    Yes but is it full true 1080p? Or is it 720p scaled up once again?

        also,
        in your description,
        you mention spaceship,
        it kinda looks like that,
        but really,
        i would say tron disk is what they were going for,
        lit blue and all,and the name itself is a big hint,
        still didnt order one,need to sell some other toys to do it.
        anyone want a bunch of arcade games?
        i need the space

          Geekbuying sent me a unit for review and I have posted my review at
          Review: Tronsmart Prometheus Amlogic M6 Dual Core Android TV Box

          Besides the weird shape and the weird name, the Prometheus does have a few other tricks up its sleeves like for instance, it does have support for surround sound pass thru via HDMI and it has wired Ethernet, 2 things that are important for the HTPC crowd.

            The shape of the unit is somewhat the same as the spaceship in the end of the movie Prometheus (Alien movies Prequel). There of the name of the unit i think, Tronsmart Prometheus..

              This thing is Butt-Ugly, but I think I'll buy one...

              Either this or the TV stick variant:
              http://www.geekbuying.com/item/MX6-T...ck-313764.html which is half the price!

              However, if you factor in the price for a powered usb hub, and ethernet port, this may not be too shabby price-wise. I just wish it were released by Pivos or had some sort of ROM support.

                Yeah, if you count in everything that comes with the promethius its a raelly nice price right now. What i understand the price has been higher in the past.

                  Can someone confirm that its really 1080p and if HDMI passthrough for AC3/DTS is really working these things ?

                    On 20130125 firmware only 720p upscaled to 1080p
                    HDMI passthrough not tested

                      I can confirm it does 1080p in XBMC. Also they have solved AC3 and DTS issues in the latest firmware. I have recently found working firmware there
