Rasberry PI

[blackduff]

I've heard that the Rasberry PI units will start to sell around the PO. I cannot tell you the name of the person who will be selling them but he is known around this area.

This will be certainly the cheapest way of watching British TV in the PO but you have to take some thinking to make this work.

Have fun!

I've been playing with one of those for a couple of months. Unlike Android boxes it doesn't have a Filmon App. The only way to watch TV seems to be using XBMC which I have found to be even more unreliable than the android version.

I tried installing Firefox to get iPlayer etc but found it to be far to slow, probably because the OS is on an SD card and there isn't much RAM.

Interesting device to play with though and quite a cheap toy but not a serious competitor for the Android IPTV boxes.

Nor for an Apple TV if you already have the necessary other kit to make them work: currently €84 post-free, reconditioned, on the French apple store. Even cheaper in Australia, oddly, if you happen to pass through, especially if you reclaim the GST.
