2. Good streaming that can match paid services? I don't think so.
3. What plan of broadband are you using?

I haven't find a satisfactory live streaming for football. But if you just want sports channel i.e. not necessary live, I got some that appears satisfactory.

yeah it'd be a bit more troublesome. the main issue here is that old people like my parents are computer-illiterate and never know how to use a mouse, so i'm trying to see if my new solution can totally avoid using mouse or not.

another issue is whether it is practical or not to run the tablet for more that 4 hours with an active connection to wifi and TV. Has anyone done it before? Any advice?

I'm using Himedia Q5, and control it using my android phone. If you want to avoid mouse, you can check it out. However, with android box and xbmc, I don't think controlling using a wireless mouse is difficult, even for old people, you just have to set it up so it automatically open the application you want, set some favorite channel and apps and after that its just point and click.

Guys, im probably a noob in this area. So i could use some good advise. Im planning to get rid of my Astro (for obvious reasons e.g constant repeats, old documentaries, etc). I intend to install a high speed home fibre internet.

What are my options to get all the Astro channels and also download latest HD movies and serials? Money is not an issue as long as i dont pay a huge amount per month. Most important is it must be hassle free and has quality.

Please let me know. Thanks!

(P/S: I want only latest English movies and Serials)

If you have a PC explore xbmc in your PC first. See whether you like it or not. If ok, then either connect your PC to your TV (for bigger screen) or buy one of the android box.

Ok, step by step exploration then. http://xbmc.org/about/
