    Hi all,

    Just wondering if anyone is using one of these for a HTPC and are they any good? What kind of prices are they? Do they offer silent operation/low power usage/xbmc stutter free 1080p video playback?

    Cheers:D

    I run openelec on my mine. It's silent and plays 1080p . The only thing it doesn't do is HD audio.

    I have one also and I'm very happy with it. The only two small annoyances I've had with it so far are: firstly it can't play video that isn't supported for acceleration by the GPU as it simply doesn't have the power for this. This isn't really a big issue though because you really have to go out of your way to find non h264 HiP for 1080p video, and the only alternative would be to build a system with a very beefy CPU that could handle 1080p in other codecs for the rare instances that aren't covered by the GPU. Massively overkill in my opinion.
    The other annoyance is that it doesn't support CEC (unfortunately almost no GPU does), I really like integration so its a feature I miss, but I'm using an adapter to get around that.

    All in all I'm very happy with it, and if I were spending my money again, I wouldn't hesitate.

    ditto, very happy with mine.

    runs openELEC flawlessly and since i upgraded to 3gb of RAM i even get decent results playing back 720p video in windows 7. hard to ask for more really, considering the price.

    although, unless you really need 1080p, you'd probably get better value out of an apple tv 2 with xbmc if you don't have a need for windows and just want a media player.

    The Revo badge is used for a whole bunch of nettops with different hardware.

    There's even one that's a basic media player like the WDTV (ie not a PC).

    So you need to be more specific about what model you are talking about. There was even new models just unveiled at CES.

    Sorry to be newbie sounding... but whats cec and why would it be an annoyance if not supported on the revo.

    (hoping to get a revo model also in near future as my sitting room HTPC to replace my old dell - as the revo seems to be near silent).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,370 ✭✭✭Knasher


    Its a hdmi thing that allows you to control other devices from your tv using its remote, instead of having to set up another. Unfortunately almost nothing supports it.

    And yes it is virtually silent, I've never even heard the fan spin up durin normal operation.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,016 ✭✭✭✭vibe666


    if you're looking for a revo as a htpc, you'll want to get either an R3610 or an R3700.

    if you're planning on a straight install of XBMC or openELEC, 2gb of RAM will be plenty, although if you're thinking of putting windows on and running various media players through the OS, then you'll want a minimum of 3gb, or 4gb if you can to get the most out of it as windows can be pretty resource intensive.

    also bear in mind that due to a hardware issue on the R3610's, you'll only ever see 3.25gb of 4gb, even with a 64bit OS. you'll also need to assign 512mb of what's left to the gfx card as well, so it would be prudent to get the R3700 if you plan on using 4gb of RAM and have the choice of what to get, although i reckon the R3610's are probably a bit thin on the ground these days.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,359 ✭✭✭Access


    thanks for the info... just spotted my samsung tv has that... antnet+ CEC.

    I knew i saw it somewhere before! :D

    Also, thanks for the info on the Revo. will look into R3700 (as will be using win 7) and thats handy to know about the memory limit on the R3610.

    Spotted online too that it can be mounted on vesa points on back of tv (this is simply brilliant in my opinion)... do you need extra bracket or something or is it a case of just bolting on?

    Revo seems to be top of pile when it comes to a non selfbuild out-of-the-box option for a htpc according to users on here and other sites...

    Dont know about the OP, but i for one will be looking forward to getting a revo soon... as am sick of the old dell optiplex GX620 desktop under tv in sittingroom revving up like a tractor each time i am watching a movie!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,706 ✭✭✭Voodu Child


    Bear in mind that the Revo 3610 uses the Atom/Ion1 combo, and the R3700 uses 2nd gen Atom/Ion2. Both do the job but are a couple of years old.

    There's now a 3rd generation just lauched, the Atom D2700+GT520M. GT520M is not called Ion technically but it is the spiritual successor anyway. It will be the standard 'low power' HTPC platform in the same way as the Ion1/Ion2 were previously.

    That's what i'd be looking for in a low-power HTPC. It'll be a little faster, use a little bit less power. There's already a couple of nettops announced from Zotac and Xtreamer, should be more from Acer, Foxconn etc. Plus of course ITX boards.

    yes and no.

    afaik it's either vesa 50 or vesa 75 which will bolt directly to a standard lcd computer monitor, but tv's would normally use larger vesa mounting points depending on the size, altho you can get adapters, i never bothered and just invested a couple of quid in some velcro tape which does the job just as well, if not better as you can mount the revo to suit your needs.

    There is a newer model now called the Acer Revo RL70 , looks like the next gen, has AMD E450 1.65GHz and AMD Radeon HD 6320 for graphics, has anyone got one of these and if so, any opinions on them?

    I've also been looking at the Zotac ZBOX AD04 which has almost the exact same specs as the REVO:confused:

    Who makes better HTPC's, Acer or Zotac?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 333 ✭✭Zilog


    See Harvey Norman have a Revo RL100 on 'offer' at the moment for €429, includes Windows 7 x64 and blu-ray drive I believe. Saw one in store, has nice slide-out remote keyboard/touchpad thing. Really slim, you'd never guess it was a blu-ray PC. If it was €100 cheaper I'd be sorely tempted ...

    The RL70 is a class piece of kit but goodluck to getting it delivered to Ireland, at least the one I'm looking at:

    http://www.ebuyer.com/319565-acer-revo-rl70-nettop-pc-pt-sj4e2-002

    It has windows, 4gb ram, 640gb hdd, wireless mouse & keyboard. The processor is the best out there too. Was going to build my own with the same specs but this is just cheaper. Unfortunately this company doesn't deliver to Ireland only mainland uk. This would make an excellent HTPC.

    That gets you started if you don't need storage and have network storage, you can boot from USB key


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 114 ✭✭armitage_skanks


    You need something to control it, maybe a USB IR remote. Or you can use an iPhone/Android app.

    And you'd want a USB keyboard handy in case you need to fiddle with the BIOS the odd time. But most people have one lying around anyway.

    pretty much just a remote to control it with (or you could use an app on your smartphone) and a hdmi cable and you're sorted. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,216 ✭✭✭Kur4mA


    I use my Revo R3700 as an HTPC. Since upgrading to the latest XBMC 'Eden' it is smoother than ever. It will play 1080p but I don't bother really. Pretty much all of my downloads are 720p and they play flawlessly. I use a Rii as my remote control.

    I just posted this in the setup thread but might be beneficial here to show what this machine can do:

    Acer Aspire Revo R3700 with 300GB HD
    External 2TB HD
    XBMC Eden
    sabnzbd+
    sickbeard
    couchpotato

    The Revo runs XBMC Eden, sabnzbd+ and sickbeard for automation purposes, so the box literally does all of the work for me. I also have the sickbeard and sabnzbd plugins running inside XBMC so I can monitor queues and add new shows as needed then get notification popups inside XBMC also.


    Here's a few pics of my XBMC setup. :)

    yep, not nearly enough choice. when they can give us the same selection as the US (officially, rather than using workarounds to get to the US site) it will be worth it.

    Yep, I agree completely. I think in the past month I had used it around 3 times so it was time to get rid of it for now.

    If you don't want windows 7 the Revo RL70 is only £178 + €22 deliverme.ie charge. The Lenovo IdeaCentre Q180 might be worth a look too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,216 ✭✭✭Kur4mA


    If you're going for either one of those you should try to upgrade to 4GB of RAM as soon as you can. I noticed a significant increase in performance on my Revo after doing this.

    same here on my r3610, particularly in windows.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,513 ✭✭✭digitaldr


    My 3610 is running xbmc live and xp so I'm guessing 2 gigs of ram is ok for me. I figured xbmc on windows 7 would just annoy the missus too much. I know there's ways to get it to boot straight into xbmc but I don't think any of these work 100% - lots of stuff could cause xbmc to loose focus. I might give XbmcBuntu a whirl but will need to change my cheapo Hama remote - it doesn't seem to be supported. Don't particularly like using iPhone as remote.

    I've had a few niggly little issues since I wiped my HTPC and installed XBMCbuntu. I had trouble getting the sound over HDMI working, had an issue where XBMC was continuously maxing one cpu to 100% and I've had problems with my Windows shares not connecting. I've them all sorted now, but my advise is to skip XBMCbuntu and install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS as it'll have better support and XBMC Eden is going to be in the main repositories.
    http://iloveubuntu.net/xbmc-land-ubuntu-1204-available-ubuntu-software-center

    Also, don't use XBMC to find Windows shares, mount your Windows shares locally in Ubuntu and then use that local mount point in XBMC. It's much faster and less problematic.

    That's great news! It's about bloody time tbh. I had repeated problems running XBMCbuntu with sound over HDMI too. After much tinkering it would work perfectly and then stop again so I went back to running XBMC on Windows 7 instead. I don't have time to tinker with linux every bloody time I want to watch a movie tbh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,016 ✭✭✭✭vibe666


    have you tried openELEC?

    there's a beta version of xbmc eden now, although i haven't tried it yet.

    granted, not all the plugins are working, but it's lean and fast and the xbmc side of it seems to work fine from the testing i did.

    if i didn't want the convenience of windows on my revo, i'd choose it as my main htpc OS.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,874 ✭✭✭✭PogMoThoin


    Yeah, I've tried OpenElec and I had sound problems too. It's a fine option for someone who just wants XBMC. I've been using linux for a few years now and much prefer to have a full OS on my HTPC that I can ssh into.

    Glad to hear it's not just me having issues with sound over HDMI. So you reckon installing Ubuntu 12.04 LTS will solve this problem?

    No idea, it'll certainly be easier to find a solution to problems. The new Long Term Support is also upped from 3 to 5 years this time so it'll most likely be a keeper for the life of the box. XBMC being in the repo's means it will autoupdate with all the other package updates.

    Anyone using xbmc from the ubuntu repo should probably be aware of the differences between the repo and standard build...
    decss support (encrypted dvd playback) is disabled unless libdvdcss2 has been installed from a third-party repo.

    libav is used rather than ffmpeg, as Debian unstable has gone this direction.

    AFP (Apple File Protocol) support is currently disabled due to packaging issues.

    rar support is disabled due to Debian policy, which we hope to resolve soon by switching to libarchive, which Andres is personally working on as well. The guy is a unstoppable!

    http://xbmc.org/theuni/2012/04/10/xbmc-accepted-into-debian/

    For sound problems, the 4th post in this thread worked for me, but that could be because the card I'm using is almost identical to the posters and my needs are minimal..

    I have an acer revo 3600 with 1gb ram and a 2TB external hard drive.what would be my best option for setting this up as a HTPC bearing in mind i would not be overly technical......I am currently using an old laptop to download series that i want and using that as a server for the revo with XBMC but i would like to have couch potato etc on the revo if that would be possible?I believe XBMCUBUNTU would be an option but i really dont know where to start.any help appreciated.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 114 ✭✭armitage_skanks


    Try OpenElec.

    It is pure XBMC appliance (you can't quit out to a desktop etc) but there is a couple of good add-ons including SABnzbd (nzb downloader), transmission (torrent client) couch potato & sickbeard.

    XBMCBuntu is more flexible (you can quit out to an Ubuntu enviroment and run any app you want), but also naturally more complicated.

    I prefer OpenElec because all im doing with my HTPC is watching and downloading stuff. I don't even have a keyboard connected up to it, just an IR remote.

    1GB of ram is plenty for OpenElec. Revo 3600 is shared ram afaik so you have to allocate some to GPU... 256-512MB is recommended for GPU. The free ram might not be enough for XBMCBuntu, i don't know how much it uses personally. But OpenElec only uses about 100MB at bootup.

    You've got a card reader on your Asus so maybe it's possible to just install OpenElec on a SDHC card and set the boot order of that above your existing Win7 HDD. Then pop the SD card out when you want to boot Windows.

    Im no good with linux stuff so maybe it's not that simple.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,016 ✭✭✭✭vibe666


    my revo r3610 has an sd card slot, so i have openelec installed onto that and windows and xbmcbuntu on the hdd.

    whenever i want to do something with openelec i just click in the sd card and reboot and any time i want to get into windows or xbmcbuntu i click it out again and reboot, nice and simple. :)

    not sure about the latest version of openelec, but the one i have only offered a destructive install on whatever disk you install it on, so it would have wiped out windows/linux, which i didn't want. you can also install it onto a usb stick (assuming your pc can boot from usb) if you don't have an sd slot.

    Hi deuces,
    I think if you are not that technical, Windows is your best option. I have a 3600 too (but linux) and it plays everything out of the box. I have very few addons though. If you are not using your Revo now, there is nothing to lose.

    Nope, I contacted ebuyer and they said that they weren't aware of any way to accept Irish credit cards.

    Deliverme.ie assured me that they pick up orders from ebuyer all the time so I'm not sure how this is done.

    I tried ordering through Paypal and the order was cancelled as the delivery address (deliverme.ie address in Newry) was not confirmed.

    I'll try the 3v option now
