1432647 2017-03-10 07:48:00 Hi Guys

I have a Smart TV with Freeview Plus. But not Sky

Although I sometimes like Al Jazeera, it does get a bit depressing at times, bombings and warfare every day.

I would like to be able to watch BBC World, or CNN or Fox news.

Is there any way I can get them on my tv ?

Thanks

I'd like to think so, its the latest Samsung with the Tizen OS.
My g/f watches Youtube on it all day.

Or do you want to know what colour it is, if it has a black or silver bezel, or it has big speakers.

1432656 2017-03-12 00:10:00 Maybe the Raspberry Pi 3 and with Kodi could stream via HDMI. But it seems involved - need build it, adapt it, and add Media Center software (e.g. OpenELEC) to work it. "Possible" Tutorial here... (mymediaexperience.com)


E bay USA and Trademe are selling Raspberry Pi 3 kits, loaded with software.
