I preferred the Debian solution used both XBMC and Myth both worked both had proms and cons i preferred Myth in the end.

I don't remember the name of the person that sell them (but i remember that he was one of the old generation of linux in IL) but there is a specialized hardware and software that is soled in isreal and allow you to do it (some where near netivot). As i remember they use DreamBox software (Just another linux distro). Be aware that some of the employers are on this list and on cert.org.il and nsp-sec forums so any of your disclose info will be put there. > Gadi > -- ------------ Boris Shtrasman ----------------- | Software developer | | IM : bori...@jabber.org | | URL : myrtfm.blogspot.com | | linkedIn : www.linkedin.com/in/BorisShtrasman| ----------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
