Thanks Bob, As mentioned I've actually got OSMC (ie Kodi) running on Pi2 complete with those naughty plugins that do real time bittorrent. However I want to be legit and pay for my stuff. OSMC/Kodi runs lovely and quick on Pi2. What a nice piece of software.

Interesting from d000hg about the rent/buy mess. Not good news. I would go Netflix but I'm more interested in recent (ish) films.

Sorry I didn't realise it was the same thing

If you're not an Apple fanboi, quite a lot.

Like what? Or do you mean "if you're an Apple anti-fanboi" rather than "not an Apple fanboi"?

I get lumped in with the Apple Fanboi crew, but as I am an über-geek I should align with the Android boys.

And I do for dicking around, AIX 7.2 out soon, but when I just want something to work and not have to act as unpaid home IT support, Apple wins every time. It just works...

Price is high for the kit.
Kit isn't anything spectacular to look at compared to other offerings.
Kit is very ordinary in functionality terms.
Too much iTunes integration and I've never liked their tracking behaviour.
Subscription price is absurd.

I'm not an Anti-fanboi, I just have never seen a reason to treat Apple as if they're worthy of any special regard.
The argument that Apple has become a form of religion with acolytes worshipping at the altar of anything with a logo does have a lot of validity.

I have GOT to be less of a Victor Meldrew. Leaving the current gig will help. Now where's that late summer bench thread...

Did you cycle, Michael?
