EFF Compiles Endangered Gizmos List

Hungry Student writes "The EFF has published an "Endangered Gizmos" list of technology that is at risk of extinction from the lobbyists of the entertainment industry. Extinct species include DVD X-Copy and Napster 1.0. Among those fighting for survival are Morpheus and HDTV tuner cards. The BBC has commentary on this as well." From the article: "The EFF intends the list to be part of a wider educational and awareness project, and it will be updated regularly as more gadgets and technologies are saved or killed off."

    Hey, I wouldn't say you have to be a linux genius... just be able to burn a bootable knopppmyth ISO =)

    The latest alpha knopmyth revision has built in support for the HD-3000 IIRC.

    I did find the included documentation a little thin on the HD3000, but there is a helpful hd-3000 forum and failing that you can come to my build your own PVR site with questions/pointers/etc...

    Although note: I haven't gotten around to installing my HD-3000 as of yet. Too many PVR cards/software too little time.
