At long my XBMC-Live HTPC system is up and running.
My server handles the HD content without batting an eyelid.
And the playback via HDMI at 1080p is amazing.
I am having a couple of issues.
1. My Netgear router seems to have difficulty with DHCP as every couple of day's so I need to issue a command from the National Grid interface, so I guess I am going have to set up static IP's for the bulk of my network.
2. If my HTPC has been idling for a while when I click the mouse (temporary) I am greeted with a black screen, not sure what the problem is it may be something to do with CPU cooling, when time allows I am going try in on an Intel board.

XBMC-Live update
Re: XBMC-Live update
I have now rebuilt my XBMC-Live box with an Intel CPU and all is good now.
When I get around to it I will post some pictures.
And I can use my Android phone as a remote control-cool eh?

So are you connecting to an http address to control via your android or do you have an app for it?

Re: XBMC-Live update
It's not much to look at, it's in an scruffy old beige RM case that I had kicking around, it should look OK when I spray it black.
Yup there's an app for that and also for iPhone/iPad and iPod touch but the Apple app's are paid for-the Android version is free.
