I registered interest originally & still haven't heard anything.

I've got a NAS & subs to lovefilm & Netflix so sounds like my plan to use it as a streamer is easily doable.

Looks as though Lovefilm and Netflix specifically do no support anything Linux/UNIX based.

So your subs will be of no use on a Pi...

Which sucks

Looks like a really interesting prospect for a thin media client. You sure there are no plugins for LF or Netflix on XBMC?

Looks like there may be a Netflix add on (XBMCFlicks), but nothing for Lovefilm.

I've been roped into electronics at work and the pi has been discussed a bit.
Therefore I have registered my interest. I'mnot expecting anything quick to come of it though - I get the impression there is quite a waiting list!

Not sure What I would actually use it for, but it would certainly be usful for work!

So it's here, I've stuck wheezy on and so far done nothing obviously it due to lack of time. I'd like to make it a media centre, especially if on demand channels and Netflix work!!
