Old popcorn hour A-110

Robin-VL · August 17, 2016

Hey guys,

I've got an old popcorn hour A-110 media tank. And i would like to use it again.

But the software on it is outdated and it doesn't support netflix and stuff.

So I'm looking to find, maybe a new OS to install on it... Got any ideas.

I don't think is has a lot of processing power so keep that in mind.

maybe just sell it, if their is no alternative os's for it then it probely was not popular enough to receive a community that provides a alternative os for it

if you do sell it get a old laptop or small desktop and turn that into a low-powered media computer running Kodi or something

this computer would be a great place to start

also it consumes 110 watts under load, the PSU is a brand i trust and was the lowest wattage PSU i could find with a 80+ efficiency rating

I have a A-100 sitting in a closet, years back there was rumors of a new custom firmware that would add direct streaming for Netflix and Hulu but nothing ever happened. I had Netflix working on mine using PlayOn to stream it from my server but I don't think it's supported anymore and I personally find my HTPCs much easier to use.
