Yet another "set-top-box"?
|
|
|
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The "set-top-boxes" available from commercial companies all have
|
|
|
|
|
one major drawback: they are not "open". This project's goal is
|
|
|
|
|
to build an "open" digital satellite receiver and timer controlled
|
|
|
|
|
video disk recorder, based upon open standards and freely available
|
|
|
|
|
driver software (of course, the hardware still has to be bought).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The on screen menu system is simple, but shall provide all the
|
|
|
|
|
possibilites necessary to perform timer controlled recording,
|
|
|
|
|
file management and, maybe, even "on disk editing". The menus
|
|
|
|
|
of commercial set-top-boxes usually are a lot more fancy than
|
|
|
|
|
the ones in this system, but here we have the full source code
|
|
|
|
|
and can modify the menus in whatever way desired.

So, what do you think about this project? Does it make sense? Were you
|
|
|
|
|
able to use it? Do you have suggestions on how to improve it?
