Interesting to see they have given the Pi a huge performance boost. Around 6 times more powerful. Single core to now Quad code.
Windows 10 will support it and be free which could be massive for it.
All for roughly the same money as well which is good.

Yeah the B+ has not been out for that long. They should have just waited for the 2 as its the sort of jump that everyone would have wanted.
Hopefully will make general use less painful

Still lacks a dedicated ethernet controller and they haven't update the VPU (so no X265 support which would have been handy if using it as a media player), although it's certainly a worthy update.
The Odroid C1 looks impressive as well, especially as it's a similar price to the RPi2; just a shame support isn't going to match the RPi community.

BBC iPlayer, ITV and TVCatchup addon's give you live channels. In terms of IPTV/streams, NaviX, SportsDevil and Phoneix are the usual addons but tbf i've yet to find anything worth while as you always get a load of streams that are either horrendous quality, continuously stutter/buffer or fail to load.
