For those who weren't at the meeting, there were a variety of technical difficulties getting the Raspberry Pi to work over HDMI to my TV. When I got home tonight I set up the TV and used the exact same cable I brought to the meeting to connect the Raspberry Pi to my receiver (which acts as an HDMI switch) and the image immediately showed up on the TV with no problems. I then tried connecting the same cable directly into the TV and reproduced the same bad behavior that happened during the presentation (flickering images, no signal, etc.). I cannot possibly fathom why *adding* a device prevents the problem but perhaps more data will become available as more people start using Raspberry Pi's.<br>
<br>
Tonight after I got the Pi reconnected we streamed a HD TED Talk (using the add-on for XBMC) and the playback was flawless, although contrary to my statements in the meeting I did notice that the chip was fairly warm to the touch.<br>
<br>
I'll post slides as soon as I can - I want to add some details first but I should have them posted before the end of the week. Thanks again for the fantastic turn-out - that was one of the best-attended NBLUG general meetings I've seen in a while and I appreciate all of the interest. Perhaps next time I present there will be fewer technical difficulties. :)<br>

While that's out of scope for the Raspberry Pi, the NeTV[1] is a device aimed at that use. Sadly it's nowhere close to the Raspberry Pi's price point, at $110.<br>

I'll be presenting on the Raspberry Pi TONIGHT at 7:30. I have not found a projector capable of handling either DVI or HDMI so I'm still trying to find a projector or a ~37" or larger TV to bring to the talk. Worst-case, I can use 480i composite video but let me know if you have anything.<br>
<br>
Thanks and see you tonight!<br>

Do you have a newer projector you could bring to the next NBLUG meeting?<br>
<br>
I'll be presenting on the Raspberry Pi this coming Tuesday the 12th and I was<br>
curious if anyone has a projector that has either an HDMI or DVI input. The<br>
Raspberry Pi can output to either composite video or HDMI and HDMI would<br>
definitely be preferable. If a projector is not available I could also use a<br>
loaner TV but that could be a bit messy. :)<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
