Hey there:
Pretty much a newb here and would like to ask some questions about my set up and experience so far.
I have a RaspberryPi B+ in which I have a micro SD card (Cat 10) running OpenElec. I have used an old cell phone charger for my power (5v 1000 mAh) and an HDMI cable to my HDTV.
OpenElec looks good and works well however I am finding a few issues with my set-up. Mind you maybe these are normal and my expectations were too high for this to be a "Cable Cutting" venture.
Here's the thing, I am in Canada and what I would like is to watch programming as I do now with HD quality live streams from my cable provider however most of what I am getting is add-ons that don't run (script errors and other errors) or poor quality video (pixely, low def, and audio out of sync). Some seem ok, I have found the best one so far to be a british one that looks decent on some feeds but only a few within the Add-on
Are these issues fixable or did I expect too much? Not that I feel any of this has been a waste because I am learning (well trying) something new and having fun!
Thanks to anyone who cares to read this and respond. I'd love to hear some other peoples experience.
