Hi,

I'm wondering if passing through a video stream and overlaying it 
with some Chrome needs less CPU power compared to rendering a video 
stream from a video file that is being received over WiFi. This device 
is the first device I've seen that includes this form of HDMI 
passthrough.


Cheers,
hepi

The netv from chumby seems to be perfect as a hardware client to VDR,
if it can decode mpeg2/h.264. Does anyone here know any more about
this product? It seems to be fairly open, and based on an embedded
linux distro.

Hi,

From what I read about it yesterday I had the impression that it can be 
used for displaying anything but videos on top of the external sources 
picture (that - by the way - can't come from an internal tuner 
integrated in the TV).
Anything but videos IMHO means: Web pages, photos, rss news, its own 
OSD.


So IMHO it's not meant to be used as a video player / video streaming 
device like - for example these upcoming devices:

Unless you want to write a chrome application for the device and go
through the user interface
