For those hoping to use XBMC + RTM streaming to watch World Cup... Sorry to be the bearer of bad news

mine already badly rusty on top of the roof, the cable already been potong some more 

I use indoor rabbit ear with booster. Analog is grainy a bit (especially VHF channels like RTM, which now also have ghosting since all those tall buildings in Klang town popped up), but digital is crystal clear. Unfortunately, knowing assteruk, I suspect they will also force RTM to suspend digital transmission during World Cup...

Well, you can try. But afaik RTM's analog transmitters are located at Sungai Besi, not KL Tower. KL Tower is where the Digital transmitters are.

Hi guys.

Planning to make a XBMC + NAS (one or separate solution) for my new home. Most probably will go for RPi for XBMC and my old PC for NAS.

Any idea on how's the performance of RPi XBMC streaming 1080p from a NAS?

That is what I am planning to do. But can we implement some sort of a raid setup using RPi? I doubt it as you can only attached a USB storage device on the one and only USB port provided on the RPi. Unless there's a way of doing a raid on RPi, a NAS server made out of a PC is required. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah. I checked a few online discussion regarding RPi NAS. The best thing about RPi NAS is that it consumes very little amount of power. Some even say USD 5 per year. But the worse thing about RPi NAS is the capability of making a NAS Raid, due to the reason you gave above.

Most probably I'll go for 2 RPi with one as a Single HD NAS RPi for the time being. Then when I have enough budget, I'll go for a Green NAS setup. Gotta keep the electricity bill low. Haha

Hi, how's the transfer speed when copying files to your NAS RPi? Do you usually get around 9-10 MB/s?

I see, that speed is quite acceptable
From what I've read, some experienced slow speed as low as 1MB/s which is even worse,
Is your partition set as NTFS or Ext4/3? Seems like most users recommend use ext4 for better transfer speed 
Do you use your RPi other than NAS? Like as download manager from usenet/torrents/direct links.

I never really understood how eD2k works 
If you connect your 3TB ext4 formatted drive to your pc with windows,
Would you still be able to get that sweet USB3.0 transfer speed?
Planning to get the the B+ raspberry model soon, and still waiting for xiaomi box pro to test xbmc on it

I using unifi orange router and android box.
1. Can I plug a hdd into the USB port behind the router and share the movie file into xbmc in my android box?
2. What file type is best for Full HD movies?

anyone had try to use raspberry pi to do as NAS and host all the HD movies on it then stream to xbmc?
How was the performance?

yours hdd direct connected to raspberry pi right. What if connect to a USB hub only connect to the raspberry pi will it works? So can have many hdd.

Do you have the link where to buy the new model B+ with that 4 usb ports? And do your RPi also served as NAS? How good is the r/w speed?

generally, the bigger the file, the better video and audio. i m most probably wrong somewhere, but i go with this order:

nice upgrade, everything will now be twice as fast!

i had my hypptvbox in the drawer for >3 yrs... becos i paid rm199 w/o pack.
after 5 calls and 1 month of haggling with unifi (after reading others paying 169, 179), i finally got megapack.
to be fair, the current megapack is reasonable with a few decent hd channels, so i started to use it again.

my orig dlink router is >3 yrs old, still working. but i had replaced it with an asus which gives stronger wifi and more stable ethernet.
it's good to know u had orig dlink router working with dtshdma/ddtruehd - can keep it as backup for just-in-case.
my orig modem kaput a few months back, had it replaced foc.

From kodi testing, the idle is at about 6w, and full steam also, around 15w only IIRC

power brick is rated at 65w, way way lower than a typical htpc. The i3 power brick needs a 45w one only!

my only reason to get this is due to having it being left on 24/7, hence need the low power consumption

Anyone know where i can walk in buy edimax nano wifi adapter in klang valley?
