    Not sure what your looking for really you can put xbmc on any device, laptops, pcs even android and iPhone. But if it's for the TV I suggest a cheap android box or dongle then install xbmc on it yourself it's very easy to do but I wouldn't buy a box with it pre installed as the builds for it are changing all the time. I have a quad core android dongle it works ok and I use a wireless mouse and it costs about the neck end of 50 quid, remember if she has a tablet you can also put it on that and it's free hope this helps

    It all depends on what you want Xbmc to do.

    All these Android boxes are pretty much the same and as previously said the builds and the links in the repositories are changing all the time.

    Does your daughter have a satellite feed into her room.

    I have a media art ultra it is a bit pricey but supports both dvb-s2 and xbmc

    I have both a Ouya and a GBox MX2 Midnight and both these boxes are easy to use. I use XBMC Hub for all of my addons and these are all updated regularly. The Ouya is not only very good for XBMC but is also a great gaming machine.

    In most forums I participate in, there's links at the bottom of every thread to the next thread and previous thread, or next unread. If they exist in this forum, they're very well-hidden It would be nice to add those navigation links to the thread display template.
