I have had a chance to test a shuttle now, and it really seems to be quite noisy (too noisy for my taste at least). Have you looked at how well the freevo architecture would support having the tuners on a different machine? Or do you plan to use the set-top box simply as a terminal. Hmmm, maybe thats a bit unclear (; What I want to know is if you: *) Want to execute freevo on the set-top box and have some sort of daemon on the server. The set-top box would then send commands to the server and the server would stream movies back to the machine *) Want to execute freevo on the server and just display it on the set-top box (using vnc or a remote x session) regards, Andreas ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Freevo-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users
