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

Hi Quentin! This receiver will pass and upscale 4k/60p video via HDMI. Since this receiver won't be the device that is decoding the signal from Netflix (more likely a BD player, Roku, or Smart TV), it will not need to be compatible with this format.

I havent tried it with an on line streaming service such as hulu - however i saw a significant improvement in performance in streaming hd movies from my NAS.

I use it for streaming at 1080P. I only use it for that nothing else loaded on the system.

Their HD model streams at a max of 720p, while their more expensive models go up to 1080*. That asterix denotes that the detail is pursuant to what carriers offer. Example; Netflix only streams in 720p.Give a look at what the options are. If you want other components like a usb pnp, than upgrade, however the base model will support your tv. No need to get one that supports 1080 when you have 720p. Save your money and buy me a beer for good advice.

No!, please do not buy this mini pc for media streaming, or watch movies here is why: 1. The video card is an old intel model, and they doesn't provide drivers for hardware aceleration, so videos won't play smooth, neither in windows or linux enviroments. 2. This box lacks of hdmi, dvi ports for pure digital high resolution screens. You should look for a zotac mini pc, these boxes have better hardware and suppprt for what you're looking for.

It should come with all the basic A/V connections that you would need. Though, I haven't used it in awhile, so I can't be too sure. Though, I would compare it to the avermedia devices, if I were you, since this is just a straight-up streaming device.

Yes it does run latest codecs and container formats but I have seen my (completely stock) freeze and had to be power cycled after and oddly encoded avi which I never found out what The actual video format was. Anyways I use it daily to play videos from all over and it runs great. Works exceptionally well with a plex server and Vimu or just the plex app. Vimu is better for local content in my opinion while plex app is great for ice films and 1 channel like xbmc which I don't believe runs on this box yet.

I did and it works great. If you want high Definition (HD) pctures you need HD cable and a HD subscription.

I gave mine away because it was too slow. In any case after connecting the HDMI cable to your tv it should load the application screen. You may need to return the item if you can't make it work. I agree with downloading XBMC though. did not try it without it.

Can't answer that. It does stream youtube Hulu type vids well (what I got it for), but my guess it would not do well for gaming.

Yes it will, I use it to stream my Video library on Plex with the Amazon Stick and works just fine..

I haven't tried it for any type of gaming, just streaming HD video and it does great. Sorry I couldn't help.

I don't know. I didn't use it long enough. Try the digiStream X3 Smart ANDROID 4.2.2 TV XBMC I know it gets all the great stuff you need!

Yes, but it's only for limited local file access such as a memory stick with photos on in. Unlike the HDMI, Ethernet, and RCA w/ mini plug connection ports it will not stream out via this port.

It's possible using XBMC and various plug-ins but I recommend you see several Youtube videos on the subject to get an idea of what's involved first. One thing I will say is that any TV or Sports programs will have to be streamed as there is no TV tuner in this unit. Also to get the best possible stable HD quality streaming for TV shows you may prefer to subscribe to Hulu plus. I myself still use Dish Network for live TV and sports and only use XBMC for movies, music, and other apps like Youtube etc.
