I haven't heard of anyone achieving playback from linux to the set top box 
yet.  I'm not particularly with it at the best of times though.

You'll find some drivers that allow streaming video and audio mpeg from the 
set top box to linux in cvs in the dvb-kernel module.  Look for ttusb-dec. 
They do nothing else mind, so you won't get any of the private streams with 
epg data and such in.  You could certainly use it to stream mpeg2 to a dxr2 
though.

The box (without firmware upgrade) seems to have been configured with 
outputting from pc to the set top box in mind - it has a usb mode that is all 
bandwidth going to the set top box.  I've been too lazy to check if the 
windows software supports it, but since the 2.15a software seems not to crash 
my windows test rig all the time like version 1.48 did, I might actually get 
around to having a look.

Cheers,
Alex
