Connecting things up

I was forgotten to say in the previous post that I want to build the RPi inside my CRT tv, so i have an usb and ethernet port on the outside of the tv. The connection will be made with an RCA cable and 3.5 mm jack for the sound and the other connections will be hidden inside the tv.

After opening the package I've installed the files found from http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads and used the clear startguide from http://www.raspberrypi.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/quick-start-guide-v2_1.pdf. I've used a Transcend 8 GB class 10 SD card, and the package says it has a speed of 90 MB/s, this one worked fine for me.
 setup of the RPi, with usb mouse and bluetooth keyboard, SD card, power, Ethernet, RCA and 3.5 mm jack.
 Setup on tv, RCA all. And the optionscreen of the New Out Of Box Software. First I had chosen for Rasbmc, but later I am, after reformat and reinstall the software to the usb, switched to OpenELEC.
 Install screen of Rasbmc.
 Another photo of the RPi, with the usb-stick connected by an usb male to female cable. I still find it scary to plug the connectors of the board.
An testimage from the Youtube-add-on, in real is it a pretty good image for a RCA connection and 50 Hrtz sreen.

In a next message I will try to use my Android smartphone (Samsung Galaxy Pocket GT-S5300) as remote control, so I can use my keyboard again for my normal pc. Also I will built the RPi inside the tv in a next post.
