The netv from chumby seems to be perfect as a hardware client to VDR, if it can decode mpeg2/h.264. Does anyone here know any more about this product? It seems to be fairly open, and based on an embedded linux distro.

Hi,
From what I read about it yesterday I had the impression that it can be used for displaying "anything but videos" on top of the external sources picture (that - by the way - can't come from an internal tuner integrated in the TV). "Anything but videos" IMHO means: Web pages, photos, rss news, its own OSD.
So IMHO it's not meant to be used as a video player / video streaming device like - for example these upcoming devices: http://dune-hd.com/news/183-dune-hd-tv-101-301.html
Cheers, hepi

http://wiki.chumby.com/index.php/NeTV_FPGA_architecture somebody needs to write an output device plugin for the hardware? Unless you want to write a chrome application for the device and go through the user interface http://wiki.chumby.com/index.php/NeTV_local_UI ?

Hi,
I'm wondering if "passing through" a video stream and overlaying it with some "Chrome" needs less CPU power compared to rendering a video stream from a video file that is being received over WiFi. This device is the first device I've seen that includes this form of HDMI passthrough.
Cheers, hepi
