| But how about building a Linux system from scratch? Or on your phone? Even
| better, how about in your car?

Crystal Ball Sunday #12: Built-In Home Entertainment and Automation
,----[ Quote ]
| Howdy and welcome to Crystal Ball Sunday #12: Built-In Home Entertainment and
| Automation . Linux is the perfect medium for set top boxes (aka Set Top Units
| or Personal Video Recorders (PVR)) because of its customizability,
| optimization features, and no cost status. Whether you know them as Set Top
| Boxes, Set Top Units, or PVRs; you may know these generic names better by the
| brand name: TiVo. These Linux-based PVRs are not TiVo but they do what TiVo
| does and much more. With a PVR, you can watch, record, pause, and rewind live
| TV, watch movies, create your own home theater system, and so on.
