[Hoot Gibson]

Hoot, I just got my Pi setup as an entertainment system. I went the tv tuner and hard drive route (Had a few laying around totaled up to almost 3tb). Loving everything so far. Are you running XBMC?

I set mine up to run XBMC but I was unable to get it to stream some things such as Amazon videos and it seems really slow. I ended up getting an "Android on a stick" and although it has a few flaws of its own, it runs much faster and is better suited for web browsing than the Pi. I still intend to use the two Pi's that I bought for some other projects. I have a laser engraver/cutter and I am considering building something around a Pi for a contest on instructables.com.

If haven't checked recently, but there should be an Ubuntu distro (Picuntu) for the Pi soon, if it has not already been released. I want to try loading that distro and then give the Pi another shot. I think that the Pi has the potential to serve as the core for an internet radio device. I have seen some projects that use low resolution LCD screens designed for small DVD players and car back-up monitor systems paired with the Pi. I would like to have a wireless portable device to play Tunein radio.
