I bought a Roku believing it had an Amazon Prime app which it does in US but not in UK due to Sky / Now TV tie up so I am after a device that has all UK catch up TV channels, Netflix, Amazon prime, xbmc and will if required act as a squeezebox. Android TV boxes look the best bet with Amazon Fire

It can probably be done - but you'll have a complete mish-mash of apps which will be a pain to navigate! The best on-demand offerings I've found are on Samsung smart devices. The only one missing is Dave Ondemand. Touch - Muse M50 EX TPA3123 T-Amp Mini - Acoustics Q10 speakers Logitech Radio

Yes. I have got a Samsung Smart TV and it's got everything except XBMC Squeezebox. Instead I get a DLNA player which presents my libraries as a folder list. XBMC presents a nice library of films with images and genres etc. and on my Samsung Tab the XBMC install allows launching of other apps

Amazon doesn't make it easy to install non-official apps on the Kindle Fire TV but ADB can be used to sideload XBMC so I figure it's possible to do the same with your favorite SB player app. If you also install the Autorun app you can set your SB player to start upon device boot. The Kindle

That does work, although it's a bit convoluted and requires double streaming over wireless. I look forward to the opening of an AppStore for AppleTV, and a native iPeng player for that device. Keep hope alive. ___ discuss mailing list

I am in UK and the Fire TV isn't released yet. Anyone in the USA got one and if so has anyone managed to add SqueezePlayer app to it? The hardware looks impressive so thinking if it is possible it could make a good SB player. QNAP TS419P 4TB LMS7.7.2 *Living Room* - SB3 - Onkyo TS606 connected
