A look at the Quad Core Android Box from Probox the AVA. Unlike most Android TV boxes this one also features a HDMI input so you can record from various sources, a Remote + with Air Mouse/Microphone and built in Gyro sensor which can be used as a game pad. In addition it also has a 2.5" bay for using a HDD/SSD drive for media storage or recording.
