Hi guys, i've used xbmc on my iphone 4 but still relatively new to this scene so will appreciate some help. I've streamed live sports using xbmc on iphone so with the football season starting again, I am thinking of trying this on my tv. Have a budget of £100 and after reading these forums, come to the conclusion that cheapest option will be apple tv (1st or 2nd gen) or an acer revo (cheaper models second hand) - although i've heard something about rasberry pi Basically, I only need a device to
1) stream live tv channels/sports without buffering(!)..i mean smooth playback -> xbmc
2) stream tv shows/movies (icefilms) ->xbmc
3) would be great, but not necessary, if I can play some movies (mkvs) etc i've downloaded onto my pc upstairs
Which device would you experts recommend and if apple tv, 1st gen or 2nd gen? (i know 1st has internal memory but would this really help me that much for what I want from the device)
Please post why you think what device would be ideal
