Linux-Powered PVR/Satellite Machine

spicyjack writes "After reading this story, I thought this submit would be appropriate. A German company called Dream-Multimedia-TV has come up with a schweet custom box targeted for the PVR/Satellite markets. How about a machine with a 250Mhz IBM PowerPC, 2 SmartCard readers, one CompactFlash slot, UDMA66 IDE, MPEG2 support with MPEG4 (DivX) support on the way, Ethernet, LCD display, SPDIF out, yada yada yada (zipped User's Manual). Oh, and it is built specifically to run Linux. Available right now. Commence hacking!"

Please keep the "In Soviet Russia" jokes coming. I can't get enough of them; I think I may be addicted! Please, don't worry about the mods, keep them coming. I came for the news, but stay for the "In soviet russia jokes". I have a vision: someday soon, an article will be posted to slashdot, and the only replies will be "In soviet russa" jokes, modded up to their full glory. I may cry. Please make it so.

I think it was Jeff Foxworthy, in his semi-famous "you may be in soviet russia" bit. It was later copied by Rosie O'Donnel during her second season on Saturday Night Live, but she always gave Foxworthy credit, when questioned. O'Donnel is raising three children fathered by Foxworthy, but that occurred after the exchange of this comedic gem. Rumor has it that Foxworthy sold the rights to his "In Soviet Russia" screenplay. Stephen King was schedule to play the central character before his untimely death. In his Maine Home. He will be missed
