Hi, I am looking for a STB that I can install Linux onto. I need: 1) Net boot. 2) Wake on USB (for the remote control. I want the STB to be in a cupboard, with just the remote control eye outside, so a USB attached remote sensor.) 3) HDMI output 4) Able to decode MPEG4. 5) Fanless 6) Small, so probably mini-itx.
Essentially, It will be a mythfrontend accessing content from across the network. All my TV aerials etc. connect to a central PC, with the STB linking to them via Ethernet cables. I tested using a laptop as the STB, and wireless to the central box, the this kept breaking up the image, so I have to use Ethernet cables. Content will be recordings I have made from TV, and also my HD Video camera, jpeg pictures, you-tube etc. I cannot seem to find one that can do MPEG4/AVC and is fanless. On another point, I have quite a few IR remote sensors that plug in using a 3.5mm jack to DVB cards. Does anyone know how I might be able to interface these to a PC that does not have the DVB card in it. Maybe some serial interface or something.
