You said "XBMC will not install and work on it". This is not true. XBMC installs just fine, and despite being a heavy user of XBMC I haven't had it crash once in the past 15 days (the nightly build from nov 5th). Looking at the XBMC forum, there is no indication that there's a widespread problem that XBMC doesn't run great on 4.4.
Don't assume that what you experience is the norm.
Dude. Stop being ridiculous. It is buggy especially the latest nightlies of which I have tied them all.

Don't assume because you haven't had issues there are not issues. My simple point was both plex and xbmc are a Wip so the oP should be aware.
Not to mention that on 4.4 and above it's tethered.
The Combo creates complexity which it is therefore prudent to understand what he is diving into.
I didn't say it's a non existing problem, but it's not a widespread problem. And it's definitely not true in any way to claim that XBMC won't install or run.
It's like you bought a BMW, got a flat tire and tell people that you can't drive a BMW on the roads...

Was not well done but here's the promised video of review I did on plea.
It turns out that plex is not enough and I had to resort to using air play(which I am 100% satisfied). Hopefully plex will come out of it's beta and become more main stream for me.
XBmc is not an option for me since it relies on atv2's hardware to play the media.(which I do not want).

Hey, so in my case, I don't care for it since it's only my bedroom which only has tv w/ nothing else connected to it. So in my case, it works. I didn't know airplay does not work w/ surround sound and I am sure people who are looking for that solution wouldn't work for them.
Fortunately for myself, my main living room has all the stuff put together(big tv/fastest pc/surround sound system).
I honestly do not think apple tv should be your living room replacement.
