Indeed.

Retropie + KODI + tvheadend is a good combination, and with the new DVB-T hat for the RPi you can pull in Freeview direct with no dongles required.

It's my only "TV", it's an NVR recording onto a 128Gb SD card, I can stream it to my phone anywhere in world (ala TVPlayer), and it's set up with all my classic games consoles and games on it, too.

The RPi now is what I wanted the RPi to be when it first came out and I was involved in the earliest testing. It's powerful enough to be useful, low power enough to be portable and tinkerable, extensible and supported enough to not be obsoleted, and cheap enough to be commodity.
