Bit of a long shot....

Anyone got xbmc running on a raspberry pi with an old style CRT TV?

Just want to know if it's any good

I have a Pi but don't have a CRT set up anymore. I have one in the attic though.

The HDMI is highly recommended although it DOES have an RCA you will have to use the audio through the headphone jack, and quality might be very suspect on the picture.

Hang fire!! My fella has just checked for you.

We haven't got the pi from maplins. There's actually two versions of the pi. The one that we have has HDMI socket and the other side has composite video out (yellow phono socket) + 3.5mm stereo jack audio out (blue small socket). You can connect this to an older TV either using phono lead plus stereo small jack to phono plus a scart convertor if required. Lots of tvs have the phono output. You can usually pick these up in pound shops.

Just connected it to our TV...the menu screen isn't as sharp but playback of video is still a very good picture...

Hope this helps
