    I think it is a great little machine, I mainly use it for XBMC, have Gotham loaded on it and having tried a couple of other android devices for XBMC this one has performed the best and I find the remote control good for navigating around though I mainly use an app on the phone to control it

    I do play some games on it and have no complaints with them either, it is very good value for the price imo

    Am interested in picking up a media player for xbmc instead of hooking up the laptop all the time and this looks in my price range. Good to hear that few seem to recommend it. Is mailbox.De still the cheapest around and are they reliable for delivery to Ireland? Cheers

    I have one of these also and its a great piece of kit, the games on it are a bonus but it runs Gotham brilliantly. Only issue I hit is to keep an eye on the internal space, make sure to delete any downloads, side loaded apps you dont need etc as I ran out of space on it few weeks ago - or just stick in a usb and get some additional space on it.

    Official XBMC Remote for Apple phones is pretty good.

    I use the app to control XBMC not the Ouya itself just in case that wasn't clear

    I flip flop between the official XBMC app and Yatsee, there are pros and cons to both but I do like that the official app has a widget that you can pin to a screen which looks like a remote control which means you don't ahve to go opening an App to use XBMC

    This is on an Android phone but I am sure they are available for Apple as well

    What sort of hacks can be done to this? Is it pretty much the same as an android phone ie. installing new ROMS and stuff? Can this play android games?

    There is a cyanogenmod ROM but I'm not sure if it's any good. You can just change the launcher which is enough because the Ouya launcher is sh1t. You can hack it to add the play store.

    It's great for running emulators for running retro games.

    I had it launch straight into XBMC because that was all I used it for.

    Consider the Fire TV and Fire TV stick. They have lots of advantages over the Ouya like having a great little IR remote, better low power and stand by. They run XBMC really well. Only draw back is most units now aren't rootable and so can't use USB storage

    Both, they pulled their live streams from AerTV and their Player streams from the various different RTE/TV3 websites.

    right, i've only started using xbmc there, still trying to find whats worthwhile etc.

    i had the mx one on last night, just a minute though, and rte1 was working @720p. probably wouldn't be something i use too often when living in ireland (unless i set up the pvr) but it'd be good if abroad.
    I uninstalled the whole thing after though & started fresh on kodi & haven't added it back yet
