OpenELEC is a Linux-based operating system designed to basically run one app: the Kodi media center. You can install OpenELEC on a PC to turn your computer into a multimedia device with a full-screen user interface for watching movies, streaming online video, listening to music, and performing other tasks.

Now the folks behind OpeneELEC have teamed up with hardware maker WeTek to launch the OpenELEC Box. It’s a limited-edition TV box that comes with OpenELEC pre-installed (plus it has the OpenELEC logo on the box).

Now you can order one from the OpenELEC webshop for $110.46 or €99 and and select one of three versions: WeTek OpenELEC Box with DVB-S2 tuner, WeTek OpenELEC Box with DVB-C/T/T2 tuner and WeTek OpenELEC Box with ATSC tuner.
