I got tired of my HTPC plans, when I heard of a Linux based DVD-player and HD recorder
I bought the KiSS DP-558 a copule of months ago, and with the latest firmware (1.1.3), it does almost all that I wanted my HTPC to do:
- Plays DVD, CD, MP3, DivX, VCD...
- Records TV on the internal harddrive
- Timeshift
- Schedule recordings via web, also works fine with my Sony Ericsson P800
- Online TV program guide
- Search IMDB
- Listen to internet radio (Shoutcast streams)
- Watch DivX, streamed from my PC
- Play simple games
There are still
some bugs, but KiSS are working hard to fix those. They have released two new firmwares in just a month!
