An ATSC network attached device from Silicondust.

The device does not require drivers and works well under Linux when using applications, such as MythTV or VLC media player, that are able to interface with the device. In addition, third party dvb drivers are also available (see links below) for the device, allowing usage with dvb utilites and applications such as the dvb-apps, Kaffeine, MPlayer etc.

Overview/Features

This interesting embedded device, often referred to simply as the 'HDHR', runs Ubicom's own ipOS RTOS. It is capable of supporting both 8-VSB (ATSC) and 64/256-QAM (SCTE 07 Digital Cable) sources. In addition, the IP3023/ipOS combination is capable of providing hardware PID filtering.
