    Which speakers?

    Thanks very much, I wasnt sure of current values but couldnt say no at that price. My room is 4.5m x 4m with the speakers sat along the longest wall - I cant move them as they will sit infront of my satelites for my projector. There is plenty of room to sides but only 350/400mm behind. Budget...

    HDMI Audio extractor/de-embedder

    Mucho gracias Cheeseboy :D I was hoping to avoid running any other cables from my TV as its a fairly long run, much easier from the Ouya as its located on the same rack as my separates. Do you run xbmc? and if so what on?

    HDMI Audio extractor/de-embedder

    I was looking at a raspberry pi for running xbmc initially but then this Ouya came up at the right price, I thought I'd give it a bash but it is limited with outputs but it does run xbmc very smoothly and I'd rather not invest in a raspberry pi just for music. I'd rather add a slightly better...
