ZBOX HD ID33 with bluray

ZBOX HD ID33 with bluray

http://www.zotacusa.com/zbox-hd-id33-blu-ray.html

Twice the price of previous Zbox unit I have, but this came with 250Gb HDD, 2Gb RAM and a bluray/DVD drive.  (Not having a drive on the Zbox is problematic when trying to install Ubuntu).

Successfully installed Ubuntu 12.04, MythTV and XBMC on this unit.
HDMI sound worked out of the box with MythTV.
Not been as lucky with XBMC... so far had to resort to using the stereo analogue connection.

I've not spent much time tweaking the video, Next Gen ION seems to be configured well enough to only suffer minor tearing and jitters.  I have yet to tweak the X11 config to turn off Composite to see if the tearing disappears... as with the other system, this is the typical solution.
