DIY Use your set-top box as a Linux box on your TV



Here’s an interesting way to hack a set-top box into a Linux box.

Now you can run linux on your TV, this set-top box apparently costs

around $500 US but I think you can hack it into something useful.

    You can similarly hack a MSNTV2 box (2, not 1). Inside, it’s an x86-based board with USB, sound, modem, etc.

    They go new for US$200, or used on ebay from US$0.01. I got each of mine for CAN$20 +shipping.
