[ALUG] Don't suppose any others of you have got a Toppy PVR, have you?

You need to look at getting some of the "Taps" to run on it, you
really *need* MyStuff ( http://www.bobdsmystuff.co.uk/ ) and the other
associated bits that go with it. Without these bits it's not a great pvr
but as soon as you add them it's a really capable machine.  I'd also
look at trying to get your aerial sorted maybe as it will grumble
sometimes if things aren't perfect.

As for the stuff I was on about, hmmmn, it'd probably be easier to
explain in person, but the Asus box is just running an embedded form of
Linux with a few packages to make the contents of the Toppy available
over the network. You probably want to take a look at
http://www.toppy.org.uk as there is plenty of useful things on that
forum that explain it in depth. I was going to write a script that 
would automagically setup an Asus router but I've not got a round tuit
yet.
