Does anyone have details regarding the CPU (which is not referred to
with any details, whatever "intel-like" means) and the mpeg2 hardware?
If the mpeg2 accelleration can be used I would guess this device can be
used for SD recordings (mpeg2) and music but I would guess transcoded
material (mpeg4 etc) would be too demanding. As noted the OS image has
to be modified to support "local NFS" (interesting name)...
