Nationite Android TV Stick? What do you think?

Personally I don´t see the benefit in those tiny sticks.
Since Mp4Nation focus is more on hi-fi (?),
I would expect a box with coax-out for audio and DVB-S2 integrated (all-in-one Mediaserver).
Unfortunately these boxes are still on single core and android 4.0
So, beeing the 1st with dual or quad-core (+4.2) would be a market gap.
Market is already flooded with sticks with actual hardware, isn´t it?

Why use coax when you can use HDMI? Unless your amp can't handle it, HDMI is always best.

TV/Video (HDMI/DVBS) is just a nice addition for me (and one device less).
Mainly I look for audio. Don´t want to boot my PC to access my audio files.
And my/most DAC´s need coax.

Fair enough.

My audio is all held on an XBMC server and pumped around the house digitally until it hits the A/V amp thats going to decode it in whatever room it's in, so HDMI is always best for me.

Yesterday I got one of these boxes - works pretty nice so far.
It should run xbmc, too, but not that great.
Community is already working on a decent Linux/xbmc built that compensate the weak cpu (1GHz)
.... I´m curious

It will be a hit if it has these: (In order of importance)

1. Firmware/ a stable Android rom
2. Firmware/ a stable Android rom
3. Firmware/ a stable Android rom
4. decent WIFI reception
5. Full hardware accelerated XBMC support
6. USB Audio through OTG
7. LAN (for full speed wired network)

I would say the rom is stabler than others, we can't guarantee firmware updates as these products do not have a very long development cycle. The wifi reception is pretty good in our testing.

I already bought a RC11 gyro remote. Now all I need is an Android stick. I'm looking at the MK808 but want to see some Nationite info before I buy anything else!
