Multimedia, AV Neuros Technology did it again: one more of their interesting media products hits the market, and this time it uses Linux. We used the Neuros OSD this past week and here's what we think about it.

Great product, not there yet

I am lusting after a consumer device to replace my clunky, noisy old xbox with XBMC, but I haven't found one that can completely replace it yet. When I first found out about the OSD I feel in love - an open source company, encouraging people to develop for its little silent streaming box. It is a great product and one I am watching very closely, waiting for it to become what I would refer to as "stable enough to sit under my TV"... I'm not quite sure it has gone through enough UI and software revisions yet to quite replace the quite incredible XBMC

I'm in the same boat. There isn't too much on the market that can rival a properly configured XBMC setup. I have 2 xboxen for both my TV's, and both me and the GF just love them. I have tried Proper MCE 2005 boxes, MythTV, borrowed a friends 360, and they are all just missing something. The only downside is that XBMC only does 720p, but for the price, you can't complain about that too much.

hmmm ... but can you record TV / Video / DVD on a XBMC? As far as i understand you can only playback ... so the Neuros seems to do more.
