Hey gang, I stumbled across http://www.prismiq.com/ today (i saw it on thinkgeek). Anyone have any experience with these? For the unenlightened, it's a debian linux embedded device (diskless, fanless), $199 features: s-video and component video out optical or rca audio out 10/100 ethernet port pcmcia slot for wireless expandability IR remote control optional IR keyboard other crap like AIM chat support, web browsing, but that doesn't work too well on tvs.. streams: video mpeg 1, 2, 4, divx audio mp3, wav, shoutcast pictures jpg, gif, png It can stream any of the above media from smb shares on the network. it does require a windows only client running somewhere on the network.. For $200, it seems liek a pretty good deal but I havn't heard anything about it. I'm also thinking about myth tv - but that seems much more expensive (time and money-wise). Also, as the software is updated new features are added (divx was a recent thing I think, not sure). I also saw a murmur about ogg support -- don't know if that's avaialble currently or not. For me, I have a lot of divx (or, i would like to have a lot of divx :) ) but i want to watch them on a tv, not on my computer. In the past i've just run s-video out from my computer - but my new place i don't want my computer in my living room. This seems like a perfect deal. anyone have experience with it? dan _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
