I recently set up a bunch of Rokus for a friend and now there seems to be a bit of a demand for setting up more of them for his friends - what's a fair price to charge for setting up a Roku along with the other bits and pieces like Unotelly, Netflix, Hulu… ?
 
i'd say about R200-R300... depending how long it takes you... what about travel cost?

its not that hard to set it up, but hey, if someone wants to pay you for it, go ahead...

I'm not going to try wrestling 80" LCDs off the wall to snake the cables for R300 :p :)

I was thinking more in that area.
 
Just whatever you do, do not help them set up a XBMC/RaspBMC type thing that streams pirated content.
I had a chat with a guy in the piracy industry that told me that if you install something like that, even under the auspices of you're helping them view their backup photos, you never knew they were watch pirated content, you can still be held accountable as helping distribute piracy.

I was looking into doing exactly that at the time. :(
 
How hard is it to setup a roku? I mean wtf? there are even youtube videos on it...

Anyways... having said that... bwana - milk it while you can!

Just dont get locked up!
