Dear All, For a while I have been planning to make some sort of "TV computer" i.e. DVB recorder + DVD player + web video device etc. I was hoping to be able to wait until there were easy hackable off-the-shelf ARM boxes to do this but I think they are going to turn off my analogue TV signal in 3 days (!) and so it has got a bit more urgent (when does the new Doctor Who start???!). Has anyone here tried to do this?
If I look at packages.debian.org I can see that lots of things like vlc, mplayer etc. are available for arm* - but there's a difference between having built successfully and actually working on real hardware at real data rates. So do those packages know about e.g. video hardware features in any of the available ARM hardware? I'm wondering if I can use a Pandaboard. It has plenty of video output features but it is a bit weak on the other connectivity - the DVD, DVB-T, disk and ethernet would all be behind one USB hub. Tegra devices are a bit stronger as they have mini-pcie which could be connected up to SATA, but I've not found any actually-available hardware that does that.
