can I watch streamed football on them or use as a pc on my tv to browse ect?

 

[deedie]

have a look at xbmchub and you will see some of the amazing plugins that are available for xbmc

including streaming movies, tv programs and live sports and just about everything else you can think of.

this is a much better bargain than the now tv box in my opinion. this can do everything that can, plus a lot more

There are several distros for browsing etc id imagine it would be slow.

There are lots of links available for footy via plugins installed on xbmc sportsdevil for one.
