I am about to doing the same, already bought two 50 leds light stripes chains for my 46 TV but struggling to find a suiting 5V power supply with 4-5 A.
Which power supply did you use and do you have recommendations for me ?
As far as i understood, when connecting my nexus 7 tab running xbmc android via my avr/slimport cable the raspberry hyperion should receive the boblight server messages from xbmc android addon and do the lightshow, but is there an app or service which connects hyperion to the nexus 7 desktop screen doing light messages when using other than xbmc android app ?

Hyperion is the best thing that ever happened to XBMC. I was so happy when I found it last month and could get rid of the classic boblightd. Got it working on both Raspbmc and OpenELEC.

Hyperion works awesome. 1 thing i can't find is that the first led always keeps burning. does someone know how i can change that?

Only time I had random flashes was when I didn't have the Ground on the LED strip connected to the power supply AND the Pi GPIO connector.

I had the same problem with hyperion and ws2801.
Random flashes with xbian, but works perfectly in Raspbmc.

Do you have it running with an USB Video Grabber or through plain dispmanx?
