Has anyone been able to turn the Steam Link into a low power HTPC yet? Just curious.

The real question is if anyone actually bought this thing.
>>52142815
Yeah dude. Just run it in big picture mode, go to the top right, select power icon, minimize bg picture. Boom, htpc
>>52142815
Why not just but a pi2? cheaper, better support, customisable, no hackng firmware required.
Or just wait for skylake computer stick like everyone else
I have.
It's pretty shit streaming capability desu.
Also not my cup of tea for games.
I use moonlight on tablet/phone.
Why would anyone even want to game on a tv? If you want comfiness, mount your monitor to the wall to be able to rotate it when sitting on the couch that's against the wall adjacent to the one your desk is against. If you really want to use a tv, get as much long ass hdmi cables and hdmi repeaters as you need, to be able to run a cable all the way from your pc to your tv. This will perform better, be easier to set up, might be cheaper and you'll need one less device to worry about.

Eh, why bother? Tons of cheap & good HTPC out there.

They obviously didn't care much for eSATA. Not like many do, though...

Yes, it's actually pretty promising. I added Kodi as a non-steam game to it and use kodi for streaming addons and also plexBMC. The upside of this is how easy it is to run games off the same device and channel using the steam controller.
Certainly not low-power though. It's hooked to my desktop PC

The steam link runs on ARM, you might as well compile an arm version of steamos and run it off of that

But can it run my 1080p 10 bit Polynesian frame drawings?
