A few beginners questions. I got rid of sky, got fibre and want to use on demand and streaming alternatives.
1)
I looked at Xbmc on my laptop and love the huge number of repositories that can be downloaded leading to add ons to access different streaming sources. Can find almost anything on there. Does xbmc work in the same way when used on a media streamer?
2) I don't think my laptop is very powerful and picture quality would be better using a streamer. If I were to use Xbmc what streamers would be best? Any advice/input from little black box users - is it any good?
3) I also like the idea of using chrome cast and plex for existing media - films and loads of home movies. There seems like some overlap between what plex does and what Xbmc does although they also do different things. Would Xbmc on a streamer as well as cc with plex be overkill?
Thanks
