There is a lot you can do if you have the time to...

They make tuners that you can plug cable cards into as well forgot to mention that http://www.silicondust.com/products/hdhomerun/prime/ it's only 3 tuners not a quad tuner though.

I have been able to get working flash in android 4.2 but that is with aa rooted device and a custom Rom, you can try xda the folks over there may be able to help.

hdhomerun makes a box that you plug an antenna into that will send your channels through the network, I don't use win media center but as long as it can read .stm files you should be fine. check hdhomeruns forums I'm sure someone has used it with win...

I use phonemypc app for android and control the computer with my phone or tablet

The flash storage does suck however the Rom I installed has a few tweaks like disabling fsync and using browser to ram scripts which really improves performance. If you don't want to root and unlock your tablet you will not be happy with the tf700.

True, I wanted a turn key solution that used little power so leaving it up 24/7 would not be a problem. I was looking at either building a file server which could cost a few hundred bucks or spend 600 on a NAS and drives, I went with synology because I figured I would save money in the long run...

I went with a synology NAS, with a gigabit network running in my home it transfers files plenty fast and blue ray streaming is not a problem at all. I can stream multiple blue ray rips through the network with no problem. I went with a synology NAS because it has low power consumption and a...

If you are comfortable rooting and unlocking you device all lag on the tf700 will go away with cromix Rom, only lag I get on it now is when the play store was updating/installing apps

Is there a good easy to understand tutorial for the SQL portion, like how you set it up and what it's capable of? I want to use it to sync all of my Xbmc installs so I am not managing repositories on multiple devices and am wondering what else I would gain with Xbmc and SQL

I use Xbmc to access my media from my nas through an android tv box, I do need to find a program that will index it for me though, there are a few I just don't remember the names but I'll find the magain as soon as I get my nas unpacked.

I am also aiming for the same goal as the op I have done some reading and a lot of that is possible however I am still working my way through the Xbmc forums to figure it out/gather research. It seems you will have to do a bit of DIY programming. I will also leave this nifty video here for the...

when I get the laptop it will be as high end as I can go and for gaming, beyond v that I don't have any preferences for one brand or the other. I've only had one nice laptop like that and it was a Toshiba which still left a bit too be desired.

Thanks for the info, I'll definitely look into these although my purchase is still a ways away

To me it really sounds like either a cpu or psu problem. I've had the same thing happen on an older machine it would randomly reboot. finally after pretty much building a new cpu minus mobo and processor I swapped a new cpu in and it ran fine. I would recommend doing the cpu/psu and I would...

I voted for the second option even though I have a tablet which does not have a removable battery (I have never seen one with an easily removable battery) I like putting extended batteries in my devices so a removable battery is a must. With my s3 I went from a day to a day and a half on the...

I'm looking to get mine after a deployment, I liked the option is the Sanger from powernotebooks, will definitely bookmark that site, hopefully they have a military discount as well.

I'm looking to get a gaming laptop in the next year, since my purchase is a little while away I'm not asking about hardware (I'm perfectly capable of picking that out myself). What I am asking is if anyone knows of a good website online that builds custom gaming laptops, they would be...

I second the HDHomeRun, I use the kind with 2 tuners that picks up oat tv and it has allowed me to watch tv on any of my devices I have at home via wifi or my wired ethernet

I use android boxes/tv sticks. they are silent low power and run xbmc fine and can do 1080p content. I havent tried a blue ray rip on them simply because I dont have any blue ray rips. they also have a web browser and play games well so I can play my snes, genisis, nes, and other emulators.

I use the android tv pc sticks, an HD HomeRun and a Synology NAS. the HomeRun can stream all of my OTA channels and will stream 1080p through cat 6 fine, the android boxes at the tv also run HD HomeRun via xbmc so with an android box or a PC with XBMC on it at each tv I have access to all of the...

Eve is not to hard on the graphics (unless you are in a mission site wth a gas cloud or inside the captians quarters). I would chose 660's because they draw less power than the 500 series have batter performance and produce less heat. If you are planning to run 3 gpu's then that might be...

I own the n66u and I have to say it is awesome, before I had a cheap wireless router and the difference is definitely noticeable, and that router supports gigabit lan which is nice if you are going to have multiple computers sending data over your home network. this router is the backbone of my...

It's true my gaming room would be better suited for that but I think this would be a really neat setup. I enjoy gaming in my gaming room but I also enjoy hanging out in the garage, this way I will only have one expensive gaming computer I need to upgrade and I can use it anywhere I set up a...

I am going to give it a try tomorow, if that app does what I need it to do I will make it work with linux or I will get a copy of windows. hopefully the latency is fine over gigabit lan :D

I will look into splashtop, my goal was to use the cheap low powered mini itx computer to connect to my main rig so I could take videos/games (mmo's or fps) to any room in the house and continue them just as if I had never left the gaming room. would splashtop be good enough for 1080p gaming...

Once I eventually get a house I would like to have my computer set up in a gaming room but also have a terminal station. The setup would allow me to have my audio and video routed to monitors and allow me control with a keyboard and mouse. I am not looking to run different virtual machines or...

I have the PC-A71F case and I like it alot, there is more than enough space inside it, it makes all of my hardware look tiny. My case does however suffer from a lack of holes for cable management which is saddening. The noise from my case is actually not very bad, I only hear it when my room is...

I use a logitech g9x and love the adjustable weights and it works great since I got a gaming mouse pad for it. It did not like my desk or any other gaming surface other than my mouse pad. from online research I did when I had it it seems some of them were shipped with sub-par lasers in them so...

Sorry I did in fact mean mSATA. I guess I have to finish my coffee before replying to threads. :o The brand I have is in my signature as well.
