ArsGeek reviews the Neuros OSD

,----[ Quote ]
| The first two observations I made when I opened my Neuros OSD were that the 
| unit was a lot smaller than I was expecting (about five and a half inches by 
| five and a half inches in size) and that it looked nice. This was no flat 
| looking boxy apparatus, nor was it a standard component. It was curved, it 
| was sleek, black and more aerodynamic than any other DVR I’ve come across.    
| 
| I liked the size and the look immediately. Not only was this thing slick 
| looking, but I could easily grab the RCA cables and the Neuros and bring it 
| over to a friends house to watch whatever I’d recorded.

The Linux-based Neuros OSD

,----[ Quote ]
| Neuros Technology did it again: one more of their interesting media products 
| hits the market, and this time it uses Linux. We used the Neuros OSD this 
| past week and here's what we think about it.  
| 
| [...]
| 
| Overall, Neuros seems to get it. Extensibility, plus a powerful product. 
| Hopefully HD abilities and failing that, S-Video out, will be available on 
| the next major revision of the product. Sure, it doesn't feel as cool as an 
| AppleTV, but it does so much more!

YouTube on the TV with the OSD

,----[ Quote ]
| Neuros is certainly not the only ones bringing net video to the TV, but we 
| are probably the only CE company doing it with open source. Nowhere is the 
| intersection between free software and free speech more obvious. If the 
| connection between the internet and the TV falls into the hands of a 
| proprietary vendor's closed solution, then the hard won free speech victory
| of he internet will fall far short of its ultimate potential.

Apple TV hacked already 

,----[ Quote ]
| Enthusiasts from Something Awful forum were annoyed by the general 
| lack of third party movie support for Apple's latest product, Apple
| TV - and went on to create something useful with it. Awkward and
| Sabretooth modified Apple's little box and got it working with
| Xvid files with no problems.

Linux is running on APPLE TV

,----[ Quote ]
| I've got the linux kernel booting on my Apple TV. It was not easy,
| but after reading over the information on how they got it workin on
| the mac mini, I was finally able to figure out how to make it work
| on the ATV also.
| 
| There are sevral changes that need to be made to the lilo bootloader
| just to get it to boot the kernel. It does not boot fully into linux
| yet, but it gets pretty far before giving a kernel panic. There are 
| still a lot of drivers missing that will need to be compiled in to
| get it to boot up all the way, but this is a start.
