I do, its a nice little box, very snappy.

Stock ROM is a bit pants tho, its alright if you want to use android but all I use is Kodi, so I flashed an openelec ROM onto it. Runs x10 better.

Only issue with it is the remote is ****e, I just use a k400 keyboard on it.

basic android openelec?32 or 64bit?

Yes it is just kodi no stupid android apps

I much prefer Windows boxes tbh for HTPC use.. Better at decoding file formats and codecs.

I have the Z64w by MINIX which I find fantastic.

Looks like an interesting way to get both Kodi and Netflix on one box with a remote.
