Second Generation Homebrew PVR Devices

Posted by michael on from the got-to-do-things-the-hard-way dept.

An anonymous reader writes "It looks like the second generation of homebrew PVRs is on its way. Asus recently released their Digimatrix barebones PC which combines a lot of features in a very slim and stylish box. DVD/CD-R, WiFi, HDTV tuner, FM Tuner, memory card reader etc. All for ~$400. The reviews look good, except that the software that comes with it doesn't look all that great... of course this may not be a problem because there has already been significant effort in getting linux to run on it and most features are working. Combine MythTV with this device and you have an almost perfect PVR? I wonder what other hardware companies have in store for the homebrew PVR market?"

    But do they run Linux? Or do you have to pay $699 and become a cocksmoking teabagger?

    Did Digimatrix say you could speak, SLAVE?
