xbmcdoc, well I do use 1080i quite a bit with full HD content from my NAS drives and when the internet is good enough outside of peak periods I do stream 1080 content if it is available. Of course since a later version of Linux Gotham 13.1 and with all Linux Gotham 13.2 versions you do get true full 1080 HD now adn not upscaled 720. Hmm still seems incredibly hot 140C for a cpu, but of course these are not Intel or AMD cpus as we use in our PCs which all run rarely over 80C tops.
Bodgit, yes that cron timer program looks interesting. Not that I am able to help with that as do not have the skills he needs. Be interested in it when ever it does get finished and is an idiot proof and easy to use add-on with an easy GUI..
P.S. xbmcdoc I have changed my main 1200 box to 1080p from 1080i and cannot really see any difference in quality, probably as it was so bloody good already in 1080i on my 46" Samsung Series 6. I suppose you could argue theoretically progressive should be better quality than interlaced. Quite honestly I would have to put too equally set up identical TVs next to each other with the same true 1080 res source material one in i and one in p to only possibly see any comparitive differences.
