DVB-T STB/MPEG2 Player That Can Access SMB Shares

feanor writes "Siemens is realeasing beginning of November the Gigaset M740 AV (German text). This is a DVB-T set-top-box that can access SMB shares either via ethernet or WLAN and store its MPEG2 compliant streams. Alternatively it can be used as an MPEG2 streaming client. Other cool features include the ability to hook-up standard USB hard-drives as storage, a dual tuner architecture and a very cool design."

This would NoT be the "mlife" that ms would like to live down... if all these birds began "cussin' up a storm", making late wakers "sleepless in Seattle", HOOO!!!!

Maybe those streams can carry this to the dishes and STBs and on to the TV sets, except, maybe the birds will give uncle bill the bird... "Blank you, bill gates, Bendover, bill gates..."

I guess a schload of megaphones can teach the birds in short order...

coaxed, coaxed, co-axed... That's an interesting word, in one context... and all 3 could happen at once:

coaxed- teased, goaded, prodded along, persuaded

coaxed- (forced verb of a noun, coax-, coaxial cable)

co-axed- axed/hacked along with another (heheheh)

Spurious word mangling at work...
