Users / Target Hardware - TiVo?
« on: September 30, 2007, 05:13:59 am »
Despite the generic title I'm not asking about what hardware I should ues for LMCE.
What I'm wondering is if there would be a way to install it on a TiVo box. OK -realisticly I expect there isn't as I belive TiVo has low powered generic hardware with a few custom chips to handle stuff so Ubuntu probably wouldn't run on TiVo hardware, let alone Myth. But I figure, hey - TiVo is Linux based...LMCE is Linux based...and I see $30-$80 TiVo hardware on eBay all the time.
While I do love my TiVo, I'd also love to pick up some old hardware, wipe the drive, and try some open source (OK - free) stuff out too (plus, then I could afford to give such things as gifts 'cause the recipient wouldn't face monthly fees).
Does such a thing exist yet? Is it even possible?
Thanks!
