my win 7 xbmc via wi fi runs great. To avoid the x7 instability can I just mirror via the x7 to my hdtv in 1080?

to be honest with you...you would be better off purchasing the little black box....its stable and runs really smooth....I had many issues with the x7.....it truly is not ready for the public.....please don't hesitate to ask any other questions......have a great day

Well, first the X7 instability issue is there Because Of How Minix built the X7's. Normally an Intel processer is created with a minimum and maximum run speed. This allows it to change the speed at which it runs to give sufficient processing power to the program in question. For some reason, Minix created the X7 and set it to only run at its minimum base specs. This causes it to run a bit sluggish. The instability comes from the software that runs it. It is far from perfect. There is an easy solution though. On the Minix website forum as well as other forums out there, people have created ROMS for the X7. These ROMS fix almost all of the instability issues as well as change the speeds at which the internal hardware runs at. Running an MKV 1080P file runs flawlessly on the X7 once you install the room that suits you best. A little research on it and you'll be a pro at it. They give step by step instructions on what's needed. Just take your time and you'll be fine. As far as mirroring, I know they were working on a mirroring program, though I don't know how far they have gotten. I personally only use my X7 for XBMCHUB. I own 3 of them. Hopefully this helps.

I do not know. I sent the Minix Neo X7 back. It worked fine. However, there was way too much button clicking required to access the internet and streaming was difficult for a variety of reasons. I had hoped to replace the cable box. It did not work out.

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.

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.

it will, of course, stay 1080p. the only real question is does it degrade the signal quality (which is what i was hoping to find out here). i guess i will find out once it arrives and i hook it up.

It works fine and all u need to do is to brows on youtube "how to install sources on xbmc" after u install it from their site.

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 bought a Hauppage digital WinTV-HVR-2250 card, but I am nothing happy -sound-frozen image-etc.-etc.-; I have Windows 8 64-Bit Xeon E31235 3.2 Processor 16GB Ram Graphic 128 Intel; question could AVERMEDIA H837 work better?

You can't. It only supports mirrorcast devices (Android and PCs) and it's barely working.

Yes it is. In fact I tried DTS-HDMA and True-HD bitstreaming right through MPC-HC, over HDMI and it works like a charm once set up in the player.I guess this answers yours question, and I highly recommend this board for non-overclocking work. Mine's been working 2+ months since I built the rig 24/7, and have had no issues at all.

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...

As long as your computer meets the minimum system requirement and is successfully outputting video to your tv, you should have no problem with RF7. I am using a VGA connection from a just average video card to an HD tv (with audio to a receiver), video plays smoothly

That's correct. You have to download and install XBMC in order to play your media.

Micheal Meyer is correct. Mine works fine at 1080P over VGA from the 360. Just got to get rid of the not supported message. See my reply to the post "X-Box 360 1080p doesnt work with this TV"

don't use hdmi. use mini displayport ("Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable" is like $5 on amazon) to display 2560 x 1080 perfectly.

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.

You can download xbmc in to the box after you set your wifi up. download the one for android, at xbmc.org

No, I use it through my computer and the picture looks over granulated. Other sources for 1080 and 720 hd works though =\
