No, you can use raspbian, usb grabber for video data from TV (scart) and watching TV. I am using osmc (static images/full color) for testing and configuring. This is time killer

Great work, I have leds and capture from lightbery website but I could not manage to make them work. Do you think that they can be used for this project? Could you upload your rpi image somewhere? Do I need my rpi to be connected with HDMI cable all of the time? Thanks

Hi,
i have just registered to this forum.
it seems that my Samsung 55D7090 is able to be rooted an sammygo can be installed.
I can not get to your first link because i still have not donated.
But before i would donate, do you know if the LibPVRtoscart works on Samsung D series or is it just working with F Model?
Because i have already all requirements and my boblight works with an external dreambox 8000 and it would be nice to have it direkt over the TV.
