Panasonic 50" 3D here with no interference or RFI at all. Watch HD ball on Plasma and the difference over LCD / LED is clear.

As it turns out that is basically ALL I used the server for, I'm seriously thinking of getting 1-2 Raspberry Pi units - one for the weather (OWW will do what I want there) - BUT is there something that has similar functionality to ARUser that will run on RP? I'm thinking worst comes to worst, I could probably even run some unix cluster software
