I was paying about $70 just for cable TV when i started and $50 for internet. Two to three years later the cable TV had gone up to $125 a 64% increase. I could not stomach the price any more so i decided to look around to see if i can find something, a device that will allow me to get some stations for news, sports, TV shows and movies and i finally found it.<\/p>\n<p>The device is none other than a Raspberry Pi 2 with OSMC a free and open media center operating system that is absolutely incredible. The Raspberry Pi 2 is a small computer the fits in the palm of your hand but is powerful enough to run the OCMC operating system. This media player operating system, OSMC, derives from a Debian Linux and is taylored for the Raspberry Pi 2.<\/p>\n<p>The Raspberry Pi 2 has, an HDMI out so it can be connected to any flat screen TV, 4 USB fast ports where you can connect a WiFi, bluetooth and or drive and a network input. It also has a micro SD card where the operating system can be installed.<\/p>\n<p>The OSMC OS also contains KODI a software package that makes the media player what it is. There many add-ons, just like the apps on your cell phone, that makes this media center very powerful. There are Add-ons for international news channels like BBC, Al Jazeera, Sky News, Bloomberg TV, CNBC, ESPN and so many more. There are Video add-ons for movies and TV shows like iStream, Pulsar etc. There are music add-ons like Pandora and many others. There are internet add-ons like YouTube, Vimeo, GoPro etc. The list is huge !!!!!!<\/p>\n<p>You can also watch local TV channels for those of you that have an antenna, with an additional USB TV tuner.<\/p>\n<p>You can builraspberrypi2-3d this Home Media Center for less than $100 and all you need is a good internet access. Google these keywords, Raspberry Pi 2, OSMC and KODI and you should be able to build one. If you need help let me know.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-734\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nextdaytechs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/raspberrypi2-3.jpg\" alt=\"raspberrypi2-3\" width=\"263\" height=\"192\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aeon-Nox-Kodi-Skin2 I started, as many of you, with Cable TV since it had a good package and fast internet.
