i have an R3610 and tbh, if i had seen them standing side by side and just wanted a media player for my telly, it woud be hard to justify spending the extra on the R3610 imho.Not sure about iOS5 and a jailbreak but for anyone wants similar device that's perfect for XBMC consider the Acer Revo 3610. It's only a few quid more and it's easier to install XMBC on then the Apple TV.

Personally, I find the Icefilms' streams a little unreliable but other posters love it so perhaps it depends on your ISP (mine is a 25mb with UPC)
that said, i do actually have them sitting side by side right now and i'm running win7 on the R3610 and typing this post on my Rii wireless keyboard and trackpad and it would be hard work trying to do that on the atv2 remote, so it's very much horses for courses.
as for icefilms, i'e had some occasional buffering on less popular streams with it in xbmc on the revo and i have 100mbps UPC so i don't think its my end.
funny thing actually, i can't get icefilms installed on the atv2, the repo is there, but it's empty. i installed it from the same zip file with no issues on the revo so i've no idea what the problem is.

deleted the repo zip file off the atv2 and re-copied it with winSCP and then re-added it as an addon repo in xbmc and then it worked a treat. just downloading metadata now.funny thing actually, i can't get icefilms installed on the atv2, the repo is there, but it's empty. i installed it from the same zip file with no issues on the revo so i've no idea what the problem is.
i just got mine off ebay, it was the cheapest i could find it at the time.Deleted User wrote: »Vibe I know this is off topic but can I ask where you got your Rii please? Best vendor/cheapest price? I have an XBOX running XBMC and use a Logitech Harmony 300i but I'm wondering if the Rii would be better. I have a R3600 in storage with XBMC Live on it too.
make sure you get the v2 one tho, the earlier models weren't quite as good.0 -

Just a note, I've been spending a good bit on amazon recently so that might have worked in my favour.
Here is my correspondence:Hi,
Can I get a partial refund on the difference on the price I paid and the current price of the item (£85), The product is un-openned and I could return it and re-order, but im sure it would be easier for all involved if there was partial refund instead. It a bit frustrating to see the price be cheaper before and after I purchased it!
I would be happy with a voucher of the difference
Thanks,

i currently have a Thecus N7700 NAS, but I'm in the process of decommissioning it and replacing it with a virtual FreeNAS box running on my ESXi 5 server.
it's actually copying data over at the moment, but I think it's going to be a little while before it finishes.

sorry, geeked out there for a minute.Deleted User wrote: »It's like you're speaking another language. What in the world is a ESXi 5 server? Good God!
it's basically and operating system (like windows or linux) which instead of just programs runs other operating systems inside it, so you can have several virtual computers running say windows or linux or OSX on a single server.
freenas is an operating system designed to act as a kind of file server which you'd normally install on an old pc and stick a few disks in to share your media collection across your home network, but by running it as a virtual server, i can run several other virtual machines at the same time alongside it on just one server.0 -
