Youview is continuing to go backwards in terms of release date, and my PVR is becoming unreliable. I was hoping to wait for the Youview release to get a new box.
If I jumped now to get new standard Freeview box, is it feasible to use the RPi as a TV catch-up box?
Would like to access iplayer, itvplayer, 4od, 5od... presumably through their own interfaces (so not as nice as youview). Would Flash be a limiter (thinking that 4od runs through youtube, i think).
Presumably I would have a task on my hands to develop some kind of application that could improve control (would be nice to have an IR receiver to program my universal remote).
I've never had much fun with Linux.. I hope this will give me something to focus on and learn with. My guess is that I could be biting off more than I can chew!
