The XBox as the Home Entertainment Media Hub

bigcitymike writes "Well it might be vaporware, but it appears Dreamix is trying to turn the Xbox into a PVR with a TV guide like scheduler. They also state PC as well as Mac/Linux support down the road. " Project Dreamix will turn the Microsoft Xbox into the ultimate home entertainment center." I presume it requires a mod-chip installed." The xbox media player really goes a long way towards this goal already. MSFT may not be the friendliest of companies, but for $200, the x-box makes a helluva stereo component.

This is good work

I'm glad to see those in the Open Source community finally accepting the superiority of not reinventing the wheel and have decided to build their creation on top of existing hardware. Finally, instead of fighting them, we can help out our brothers at Microsoft by boosting Xbox sales and adding value to them.

We are all geeks. It's about time we started sticking together.

I recommend the LMLM4 video capture board from Linux Media Labs. With this board, I was able to archive my extensive collection of hardcore pre-teen arse raping video tapes onto the computer, so I could share them with my good friends Matthew Kelly, Ken Russell and Roger. We all enjoyed them immensely.
