                  You can also use a Blackberry phone charger as it is the same connection as the raspberry pie, one thing with the Rasberry pi it does not have a on / off switch so i put an in line light switch on mine which saves you pulling the power lead out of the Pi all the time saving you wear and tear.....

                      Coulb be interest in the switch, where did you get it from mate? Raspberry pi in a great bit of kit, xbmc works perfect compared to the g-box midnight.

                          Went to my local hardware electric store cost about 80p i think certainly under a pound, i prefer the local stores as they are miles cheaper for things like that than the big department ie C & Q 0r Meplans if you know what i mean :-)

                          And definitely a good piece of kit and it keeps getting better and for the price second to none, i'm running Raspbmc which i think is really smooth some like Openlec.

                              I'll have a look in to it, thanks mate.

                              Havent tried raspbmc, went for openelec as it is meant to be smoother & faster.

                                  If you have a usb port on your tv you can power it with that.
