They've always been able to run XBMC. Rooted or unrooted, they run XBMC wonderfully. I'm using the most graphic intensive skin available, and it just flies. 1080p streaming. Netflix, Prime Video, Pandora, Hulu+ available and launchable from within XBMC. You can root it and make it boot straight to XBMC if you want. Or launch XBMC by pressing the home button on the remote.
The most recent firmware is unrootable. But that's mostly just in the UK that have gotten the new firmware. Most US FireTVs are still rootable, and there's even a process to install pre-rooted firmware updates if you want to keep it up to date and rooted. If you root it when you get one, you can prevent it from ever updating to an unrootable firmware with one simple command.
I can tell you how to do absolutely anything with this device.

It was reported the new firmware update made it unrootable. Has that changed? do you know if the box staples is sending out still has the old firmware?
