An anonymous reader writes "LinuxDevices has published an article about the Telly MC1200, a new convergent PVR/mediaplayer made by Interact-TV. The Linux-based device supports up to three internal hard drives on which it can store and manage libraries of digital music, photos, and DVDs/video. It can also burn CDs and save DVDs to local mpeg (DivX?) files, and it can pause and record live TV in TiVO-like fashion. The device is based on a 1.2GHz VIA C3 processor and has 256MB of PC2100 DDR SDRAM memory, expandable to 1GB."

Starts at 800$US! by AlexMidn1ght · 2004-08-13 20:16 · Score: 4, Insightful

For that much money, I'd rather build one myself.

+210$ for 250GB instead of 80GB
+76$ for WiFi
+60$ for a CD burner

ouch!
Expansion by MrNonchalant · 2004-08-13 23:06 · Score: 4, Insightful

What's most interesting to me is the single PCI expansion slot and open source OS. Means this thing is open to some serious customization. For instance, I could potentially hook this up to my wifi network.
