Don't know if anybody else has done this but have set up raspberry pi with xbmc on it which gives you literally every channel and movie. Costs about £50-60 to set up. Brilliant value.

Sounds interesting, but all a bit double Dutch to me. Any chance you could explain it for me in non technical terms?  Cheers! |

There's an app for it. ALSO if you're outside the UK you might want to subscribe to unblock-us.com. It's just $5/month and you can watch BBC, HTV C4 and C5 on your computer/devices. UTG! |

You did indeed KP. I remember you telling everyone about this on the OF. What is so special about the Raspberry Pi though? It's a stripped down basic bit of kit as I understand it. Can this be xbmc software be installed and run on a PC or do Microsoft stop it happening on their devices, as they tend to? |

Yes it can put the raspberry pi is a small and cheap option to hook up to a tv. I wouldnt want my pc hooked up to the tv personally. |

I've looked at the Raspberry PI on the web. Do you need to purchase any of the other cables, keyboard etc, in order to use it? I have the usual stuff, HDMI leads etc. Cheers. |

I'm pretty good with computers and stuff, but I think I'll need some help with this. From my understanding you'll need the raspberry pi, an SD chip and a cable. I haven't really looked into it but does the google chromecast do the same thing? Although I think I'll have to wait till I get a job, so I've got some money to spend. Things are a bit tight at the moment. more info needed ggmi. |

I might sound old fashioned, but I find it a lot easier to go to a football ground, pay a tenner/twenty and watch a game of football....
I do sympathise with those of you who are not entirely local though

You need a Raspberry Pi HDMI Cable (try and use one with ethernet support as then you might be able to use your tv remote as the control - I tried a normal cheap cable and it didn't let me use the tv remote but when I tried a better cable with ethernet support it worked) Micro USB Cable (Power supply) SD Card (If you're not good with computers then buy a ready made one with XBMC already on it - I can point you in the right place) An ethernet cable |
