I use Kodi on a Raspberry Pi and can use my TV remote with it, the HDMI-CEC thing seems to work ok

I've been looking at the EXS Aerover but they never seem to have any stock. The Avian Falcon looks OK too and is a lot cheaper, the Canary looks a bit too light/flexy though.

Yeah, you're right, if the BIOS doesn't see the drive at all, Ubuntu won't see it either, if the BIOS is just failing to see it as a bootable drive, it might. I think Ubuntu is normally better at picking up dud drives than Windows is but if the Mobo isn't thinking it's connected, it won't pick it up.

You could use something like an Ubuntu Live which allows you to boot into Ubuntu using a CD or USB (no install). It's normally pretty good at mounting drives if they're readable. If the drive appears, you can have a look and see what's on it, you could mount an external drive and copy any data across, if it doesn't appear, it's probably dead.

I think talking to a financial advisor would be a good idea too. I would have thought in your situation though, it might be best for her to lend you the money to pay it off, then you repay with interest. I think if she buys the house and you live in it, then you slowly buy it back, it over complicates things in terms of who owns what legally. If you pay her interest, I think she'd probably need to declare it and pay tax on it as an income (as she would if it was in a bank).

I opened one for my sons to put the money the grandparents gave them at Xmas and birthdays etc. Overwise it was just sitting in a 1% junior cash ISA which they couldn't touch till they were 18 anyway. At least this way, it'll hopefully keep up with inflation...

I use Kodi plugged into my TV with a simple WD MyCloud NAS and it seems to work fine as long as Kodi supports the video file format.

Was thinking of upgrade the NAS to a 2 bay though, any consensus on good but reasonably priced 2 bay enclosures?

You can normally use a Live disk to boot into Linux so you don't have to install it, then format the drive in that

Sent you a pm

We use Veeam at work for physical and virtual machine backups

Dibs the Oakleys if they're still available and you'd post them?

Yep, managed to convince myself I needed one, thanks @Albb
