Although this thread seems to have become about tv firmware hacking, I also have dedicated VDR boxes for both my upstairs and downstairs living rooms. Upstairs is only connected via HDMI cable while the pc is located in my office. Downstairs is running on a Nvidia ION system, again connected with HDMI. Both are controlled with ssh from my main desktop and latop. Neither have a keyboard/mouse/monitor plugged in since their only function is to run VDR -- a remote control is enough. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
