Android XBMC+Tablet+NAS+TV?
#1
Hi. I'm new to the forum and XBMC but I really hope you can answer my newbie question.

I wish to create a neat wireless home media center using:

1. NAS as storage
2. Wireless network
3. Two different TVs (bedroom and living roow). These two TVs are not Smart TVs, not DLNA certified, and doesn't have WiFi.
4. Android Tablet and Phone to run XBMC as a remote.

The problem I assume here is that the TVs do not have any means to access the wireless system, and thus the idea fails.
My question is what I need to aquire in terms of hardware to get this system up and running. Dongles, Media centers etc.

I am very grateful for any advice you can give me.

Thanks,
Henrik

Well essentially all you need is something which is a UPnP/DLNA renderer (e.g. WDTV Live) however XBMC's built in UPnP controller is hit and miss with non-XBMC devices, I'm not sure if it works with one of those cheap players.

So it's best to use something which runs XBMC naturally, Raspberry Pi's are cheap and effective so you could go with two of those.
