Holla Forums here. Now is the perfect time to cut not only your Netflix, but also your cable and other shit too. You can set up an entire home media center for under $80 now-a-days, and it's not even CIA botnet or normie-electronics assembled by some Maytag Man Wannabee.
After all is said and done, you have yourself a fully-powered digital media center/pirating device the size of a credit card!
What you will need
* Raspberry Pi (3 preferd, 2 works, 1 NO)
* Internet
* HD TV (this shit is awful on a SD 4:3 tv. Sorry)
* HDMI cable
* NOOBS SD (from the Pi website)
* Raspi Power Adapter
* Raspi Case (prefered with heat Sink)
* Keyboard (Bluetooth prefered)
* OPTIONAL: Wireless Dongle known to work with Raspberry Pi/Linux
* OPTIONAL: USB HDD (for media storage)
Starting
Connect everything, including the Wifi Dongle or the Ethernet cable. Make sure that you are on the right tv input, and the NOOBs SD card is in. Make sure this is all pluged in before plugging in the power adapter, as it will power after it is plugged in.
Installing
Next, using your keyboard, hold down the Shift key. This will bring up the NOOBs installer menu. Whay you're going to want ot do first is (if you are using WiFi press the key to oopen the wifi menu. It'll say. Connect to the internet with it then go back to the main menu and) scroll down to OSMC (Pi 2 or Pi 3). Press space to select, then press return/enter to have it install. It may promot you that it will overwrite the whole system. Select OK using the keyboard.
After the install occurs, the system should reboot automatically and it will boot into the OSMC. OSMC (Open Source Media Center) is a Debian-based System with Kodi at its core.
Settings
You may need some light tweeks to the Raspberry Pi boot config, which can easily be done in the My OSMC menu. Consult this guide if you want to be a poweruser. elinux.org/RPiconfig
Most of the settings (such as moving to 1080pi) can be done via the settings menu of OSMC. Change to Expert level, go to Display, change to 1080pi, then scroll down to calabrate video. You will open a wizard that will diaplay a line and a box. The fist step is to move the arrow keys until the top right has an arrow. Move that until you get it at the exact corner. Next, do the same for the bottom arrow. They probably won't ber visible since the default picture is wider than the screen itself.
The addons/repos
You need to add third-party repo (repositories) to get the super cool (but borderline illegal) add-ons so you can pirate shit. These repos have instructions so I need not repeat them here
* superrepo.org/get-started/
* tvaddons.ag/
The primary pirating addons you will need are Exodus (for movies/tv) and C-Cloud (for IPTV, aka Internet Protocol TV, which is a newer streaming protocol on the net).
Legal addons that may interest you include:
* Daily Motion
* RT News
* Infowars
* Youtube (glitchy)
* Vimeo
* Vevo
Some things to consider
You may not like that sometimes the video/audio gets desyncronized. This is due to the fact that in order to cut costs, the Pi doesn't have hardware-support for MPEG video (and Windows Media, but who gives a shit about that). You need to purchase the codes for a dollar to unlock it. You can do that here raspberrypi.com/mpeg-2-license-key/
You may miss being able to tune into the news, watch sports, etc on cable. Well, it seems that the normalfag millenials don't know that Antenna TV is still a thing. Buy an antenna and either plug it into the back of your HD TV and do a channel scan OR buy a computer TV tuner for your Pi and watch tv right off of OSMC. OSMC also doubles as a TV guide and a DVR!
