Hi.
I was wondering if XBMC is or may be available to the Sony W905 or any of the other new Sony TV's? It does seem to be able to handle it.

Welcome to the XBMC forums.
You can hook up your XBMC system to your Sony TV via an HDMI cable to use it as a display. But as far as actually installing and running XBMC on the TV, no.

Thanks for the reply.
Yeah I figured as much. The only problem is, I don't have a PC with HDMI...

Because you need a tape player

If we had some bacon we could have bacon and eggs if we had some eggs.

Jurge, get a 50$ raspberry pi. That has HDMI. And XBMC. And you can even mount in on the back of the TV (on the VESA mount). Or you can even put it inside your TV like some people did.

OK I just bought a Raspberry Pi. I reckon there are some sort of accessories I would require for it. Do you guys have any recommendations?

I can't stretch cable throughout our living room. Isn't there some sort of Wifi I can use with it?

Sure go for wifi if you want. Pesonally I don't recommend wifi unless its a last option. Plenty of suitable wifi adapters, either that or grab a powerline ethernet adatapter - they typically give better performance, especially for hd content.

Ok. What about SD card? Is class 4 enough, or should i get class 10?

Class 10 is better (faster & less chance of corruption). However, if you do not plan to overclock the Pi then class 4 will do.
