Successfully booted my Pi Zero W into Raspbian tonight. Connected it to my living room TV (native HDMI) plus a keyboard and mouse.
Now what?
It's a little Linux computer.... although Corey says I shouldn't think of it that way.
No need to serve tablet content at home :) so I could use (real) ideas about what to do with it.
I don't have a Pi Zero W, but I use Pi models 2 and 3 for media centers for my TVs. The backend is MythTV on my Linux server, and the frontend is Kodi/OSMC running on each Pi. I'm using a Silicon Dust HDHomerun Prime (3 digital tuners with a Cablecard) to feed mythbackend. The only Comcast hardware I have is the Cablecard, and they don't charge for that. I can watch/record any combination of 3 channels at a time. I can also watch live TV on any (modern) computer in the house.
