I've recently bought a Raspberry Pi 2 for all of my TV and movie watching. Its about the size of a deck of cards and plugs into the hdmi of your tv. Its basically allows any layman the ability to access all those video streams online without running the risk of viruses. Can get pretty much any tv show or movie thats ever come out and even can run international streams including sky sports. Also as an added bonus it can wirelessly play media from any device on your network and can be controlled using your smartphone. Needless to say I just don't download any more now. As to the legality of it well I don't know much about that...

<p>BBC Nature doco series called The Hunt - spectacular vision</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Attenborough narrating and according to him, the most money spent, best directors and camera people available</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Really really good</p>

<p>That is superb, the behind the scenes episodes are always worth watching too. His cameramen go to extraordinary lengths to get footage for him. </p> -

<p>I built one of these with my 5 year old son, no instructions, remarkably simple.</p>
<p>What OS / media package are you using? </p> -
TWD [spoiler]kinda expected that they would have to leave Alexandria, glad Diana is dead, never liked her character.<br><br>
Carl shoulda gone medieval on that dumb kids arse for being such a tard!<br><br>
As for the Morgan he is a moron....<br><br>
Assume that was the season finale? [/spoiler] -

<p>Nope not the final. Just a break for Xmas. There are three more episodes in Feb.</p> -

Kodi<br>
Works an absolute treat, I cheated and bought it mostly configured though sure I could do it if I had more time/energy -

Yeah that's what I'm using too. Only disappointment so far is lack of Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Master but otherwise, it's bloody brilliant. -
<p>I really like MPC-HC with MadVR.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Supports edge directed interpolation methods for upscaling, and 3D LUTs for colour correction.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There is one limitation:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>DTS Express cannot be bitstreamed and only be decoded when using the ArcSoft DTS Decoder.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't think I've come across DTS Express yet though.</p> -
<p>On the subject of documentaries, there are 90 minute docos "branded" on the BBC as "Storyville" - I'm yet to watch one that doesn't have me captivated</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Recently:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Cartel Wars - Mexicans make Columbians look like a playgroup. Amazing story of Mr Mirales and corruption.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lockerbie Pan Am bomb - dude whose brother died on that flight investigates who really did it</p>
<p> </p>
<p>FBI Undercover - appalling tale of the US being dead set hypocrites, entrapping would be terrorists just to get TV soundbites and preserve their scare-mongering. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Others dealing with fraudulent magicians, killer whales in captivity, Lance Armstrong - <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storyville_(TV_series)'>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storyville_(TV_series)</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lots of others too, and to my naive mind they do a pretty good job of laying out the facts</p> -

<p>You might like this, I read it a few weeks back. <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/09/28/the-avenger'>http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/09/28/the-avenger</a></p> -
<p>If you want to watch an engrossing and intense(!) documentary about Mexico and the Cartels, I highly recommend <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4126304/'><em>Cartel Land</em></a>.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Thanks Tim, that's the one I meant. Quite a ride as you see some hope from the Mexican side with a people's militia that takes back land from the cartels ...</p> -
<p>Was the Lance Armstrong one called The Armstrong Lie?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I highly recommend the director's Jack Abramoff documentary. Michael Scanlon cracks me up every time.</p>

<p>"Stop at nothing" the one on the BBC Storyville series Tim</p> -
<p>Yea, I've watched both those Armstrong ones. Both good.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Mr Robot is quite, well, interesting. Episode 4 where it was basically a withdrawal induced hallucination was quite weird. </p>
