    Default Tvcatchup on dbox2



    Hi everyone,

    Does anyone think it would be possible to modify some firmware on a dbox so that it can stream tvcatchup through the ethernet port?

    Let me know what you think

    Hi,

    By dbox are you referring to the digital satellite/cable set top boxes?

    Thanks

    I doubt that the dbox2 has a hardware H.264 decoder in it, or a powerful enough CPU to do software decoding. So, even if the firmware was written I doubt that the box could decode our streams.
