    Good that you posted that... No way of putting Plex or XBMC on it. But, for the person willing to pay for services, you'll love it. ☺

    It's there anyone any more that would put up with ONLY getting paid content?

    My neice got one for her boyfriend with the intention that I'd jailbreak it for her. When I found out I couldn't, I sold it on eBay for almost what she paid for it and got her an android tv box for less money (and usb ports).

    As a matter of interest, which Android did you get?

    You can AirPlay pretty much anything, even from iOS devices. So not at all limited to paid services.

    That looks like a far better buy, half thinking about picking one up...

    the one i got shipped with a weirdly specific version of XBMC (for the Ouya, probably with same chipset) that wouldn't play the audio on some divx files (some kind of licensing problem i think), but i just installed the latest standard version and its been perfect ever since and performs just as well.

    also handy to be able to plug in any usb keyboard and mouse and use it as an android PC with the TV. :)

    it also does airplay and the android equiv. (Playto etc.) So unless you were a hardcore Apple fanboy, the ATV is old news, esp. now there's no jailbreak option (and unlikely to ever be, according to some forums) on the ATV3.

    The usb and sd card slots were the real winner for me though.

    My other top pick would be one of the newer roku devices, but only really (over the minix) for the headphone jack on the remote which is a class idea imho for bed time tv watching.
