I bought their SX8300 with big dreams for a 2.5 Tbytes file server. Now I'm stuck with a 2.6.11 kernel because they have not updated their drivers for 3 years. I've sent emails asking them to please help me get the module compiled for a newer kernel- they just ignore me.
I like my Hauppauge Media MVP with mvpmc running on it. I just got it working this weekend, so I have not played with it much, but it will play video's from any machine on my network, and I can telnet to it and customize it. Being a control freak, I do like customizing things- like the remote control, the network shares it sees, splash screens.
Now I just need to get Carnegie Mellon's ESM peer to peer broadcast/viewer working on it, and my life will be complete.
So, has anyone compared these two devices- the Happauge Media MVP w/ mvpmc and the Apple TV? How long until we hack the Apple TV so I can take control?

I did work with peercast extensively, but could never get it to work to my satisfaction. I want to broadcast audio and video, and I don't want to use Micros$oft for any part of it.
I just looked at it again, and the video feeds in the yellow pages mostly don't work. Looks like I'm not the only one having trouble with peercast.
I'm telling you, my man Jibin at Carnegie Mellon is writing some top notch software. Uses videolan vlc for the encoding and capture, and you can use multiple machines to divide the tasks.
Are you useing peercast or freecast for video broadcasts?
Paul
I've been looking at a Carnegie Mellon peer-2-peer software to do just this.
Check it out at http://esm.cs.cmu.edu./ I like it because it uses peer-2-peer to keep things FREE.
Has anyone used anything similar to do free broadcasts?
