I am currently using debian lenny with backports. I want to use my linux box to play TV shows from myeasytv.com & others. It plays them in most cases but does a very poor job. I have talked to the Verizon FIOS folks and it seems that in a very short time they will begin offering a massive amount of programming via the internet in lieu of a channeled system that we have today. In short the set top boxes will become as effective or more so than the bulk of computers currently connected to the internet. It is a great idea as we can view what we want, when we want and the entire content of the internet will be viewable on my 60' HD system. I do not want to wait and have most of the hardware identified to do this now. However the linux software is not ready for prime time, I think. The real heartbreak is that I can do this now with Windows XP. I prefer not to do that. The main reason is the actual video decoding in linux is insufficient for the job. Does anyone have suggestions for getting on with this project? Short of the obvious of using windows:-) Thanks! -- John Foster
