Buy a topfield TF5800 and a linksys NSLU-2 and stick puppy on it then the linksys will be the ethernet adaptor to your pvr box. This may or may not give you what you want, I'm happy enough with the topfield box that I can't be bothered to stick an ethernet interface on it or research it too much more.
Interesting, looks like this device may also better suit Jan's needs...even if it is a little more expensive than the humax, at least there is some Linux support.
Hmm... I would rather like to avoid having to buy yet another gadget (linksys NSLU-2), but the people who made puppy and FtpdTopfield appear to have access to, or have figured out the Topfield USB protocol. And since this stuff runs on top of an embedded Linux system, I wonder whether someone has ported this stuff to the PC based Linux system platform.
Is that available somewhere?
I don't expect to want to download that many recordings from a PVR anyway, and for the few occasions, a simplistic tool (perhaps similar to pilot-xfer) would be quite sufficient for me.
Best regards, Jan
