Sadly, looking at how often the site changes, it is not going to last but I am keeping my fingers crossed. At least I am glad that it is finally working for you.

Would you mind sharing your experience of running XBMC on Raspberry Pi? I think I will be going the same way eventually. Which model did you get? What sort of performance, stability and limitations should one expect? Thanks!

The software which I'm using (Raspbmc) is still in Alpha phrase but is already very stable (only crashed a couple of times - but thats because it was disagreeing with some add ons I was trying out). There is a very small amount of delay when switching between screens but nothing to drastic (less that 1 sec) and as the software improves Im sure that will go away.

The model I have is the 'Model B' which is the better one of the 2 (A&B) and also has a RJ45 plug. You can add wireless and bluetooth support with USB dongals but at the moment there is limited Driver support, again Im sure this will improve with time (I managed to get my wireless & bluetooth working without much issue).

The only limitation I have found out is that it does not play RMVB files (there is sound but no video), not sure if this is the same for other XBMC builds, but other than that it has handled all the video files I had thrown at it. Playback is smooth and expected, and add ons such as Navi-X and Icefilms works very well on it.

I hope that gives you a bit of insight, I will update you with more info as I find out if you are interested.

Yes, I would very much like to read more about your progress. How do you control XBMC on Raspberry Pi? Are you using a USB keyboard or an infrared remote control? How well supported is LIRC? In a somewhat related news, an alpha version of XBMC for Android is now available. So, in the near future, we will be able to run it on cell phones or tablets that are HDMI ready. As for RMVB playback, I can tell you that it does work on a regular XBMC installation. I am playing one right now on my system (XBMC on Linux Mint 12 on 8+ year old hardware).

Fixed most of the problem but not all. LeTV site changes video decode link algorithm again. So need some time to decipher again.
