Yes, I built a few MythTv's. Easy to do. I wanted a Tivo for $50.00. On Mon, Jul 6, 2009 at 6:56 AM, Joe j...@nationnet.com wrote: Could you use a Tomato flashed router, configure in client mode, and then you would have an ethernet port as close to the Tivo as you want. I have been Tivo

Honestly, my hacked xbox was simply the best investment as a media player ever, plus it still plays games. Even better, it rips the games to HD, or readily accepts them via ftp pushed iso's. I still use it to this day (7yr later), where im begrudgingly migrating to xbmc on linux for 720p and

Your best bet, by far, is to try the ,401# hack. I used that for years with no problems. Obviously, it won't work well (at all) with the wireless USB... so don't use it! Get an approved wired USB adapter and plug it in. You can always return the adapter if you won't need it later. I will
