Further, the engadget article here is incorrect in stating that this hack requires hardware mods, look at this quote from the linked article, "...running without any hardware modifications..." You just need to make a separate adaptor to access the serial port, not mod the box.]]>Feb 12th 2006 10:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/12/the-msn-tv-linux-cluster/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/12/the-msn-tv-linux-cluster/(the guy above 1st started thinking about it)

They go in order, click on the 1st one 1st]]>Feb 12th 2006 10:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/12/the-msn-tv-linux-cluster/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/12/the-msn-tv-linux-cluster/Feb 13th 2006 12:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/12/the-msn-tv-linux-cluster/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/12/the-msn-tv-linux-cluster/Feb 13th 2006 12:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/12/the-msn-tv-linux-cluster/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/12/the-msn-tv-linux-cluster/Feb 13th 2006 12:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/12/the-msn-tv-linux-cluster/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/12/the-msn-tv-linux-cluster/
The older WebTV units are slower, use only dialup and are integrated with a mostly Unix backend.

I wouldnt mind having a MSNTV unit near my tv, so I could be totally lazy and surf the web when I needed to.. but thats about it.

They are great for folks as entry devices, or low cost solutions for those folks who cannot afford a full blown computer.

As for getting them for a breeze.. well thats questionable. A lot of the stuff on ebay is the older WebTV stuff.. not the newer box as seen above.

What this guy did was awesome. Good work!]]>Feb 13th 2006 12:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/12/the-msn-tv-linux-cluster/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/12/the-msn-tv-linux-cluster/
HDTV changes things. 720p is more than sufficient in resolution with a sharp and steady image. What was a novelty on the Dreamcast could be a very practical feature on the Xbox 360 and PS3.]]>Feb 13th 2006 7:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/12/the-msn-tv-linux-cluster/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/12/the-msn-tv-linux-cluster/
