“This is the Dreambox, a Linux powered price winning
digital television receiver. While it may not look like much at
first, wait till you hear what special features it supports (some
unofficially) .

“Dream multimedia, the german company selling these devices
sells several different Linux powered satellite and digital cable
television receivers.

“The software running on the Dreambox was originally developed
for the DBox2 a device distributed by KirchMedia for their pay TV
services. The bankruptcy of KirchMedia flooded the market with
unsold boxes which was great for Linux enthusiasts who could get
the Nokia manufactured devices at greatly reduced prices. The
current dreambox models are still based on this hardware
design.”
