Just put one or two movies in it.... then look for Movie Information then try and configure from there. Took me quite a while I will admit. It's quite geeky to set up but once its up and running its fantastic.

I'd probably be quite lost with the Apple TV version as well.... It's linux based. Worth some time learning it IMO.

Actually just thought of something.... Run Boxee on your computer instead just to give yourself an idea of what the much better XBMC is capable of. Boxee is dead simple to use. Boxee is basically a user freindly version of XBMC and should just run straight away.

just need to find time to play with it. thanks pal

tell me more?

its a bit like a router
plays everything on your computer through the telly
theres a lot more to it but so far i havent had the time to go through it all

its great for playing music though.
select yir music on yir phone and then select where you want to play it from
i have apple tv in my bedroom, lounge, wee lounge, outside and i have speakers in the kitchen. the kitchen run off apples air play
when i want to listen to music i just select all or where ever apple tv i want the music to come to through an app on my phone

Oooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhh

Is it expensive? This is new to me. We cancelled sky tv a few months back and don't really miss the packages etc itself, but do get hacked off when I'm home of the drivel on the tv. Love my music would love to be able to play the music off my itunes or iphone/ipod in different places without relying on the max volume coming out the little speaker on the device.

If you're in the UK, AppleTV is about £99

Thank you xx

WD TV Live is better. You can plug in your own storage so you don't need to stream.

Dont you go saying there is something better

Easier and cheaper solution is to get a set of casters fixed to the bottom of your radiogram and simply take it with you round the house...

Yes, but will it play my old 78s?

Depends... Were they made in the UK? Do you live in Australia?

Of course, because those spin the other way around, good thinking.
