hi ...
I'm part of the "Freedom Box" project. We are in the phase of identifying the best (and cost-effective) hardware specs for a standard hardware platform to base the project (and in this way avoid compatibility problems and/or missing drivers).
What is your impression on the eeeBox announced here? http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=24&...odelmenu=2
Would it be able to play 720p and 1080p content? Would gnu/linux run on it?
We are open to anyone willing to help draft a stb spec that would suit the goal of mass-production/distribution of floss stb's.
Another interesting piece of hardware I've been watching is the neuros OSD2. Neuros is stepping out the media center GUI market and investing in a "open hardware" platform. Their dev box (http://store.neurostechnology.com/neuros...-p-55.html) promisses to be an open platform on which third parties can develop multimedia applications for. Full specs are here (pitty the partial support to 1080p): http://wiki.neurostechnology.com/index.p...ifications
