Intel Compute stick
Looks interesting, maybe putting a Sage Client, and Kodi/XBMC in one stick. That's something those Android sticks can't do. Cost more than your average Android stick though at $149 with windows 8.1 (Linux version at $89)
http://www.engadget.com/2015/01/07/intel-compute-stick/ "Intel has rather impressively crammed in a quad-core Atom CPU, 32GB of storage and 2GB of RAM, along with a USB port, WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0 support and a mini-USB connector for power (HDMI power will come later). " |

Has anyone attempted to use a compute stick as a client yet?

Initial reports from AVSForum weren't great. Anandtech did some tests:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/9167/i...stick-review/4 Looks like GPU usage is really high for 1080i content (in Kodi at least). From my experience with OpenELEC on a Chromebox, I wouldn't want to use one of these for anything that requires deinterlacing. |

I tried it and the playback of most media is fine but it chokes out at 100% CPU when playback of LiveTV (Best quality of HDPVR .ts files)...

I never use LiveTV through SageTV.
There are other Brands releasing their sticks now too. If they can work for 95% of users then you can't beat the price and footprint. Plus you get a "real"ish PC. You just need to add an IR receiver and your set. |
