Or a Wii with Opera Browser and a Wireless USB keyboard. I suspect that is $150-$200 less than that box, AND you can play games!
Now I am unaware of any VOIP app for the Wii...

However for that price you can snag a PC to record TV Shows. ;)]]>Oct 26th 2007 2:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/babel-tv-set-top-box-weds-freeview-pvr-and-internet/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/babel-tv-set-top-box-weds-freeview-pvr-and-internet/Oct 26th 2007 4:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/babel-tv-set-top-box-weds-freeview-pvr-and-internet/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/babel-tv-set-top-box-weds-freeview-pvr-and-internet/Oct 26th 2007 5:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/babel-tv-set-top-box-weds-freeview-pvr-and-internet/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/babel-tv-set-top-box-weds-freeview-pvr-and-internet/Oct 26th 2007 10:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/babel-tv-set-top-box-weds-freeview-pvr-and-internet/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/babel-tv-set-top-box-weds-freeview-pvr-and-internet/Oct 26th 2007 4:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/babel-tv-set-top-box-weds-freeview-pvr-and-internet/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/babel-tv-set-top-box-weds-freeview-pvr-and-internet/

Yes this is really a photo of what they are putting out, thank you captain obvious. It looks to be a Morex Cubid ITX case, and that isn't a floppy bay: http://www.mini-itx.com/reviews/2688R/

"Is it a slimline floppy bay?... it turns out to be space for a compact flash reader, available as an option from Morex."

I think it isn't such a bad deal if you don't want or can't roll your own ITX PC, it has a DVB-T tuner and can record the stream and play it back, that alone is probably worth the money.

I am curious to see how this plays back digital TV, and at what resolutions, I don't know of any ITX boards that can play back 1080i in software (needs 2+ Ghz K8/Core2), so perhaps this is a hardware decoder based setup.]]>Oct 27th 2007 12:06AM
