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.

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 =) 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.

It does but the current version of XBMC (12.2) does not support hardware acceleration so video is pretty jerky on anything above standard definition. MX Player pro supports hardware acceleration with the chipset in the UG008, XBMC 13.0 should have the hardware acceleration enabled.

You have to delete that xbmc off the apps and then go to their website xbmc.org and download the real version.

To my Knowledge No. There are talks about the new 4k players they are developing using XBMC as their front end interface.

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.

XBMC is now Kodi. Kodi 14.0 is now stable. Go to http://kodi.tv/download/ and download and install the Android ARM. (be sure to pick the correct software for the device you are using) Then install the Fusion addon. Fusion is a server based repository that can be added to your XBMC media player. When the Fusion Installer has been added it to your XBMC program it makes it a lot easier to get the latest add-ons from the repositories when they are released and have them in a single location. Video on how to install Fusion is on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5eIBVbWPK8 (the source has changed to http://fusion.tvaddons.ag) but this is the best video I've found.

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?

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.

I have 2 of these. One is loaded with Windows 7 Pro and the other is loaded with OPENELEC to run a clean XBMC. Both work great, no issues.

Definitely. Whether its with OpenELEC or XBMC under windows, this will get the job done for you

Android and XBMC is installed. You can add other software via the Google store. If you want to add to xBMC, you add through their repositories. You can google and YouTube tutorials.

No , you need to buy a box with kodi already have been installed on it or a box that is more upgrade.

I believe that it comes preloaded with a custom XBMC version and the external color is different.

Yes, however you have to install XBMC and also install Fusion and Mashup that takes some time and experience
