Unfortunately the CD ROM just went west, a cloud of blue smoke. Took the thing apart and its fried. Holes in chips and a popped capacitor. Not good.
I'm not too sure about the availability of a replacement drive either
From what I read it isn't worth recording TV on the machine. No worries there as I have a Hauppauge Free view tuner with USB support for my pc.
My main plan for the box was to stream media from my PC over the network to the box, Using the AV out. I'm sure the hardware can do this but MacOS does not have the software for it. Hence I would like standard Ethernet networking and the ability to run the software I require to do this like VideoLAN or something similar.
I don't think the networking stack is up to scratch for streaming media either.
Please give me your insights into this.
