What about a simple multimedia networking device like the Mvix <a href="http://www.mvixusa.com">www.mvixusa.com</a><br><br>They appear to have a live community in open source development for the device.<br>Would have been nice if the device had the&nbsp; sigma EM8623L and not the EM8621L, the 21L doesn&#39;t support 
H.264 decoding :(<br><br>This would make nice VDR client (add-on) without having to upgrade your current hardware. I would recommend a device _like_ this to Klaus for development purposes. The TVix appears to have the EM8623L chip, but I can&#39;t find any references to open source development community.
