**PiTV** streams movies and TV shows from torrents like *PopcornTime* do...

To install:


wget http://pitv.pw/scripts/setup.sh
sudo sh setup.sh

**Note** that running this script on your system "hijack" *Raspbian* to make it yours. That is, many applications are installed and when you restart, boot to X with *Google Chrome* in background. Undo the changes is complex. Also it is a very early alpha version, but I've tried it and *it works**.

When *PiTV* is ready it will display a *Raspberry* logo on an orange background.

You can then access the remote control via browsing to the local IP address of your Pi as you can see in the capture above.

*PiTV's* remote will display all series and movies, which it can find on *The MovieDB*.

To play an episode or movie, select it and wait some seconds for PiTV to load the torrents.

Enjoy!
