OMG! Home theater folks rejoice. 23.976 fps for movies too...so glad Nvidia listened to their customers. I've been very happy with this device. Hopefully they'll also bring back controller touch-pad capability so we don't need to use a mouse with side loaded apps.

Will this be back ported to AndroidTV and onto my nexus player?

It's open, right?
