XBMC box

[Gordc]

So I have been playing with the Mag 254 and have tried a few trials and love the picture. I also would like to try XBMC so my question is, is it worth going out and buying another box to get XMBC or should
I not waste my time?

If so what XBMC stb would be best to buy?

Thanks!

Tis box does not do xbmc. I would recommend 2 types of boxes 1 is the dreamlink with great support and then there is the minix

4k/2k is known as UHD or ultra high definition...

Next upgrade to HDTV is UHD and believe me, it has an amazing picture quality.

I agree with Folcan, it's amazing...

Well considering I just bought a 55" 3Dtv last year I will be keeping this one till it dies so I guess I won't be running 4K anytime soon!

So is it worth getting a XMBC box?

XBMC and the MAG are 2 different boxes that are used for separate things. The MAG is for what rocket is about to launch which is IPTV and The Android box is what you would need to use xbmc which is pretty much what the android box is used for. You cant use both methods on one box so if you want to do xbmc and IPTV then you will need 2 separate boxes but Infomir is coming out with a box that will do both but are having some issues with it running so that will be a while before they release it. Im sure there will be a manufacture out there that are looking to make both work in one box and be released soon.

I'm waiting for a box that will do both XBMC and the IPTV that hopefully will be released soon by Rocket. To answer the OP'S question, its going to be a matter of personal preference. XBMC will probably be better for video on demand, such as movies, recorded sports events, and tv shows, while IPTV will be more like your FTA box, and show live channels in better resolution than the streams on XBMC. I really don't want have to use a switch for a lot of HDMI devices, so that's why I'll wait for a decent combo box.
