This is a great idea!



And for the main VDR machine, one could use an X box.
That should be a really great package!

As most of you know, Microsoft looses about $150 on each X box sold.
They are selling them below cost for various reasons (kick the competition
out of the market, as usual, get the product going, so they can make tons
of money with the games, etc.).
So the X box is excellent value for money and it would be perfect VDR
hardware once it has a dbox2 networked to it that can receive DVB-S.

As most of you also know, Linux for the X box is working already, so
the VDR should run on it with the appropriate plugins for X box TV out,
etc.

How much is a dbox2 right now?
How much would the total package cost?
Will all this be doable at all?
