Linux-based Tahoe HD DVR from Pace
Posted by Filip Norrgard in "HARDWARE" @ 09:00 AM
"Pace Micro Technology launched a new Linux-based HD DVR (high-definition digital video recorder) at the NCTA (National Cable and Telecommunications Association) show in San Francisco this week. Pace says its "Tahoe" HD DVR offers the best features in its class. The Tahoe runs an unspecified embedded Linux version, along with Pace's "EngineWare" middleware for cable set-top boxes. It comes with a 160GB SATA hard drive, and capacity can be upgraded with external SATA drives, Pace says. The Tahoe features dual HD tuners, and can record two channels concurrently. It can also decode two HD channels concurrently, for PIP (picture-in-picture), Pace says."
The Pace Tahoe can also serve as a cable modem, so no need for an ADSL modem anymore! There are no details on where and when this DVR will be released, but Comcast and Time Warner have got deals with Pace and will most likely carry this. If you want the Tahoe in your home, then keep bugging your cable operator to get it. I wonder how long it will take before someone ports MythTV to this Linux box. :cool:
