Gameboy..now that was a machine.
Anyone got a new android mini PC that turns your normal TV into a smart TV or will I start another thread ? ? ? ?
Anyone got a Rasperry Pi ?
Im a little obsessed with the small stuff right now.
Sky on demand i think is amazing just to have hours and hours of quality TV when you want it. And the broadband that supplies it. It is very easy to complain about slow speeds and all that but when you see how far we have come!!
Just pick up your smartphone, its incredible(unless its an Iphone) ;)
We have the minix neo x7. It's changed our world.Quote:

I killed off Sky months and months ago, never looked back. Killed off Netfix not long after when I noticed no-one was watching it. Everything comes from Tinternet now. To be fair though, I'm not much of a sports guy. :)
Currently using Plex, which is incredible, but I think I'll need to switch back to XBMC and try harder to get it right. The lack of ability to create a playlist or simply play a folder when 90% of the TV watched in my house is short, short kids programmes, can be a nightmare.
Have the X5 - its a great bit of kit. Have an Amiko Alien Triple Tuner running enigma2 in the living room for TV and it steams flawlessly to the x5 via the Dreamdroid app. No wires. As well as you tube, rte player, 4od etc etc.Quote:

I'm pretty sure both of those are possible - I know I've hit play to watch an entire season on more than one occasionQuote:

edit: I've got this back to front haven't I, but there is an addon for an xbmc front-end and plex server
You did, it's Plex that's lacking in this department. Unfortunately Plex has basically taken command of my N54L, so I need to disengage that before I go back to XBMC. It's a great app, but their development goals seem to have been overshadowed by their financial goals.
This deserves its own thread.Quote:

I run XBMC on an OUYA - https://www.ouya.tv/ - and that does me just fine.
If you're having trouble with XBMC, might I suggest the official app for mobiles, and Yatse for tablets, both make watching using XBMC much simpler.
