I did not have any chance to look at one of those boxes (they don't offer them in Germany yet). So, I cannot comment on any hardware internals. Maybe somebody from Nokia is lurking on this list and can give details? In the end everything will probably depend on the end-user price. Some articles mentioned a price of under 500 Euro in Germany if they get subsidies by companies which would get commercial space on the TV application in return. In Sweden the price turned out to be 750 Euro with and 1050 Euro without an ISP+pay-TV contract (according to an articel on www.ostdev.net). I'll wait how the price in Germany will really turn out to be. > Does it give access to a linux shell or X display on the TV screen? > Is it possible to install and display what-ever linux software on it? A lot of developer information is available at www.ostdev.net. As far as I understand it, you should be able to download the SDK and write your own applications. They also mention that they use X11. So, I guess existing X11 applications would run. Ralph -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
