I've been "playing" with the new A3 (Alien3), and I'm pretty much pleased with what it can do. XBMC runs amazingly fast, even after installing a bunch of add-ons. You can get a lot of IPTV addon using it. It does not run CCcam, the alternative is OSCAM, which is quite OK for me, still needs a few minor bugs fixes, but I'm sure in the next releases all will be ok. It's an hybrid Andoid/Spark 2 box, pretty easy to use, and quite different from any STB on the market, the interface is more like a SMART TV/android-like, but well designed. It's new on the market, but it's what I need right now. XBMC is really taking off, so I consider the A3 a "little" HTPC at a reasonable price.
