</div>I think the idea is that this is a backend only, not a frontend.<br>

The slug should be more than powerful enough to open a network port<br>
and receive a recording from an HDHR tuner or something like that.<br>

For one, although it's processor is spec'd at 266MHz, it's under-clocked at 1/2 that speed - 133MHz. (There's a hack to 'fix' that, which I've done, but many may be afraid to do such a hack.) Then there's memory - only 32MB, etc. Memory is pretty full already. <br>
