The video driver is a weak point. It's strong enough to play my SD content with VLC, but not when I enable deinterlacing or postprocessing. It's not at the top of my list to solve, because it's enough for the SD digitenne recordings I have. I think the drivers will improve in the future, so I just have to be patient. The CPU / USB / SATA is impressive, It's fast enough to record 7 SD streams from 2 different DVB-T receivers, and watch an 8th stream. But this will only work if the storage directory is on a SATA drive, the internal micro SD slot is extremely slow. An apt-get install cycle takes a very long time, even with a class 10 uSD card.
Kind regards, Cedric

How does it work so far? I've looked at Allwinner stuff before but I wasn't sure if there were stable drivers for the Mali 400 GPU. I know it can do 1080p, which makes it a good cheap htpc but only if it has stable drivers. I also wondered if it has deinterlacers as well for 1080i content. I don't know if the A20 is strong enough to deinterlace with only CPU muscle.

So you are running Linux on tablet instead android ? What version of Linux ?
There are plenty of Allwinner-based mini-pc boards out there so it's easily possible his device is one of those and not a tablet.
You are correct. Its an olimex OLinuXino A20. This is the product page: https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/A20/A20-OLinuXino-MICRO-4GB/open-s...
It's a debian based image, as can be downloaded here: https://www.olimex.com/wiki/A20-OLinuXino-MICRO#Linux
Kind regards, Cedric
That's what I figured. At a very minimum I would need something that can handle 1080i with a decent deinterlacer used, 1920x1080 hdmi out, surround sound (via hdmi out). Basically something on par with Nvidia vdpau. Hardware isn't the problem though, seems the only thing lacking is the software and maybe in time that will exist/mature.
