Dreambox DM7000: Hackable DVR

An anonymous reader copies-and-pastes "The Dreambox DM7000 from Dream-Multimedia-Tv (DMM) is a $395 Linux-based digital radio and digital TV (DVB) satellite (or cable) receiver with digital video recorder (DVR) functions and PC connectivity. It is implemented using IBM's STB04500 set-top box chipset, which provides the necessary DVB functions like transport stream demultiplexing and MPEG2 decoding inexpensively. A minimalistic, GPL'd Linux-based software implementation has made the DM7000 popular with Linux programmers and TV device hackers."

    Wooo I'm bored so I'm gonna reply to the trolling AC.

    I wish I was at home eating crackers and watching porn. Instead, I'm sitting here in the cube farm, surfing Fark and /. while telling overpaid consultants that make 8 times what I do how to do their jobs.

    Oh well, it's a paycheck. TGIF.
