Dvr Card Linux
is it possible to install linux on a cable box?
i have a cable box that has dvr and it can show hd which means it has a pretty good graphics card. is it possible to install an operating system such as linux and use it as a regular computer?
These boxes are pretty much speciallized for what they do. The main problem is that you don't have the input devices like keyboard and mouse. The guys who develop these have special devices to set them up but you don't. Nice thought though.
