“XBMC is a very good Media centre for the Raspberry pi and provides a perfect solution as an add on system for a big screen living room TV. The remote control FLIRC is the perfect tool for the control of XBMC. I prefer the remote WiFi keyboard and mouse. My wish is that I could also browse the web and see my emails without haveing to unplug to change the SD card for the Raspberry Pi card. I now have a high speed 7 port USB hub and this provides full HD 1920X1080 video without stop/start due to low speed hub problems. Customers should be told about the speed ratings of hubs on sale! and the need for a decent power unit to provide regulated 5 volts at 2 to 4 amps minimum. Then CD/DVD drives will work properly.”
“This worked perfectly. I bought a USB card reader to go with it and imaged it (using dd) as soon as it arrived so I'd have a fallback position. Then I used it in the Pi. Pretty quick to boot - Raspbian is a nice distro.”
